Free WordPress Themes for Churches from Vandelay Design

One of the reasons I started offering WordPress websites for churches is because of the huge need for affordable church websites that are great looking and easy to manage. Vandelay Design has seen the same need and has created a solid deal to help churches out. You can get one of their 3 free WordPress themes designed for churches or one of 2 themes designed for non-profits simply by signing up for web hosting through a specific host they link to.

Compra eCommerce WordPress Theme from Mint Themes

If you have a small business, a ministry where you sell products, or any type of need for an eCommerce website Mint Themes may have the right theme for you. That theme is Compra. This theme will allow you to house your own online store. Compra uses one of the best WordPress eCommerce plugins – Cart66. It even integrates with my favorite email newsletter app, MailChimp. Built into the theme is the ability to have product pages, photo albums, testimonials, news/blog and checkout. Like all Mint Themes, you also get well organized Photoshop files.

City Church WordPress Theme

City Church is a WordPress child theme for Builder, a premium WordPress theme created by iThemes. A child theme is simply a different design for an existing theme, and works with the original theme’s structure. That is helpful when you already have a great base (like Builder) and want to offer different designs within that. 

The theme comes with staff and sermon post type features built in to help you display that content on your church site well. Like many of their themes, City Church use Gravity Forms and have specific styles for them. I like the variety of layouts you can choose from to determine how you want to display your content.

Trinity Theme from ChurchThemes.net

ChurchThemes.net’s latest theme is Trinity. It has the great look a lot of church themes are going with these days with the navigation, banner rotator and widgets at the bottom for the home page. With the content they loaded in there for the demo the Leadership of that “church” is top notch.
