See everything Kerux does, from the community for Christians to prayer, the Bible and safety.
Kerux (κῆρυξ, said KAY-rooks) is the Greek word for a herald or preacher: someone sent to carry good news to the people. The apostle Paul wrote, "I was appointed as a preacher" (1 Timothy 2:7, 2 Timothy 1:11), and the word he used was kēryx.
Kerux the app carries that good news into your day. It greets you with peace, reminds you to pray, opens the whole Bible, walks you through the church year, and helps with everything else in life: money, family, health, work, your home, your car, and any question you have.

Choose the times you want to stop and pray each day. Kerux reminds you with church bells, a gentle chime, or a quiet notification. Change a time whenever you like, or turn a reminder off.
There are no fixed hours you must pray: Paul says "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Many Christians still keep set times, like morning and evening prayer, and some follow the Daily Office or the Liturgy of the Hours. Set whatever rhythm helps you.
Write down what you're praying for. Mark a prayer as answered, and look back on how God has been faithful. Your journal stays only on this device and is never sent anywhere.
(Philippians 4:6)
Jesus taught His followers this prayer (Matthew 6:9–13). Christians everywhere pray it, alone or together.
Many churches end with "For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." These words are found in some ancient copies of Matthew and in very early Christian worship. Some traditions say "debts", others "trespasses" or "sins". All mean the same thing: we need God's forgiveness, and we forgive others.
You don't need special words. God hears a simple, honest prayer. ACTS is just one helpful pattern.
The Psalms are the Bible's prayer book: 150 songs for every feeling, from joy to grief to anger to hope. Jesus Himself prayed them.
Lord, thank You for this new day. Thank You for my life, my breath and the people I love. Walk with me today. Help me to be kind, honest and patient, and to notice the people You put in my path. Give me what I need, and use me for good. In Jesus' name, amen.
Lord, thank You for being with me today. Forgive me where I fell short, and help me forgive others. I give You my worries for tomorrow. Watch over me and the people I love tonight, and give us rest. In Jesus' name, amen.
Thank You, Lord, for this food and for the hands that made it. Bless it to our bodies, and make us mindful of those in need. Amen.
A summary of the Christian faith, said in many churches since the early centuries. This is the traditional English wording from the Book of Common Prayer (1662).
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead,
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
The holy Catholick Church;
The Communion of Saints;
The Forgiveness of sins;
The Resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting. Amen.
Old words: "Holy Ghost" means the Holy Spirit; "quick" means the living; "catholic" means universal, the whole Church everywhere. Orthodox churches mainly use the Nicene Creed, which says the same core truths.
Thank You, Lord
Use the counter for a prayer you repeat, or to pray through a list of people one by one. Some Christians pray with beads or knots: many Catholics pray the Rosary, Orthodox Christians often use a prayer rope for the Jesus Prayer, and some Anglicans and Lutherans use prayer beads. Many others never count at all. Use whatever helps you pray.
Type your city or town once. Kerux uses it to find churches and local sessions near you.
Visiting a new church? Most welcome guests warmly. Check the service times on their website, arrive a few minutes early, and don't worry about knowing what to do: just say you're new.
Get a reminder before church. Choose Sunday, or another day if your church meets then.
Many churches stream their services. Search by church or city, or see what's live right now.
Watching online is a blessing when you're sick, traveling or caring for someone. Most churches also encourage gathering in person when you can, because faith grows in community (Hebrews 10:24–25).
Many churches post their services online. Pick a Sunday to find recordings from that date.
All Christians follow Jesus Christ, read the Bible, and confess one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Churches differ in how they worship and organize, and Kerux respects them all.
Catholic: the largest Christian church, led by the Pope and bishops. Worship centers on the Mass and seven sacraments, with a rich tradition of saints and prayer.
Orthodox: the ancient churches of the East, such as Greek, Russian, Antiochian, Coptic and Ethiopian. Worship centers on the Divine Liturgy, with icons, chant and a deep life of prayer.
Protestant: churches that grew from the Reformation of the 1500s, with a strong focus on the Bible and salvation by grace through faith. They include:
Traditions see some things differently, such as baptism, communion, saints and church leadership. If you're unsure, visit a few churches and talk with the pastor or priest.

Why know them? In the Bible, a name tells you who someone is. God reveals Himself through many names and titles: the One who provides, who heals, who sees, who is our peace. Jesus called Himself the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life and the Light of the World. "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe" (Proverbs 18:10).
Hebrew names are shown in English letters. "LORD" in capitals stands for God's personal name, Yahweh.

Western churches (Catholic and Protestant) and Orthodox churches figure the date of Easter with different calendars, so the dates are sometimes the same and sometimes weeks apart.
| Year | Western Easter | Orthodox Easter (Pascha) |
|---|
Dates follow the Western church calendar unless marked Orthodox. Your own church may keep some days differently, such as moving Epiphany or Ascension to the nearest Sunday.
Advent: four Sundays of hopeful waiting and preparing for Christmas.
Christmas: celebrating the birth of Jesus, for twelve days from December 25.
Epiphany: January 6, remembering the Wise Men and Jesus shown to all nations.
Lent: 40 days (not counting Sundays) from Ash Wednesday, a season of prayer, fasting and giving, getting ready for Easter. Many people give something up or take on a good habit.
Holy Week: from Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday and Good Friday, remembering Jesus' last days, His death and burial.
Easter: the greatest feast: Jesus is risen! The Easter season lasts 50 days.
Ascension and Pentecost: Jesus returns to the Father, and the Holy Spirit comes on the church.
Ordinary Time: the rest of the year, growing in faith week by week.
Orthodox Christians keep Great Lent, which begins on Clean Monday and counts the days differently, and they usually celebrate Pascha (Easter) on a different date. Many Protestant churches keep only some of these days. Every tradition is welcome here.
A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. The name was first used for His followers in Antioch (Acts 11:26). At the heart of the faith is a Person, not a rulebook: Jesus, who said "I am the way and the truth and the life" (John 14:6).
Christians in different traditions explain some of these things in their own ways, for example how faith, works and the sacraments fit together. The creeds, like the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, sum up what nearly all Christians share.
Wherever you are coming from, you are welcome. Following Jesus begins with trusting Him: "if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, that You died for my sins and rose again. I'm sorry for the wrong I have done. Thank You for Your forgiveness. I want to follow You. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and lead my life. Amen.
There are no magic words. God looks at the heart. Different churches welcome new believers in different ways, so tell a pastor or priest about your step of faith.
When life is heavy, the Bible gives words for what you feel, and promises to hold on to. Open the one that fits today. Read it slowly, pray it, and let God meet you there.
God cares for your whole self. If you're struggling with your mind or body, please also talk to a doctor or counselor; that is part of taking care of the life God gave you. If you're thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 in the US (or your local emergency number) right now.
Christians see marriage as a lifelong covenant between a husband and wife, before God: "a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). Here is a simple path many couples follow.
If there is abuse or danger in a relationship, your safety comes first. Reach out to someone you trust, a pastor, or local help; in the US call 911 in an emergency, or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

Modern worship songs are protected by copyright, so Kerux doesn't show their words. You can always find them with your church or a licensed music app.
Reminders pop up while Kerux is open. For prayer times, use Prayer → Reminders, which can ring even when Kerux is closed in the Kerux app.
A tithe means giving a tenth (10%). Use this to plan your giving to your church and to people in need.
Giving is personal, between you and God. Christians differ on whether the tithe is a rule for today, and on whether to count income before or after taxes; many see 10% as a good guide, not a limit. If you are in debt or struggling, caring for your family is part of faithfulness too. Talk with your pastor if you're unsure.
