Really late on this comment, but thought I’d showcase another WP Church site – they love the CMS functionality it gave them (their old site was hard to update and could have easily won the Ugliest Website award by their own admission).

Here’s the WP version:

You can download this FREE WordPress Theme to build your church web site. It was developed to make customizing, building and growing web sites as easy as possible. Feel free to email me with questions.

I'm giving away a nice wordpress theme for churches at Ministry Theme. Nothing is for sale and I don't do ads, so this is not spam. Just take and share. Build on it - enjoy it. It's open source and free, GPL.

I just discovered Wordpress this year and have been quite impressed with using it as a CMS. My family and I are helping a church plant by leading the children’s ministry, so I made a church site out of Brian Gardner’s Revolution theme for the Tuscaloosa Vineyard Church http://www.tuscaloosavineyard.com. I enjoyed the experience so much that I’ve begun making Wordpress themes just for churches. You can find them at http://www.organizedthemes.com.
Thanks for pointing people to WordPress to help with their church CMS needs

This is a terrific interview! I had NO idea that one could use WordPress for a website, and that churches were doing so. I am involved with a ministry and they sure could use a way to have a website that didn’t cost an arm and a leg, using resources needed elsewhere. I’m going to share this with them.

Hey Tony,

We’ve been using Wordpress for several years as our CMS on a site that you may not even recognize as a WordPress site – http://www.LakeForest.org . I just drew up a custom theme which WordPress makes easy. For us back in 2005, it was the easiest way for us to do Podcasting easily. Now that I’m doing missions in Europe, we’re using Wordpress as our CMS on almost all of our new sites. We’re even using WordPressMU (a multiple blog version of Wordpress) to manage our short term teams that come over.

To Mark Barnes, thanks for the Sermn Browser plugin. Looks great – I’ll have to use it in our church website.

Those who are using Wordpress as a CMS for their church (as I am) might like to know about my Sermon Browser plugin which allows churches to simply upload sermons to their Wordpress website, where they can be searched, listened to, and downloaded. Full podcasting support is also included.

Hey Tony

Thanks for this article – really got me thinking – and as a result I picked up a Wordpress magazine theme and built a new site for my Senior Pastors blog / network website. So easy to do as well thanks to the way wordpress works. I ended up paying a few pounds for an excellent theme at found at http://www.wp-magazine.com which seems to be super popular – but their support has been excellent!

For anyone interested the site I’ve been working on is still partially under construction at http://staging2.davegilpin.com but should be live in the next week at http://www.davegilpin.com

Thanks for helping make a huge difference!
