What it does

Church and ministry websites have specific jobs: posting sermons, announcing services, promoting charity events and keeping prayer schedules current. This theme is designed around those needs. You start from one of three distinct homepage layouts, import the full demo content in one click, and then swap in your own text, images and dates. From there, the site works as an online home where your congregation can find what is happening and stay connected.

Page building runs through WPBakery Page Builder, which includes more than 19 custom elements made for church websites. Revolution Slider is included for touch-friendly slides featuring events or messages, and a countdown timer can highlight an upcoming service. Colors are set in the WordPress Live Customizer with a live preview. The theme is translation ready with POT files, works with WPML for multilingual sites, and is compatible with WooCommerce if you want to sell merchandise or event tickets.
