The 6 Best WordPress Themes for Churches 2014
Just as businesses learned to provide an online facet to their brick and mortar shops, modern churches and religious groups have started to adapt to the 21st century by providing Internet accessibility of their spiritual support for their parishioners, as well as for those seeking religious instruction.
Those whose main focus is on the spiritual instead of the technological are likely to have very little programming knowhow, so obviously their need for easy to use and easy to set up websites is great. Thankfully, WordPress Themes answered those prayers and here is the list of WordPress themes for churches that you can choose from:
1. ChurcHope
All your hopes for a theme are fulfilled with this premium responsive theme that offers flexible layouts. You can reach everyone with your message, since it’s compatible with just about every browser and it’s already SEO optimized. If that’s not enough to convince you, this theme also has an auto install sample data, contact forms, custom admin panel, and animated portfolio.
2. Evangelist
Fully responsive and with a one click auto install feature, it was designed with churches in mind. In fact, it includes an events calendar and prayer books, and even sermons can be uploaded and downloaded.
