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.

I serve as Chief Information Officer for a new company called High School Sporting Memories, which is the parent company of TeamFlix.com (currently under development). In short, our goal is to film every high school sporting event in America so that family and friends may watch free clips on line and order full game DVD’s. This corporate site was built primarily for investor and advertiser relations. It is built on WordPress for easy updating of content.
I’ve completed work on a custom WordPress theme I’m calling Balance of Blue. I designed it with business applications in mind. I’m an advocate for using WordPress as an entire site solution and content management system, so this theme was created to highlight the potential for that kind of usage.
Please note: I’ve updated this theme and have based it on better code, so it now supports gravatars, tags, and other important features.
