# Introduction

> Project Zoe is an open-source church relationship management system (RMS) built to help churches track people, groups, attendance, finance, and reporting — all in one place.

## What is Project Zoe?

Project Zoe is a people-first RMS designed for churches and faith-based organisations. It gives church leaders a single platform to:

* **Know their people** — maintain detailed contact records for every member, visitor, and company in the church
* **Organise into groups** — model your church structure as a deep hierarchy (Movement → Network → FOB → Location → Zone → Fellowship)
* **Track events and attendance** — record who showed up to services, fellowships, and special events
* **Manage finances** — log transactions across bank, mobile money, and cash accounts; reconcile mobile money inflows automatically
* **Gather reports** — define custom report templates and collect data submissions from group leaders
* **Coordinate tasks** — assign pastoral follow-up tasks to team members and track them to completion
