Life is a Premium WordPress Theme available from ThemeForest.net that can work well for a church or ministry website. This is not the same as the Life Site Template mentioned on last week’s post. The advantages it has for a church website include the large slider on the home page and up to 6 boxes to highlight specific events, ministries or resources. The home page has 3 different designs that can be used if desired. The them also comes with detailed documentation to help when installing and customizing the theme. Like many of the themes available at ThemeForest, it can be had for just $35.

WordPress Church Theme
The WordPress Church Theme was designed by Chris Molitor and offers a pretty simple, straight-forward usage of WordPress for a church website. There are 5 color options, a theme options panel, and some sweet jquery effects such as hover navigation effects and an accordion-like sidebar. It offers some pretty basic social web integration as well. A very nice starter theme for a church on a budget!
