Why this stack exists

Churches need tools that are easy to update, respectful of sensitive context, and practical for small teams and volunteers.

Stack principle

Each tool needs a clear role, a clear handoff, and a clear reason to stay.

These pages are designed to become the future handoff layer for an interactive advisor that recommends complete AI stacks by situation.
