WordPress for Ministry Gallery Launched

5 Comments to Read

I’ve recently launched a little fun project over at WP for Ministry. It’s intended to be a gallery of churches, ministries, pastors, and even Christian web designers using WordPress to power their sites. The theme for WP for Ministry is an Elegant Theme. Feel free to offer a submission with a screenshot and a description.

Ministry Theme - Premium WordPress Theme for Church & Ministry

Update: The Ministry Theme was initially intended to be a theme for purchase, but because of the swirling debate surrounding commercially licensed WordPress themes, I’m attempting to remain above reproach. You may donate below, but the theme and all code is now licensed as GPL.

The Ministry Theme has been a LONG time in the making. It’s a premium WordPress theme designed with churches and ministries in mind. The support site, www.ministrytheme.com, will be launched very soon, but you can go ahead and pick up a copy now! The theme features…

  • A clean, but easily skinnable, light design.
  • Custom home, archives, and links pages.
  • Tabbed sidebars (that degrade in IE6).
  • A DHTML menu that follows your page structure.
  • Front page post thumbnails.
  • A widgetized sidebar.
  • WordPress 2.6 ready with image and caption styling.
  • Gravatar/avatar support in the comments section.

I’ll soon be opening up a forum for support, but for now you can contact me with questions or support requests. Please note that I’m available for support and will offer tutorials publicly soon, but customizations will be handled on a quote-per-hour basis.

Check out the DEMO!
