Kerygma is a static site generator for churches. It generates HTML and React JS from markdown. It also adds sermon and document management functionality geared specifically for churches.

The Greek noun kerygma (κήρυγμα) means preaching or proclamation.

For after that in the wisdom of God the world knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching (κήρυγμα) to save them that believe. ~ 1 Cor. 1:21
