Overview
Many churches and nonprofits need a website that shares sermons, lists events and accepts gifts, but they lack the time or staff for a complicated build. ChurchWP keeps to the essentials. It comes with demo content that can be imported, so you start from finished layouts written around church and nonprofit needs and then swap in your own text and images.
The theme uses HTML5 and CSS3 and adapts to phones, tablets and desktop screens, including retina displays. It works with WPBakery Page Builder, WooCommerce, WPML and Events Calendar Pro, so you can add page layouts, an online store, translations or a fuller event calendar as your ministry grows. Documentation is available online and offline.
Features
- Importable demo content: Pre-built layouts and sample content made for churches and nonprofits can be imported, giving you a working site structure to edit instead of a blank page.
- Responsive and retina ready: The layout adjusts to different devices and screen resolutions, so sermons, event details and donation pages stay readable for visitors on phones, tablets and computers.
- Multilingual with WPML: The theme is compatible with WPML, which lets you translate your site and serve congregations and community members who speak different languages.
- Donation-ready pages: ChurchWP is set up to collect online donations, giving your organization a straightforward way to accept gifts for its causes.
- Sermons and event management: The theme is designed for publishing sermons and scheduling events, and it works with Events Calendar Pro if you want a fuller calendar.
- Plugin compatibility: It works with WPBakery Page Builder, WooCommerce and the Bootstrap framework, so you can adjust page layouts or add a shop without changing themes.
- Clean HTML5 and CSS3 code: The theme is built on modern HTML5 and CSS3 markup, which keeps the code tidy and suited to current web standards.
- Cross-browser support: ChurchWP works in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge and IE11+, so visitors see a consistent site whichever browser they use.
