Notes
Church Cap remains local-first and open-source. Captions and translations are AI-generated and may be inaccurate, especially for names, Scripture, theology, pastoral details, and safeguarding-sensitive content. Churches should test before services and follow their own privacy, safeguarding, accessibility, and data-protection policies.
