Genesis Church in Spokane, WA used WordPress in the design of their new church website. They used the Life Site Template (not a WordPress theme) from ThemeForest.net. Pastor Josh indicated that the footer was customized and the site template has not easily worked with some plugins but clearly it has made for an excellent look.
Parkside Baptist Church in Mesquite, TX uses WordPress. They used the Resolution Theme featured on this site a couple days ago. Resolution can be purchased for $35 from ThemeForest.net. A home page builder comes with the Resolution theme and Parkside made good use of the jQuery slider and the six content boxes for their home page.
Clifton Community Church in the UK uses WordPress. Paul Cook of Catalyst Designs designed the site and used the Simplicity theme from WooThemes that was featured on this site 2 days ago. Paul liked using the featured slider and 3 of the box widgets on the home page and smartly used the portfolio feature as the staff page. I like the two navigation menus and the footer containing a lot of the extra content.
Real Life Christian Church in Chesapeake, VA uses WordPress for their recently re-designed website. They used the Studeo WordPress Theme available from ThemeForest. I really like the look of that theme and it works great for churches or ministries. The site is currently under construction as they are still in the process of fine tuning it.
Proclaimers is one church in two locations, Norwich and Ipswich, UK. They seem to be using a custom theme. They’re using a Quick Links drop down at the top of the site like many churches are doing. I think they are a great way to give your regular visitors easy access to every section on the website.
Cornerstone Community Church’s website runs on WordPress! The website was designed by Mike Morris of Faith Engineer Design and it runs on the Moses theme from Church Themer. Church Themer makes great themes that you can easily customize and put right to work to have a great church website up and running quickly.
Passion for God is a network of people who work to equip God’s people for works of service and their website runs on WordPress! Paul Cook let us know about the site. It’s using the Paradigm Premium WordPress Theme available through ThemeForest. They’re also using EventBrite and WuFoo forms, two 3rd party solutions we wrote about a couple weeks ago here and here.
Breakthrough Church in Juneau, AK uses WordPress! Their website is running the Yamidoo PRO theme from WPZoom. They’re using the blog as a Recent News feature which is nice.
Biggleswade Church uses WordPress! Trevor let us know about this site that he designed. He used the free WordPress theme from Site5 called Boldy. There a number of free themes you can get from Site 5 and their hosting is great too.
I like the layout, the navigation, and the way the theme highlights major things on the home page via the 4 primary sections but also includes important information in the widgets beneath that. Designing a church website always involves trying to mesh a clean, simple design with the need to display important information readily.
Thrive Church in Jackson, TN uses WordPress. Pastor Herb Halstead shared the site with us. I love that it uses the Standard Theme, seeing that I clearly love that theme as I use it on this site and my personal blog. This is just another great example of how you can customize it in so many different ways and still get all the great functionality that comes with it.
