More WordPress churches
Oct 5th, 2006
Continuing the campaign to see churches get online the easy way - with Wordpress. Here a few more churches using WordPress:
- Kings Church, Chinley, UK
- Faithbridge Presbyterian Church,Texas, USA
- Grace Church, Arkansas
- Carrigaline Baptist Church, Carrigaline, Co. Cork, Ireland.
- Cambray Baptist Church, Cheltenham , UK
I’d love to hear from anybody using WordPress to run their church website.
Writing as the “editor” of the cambray website I am impressed with what wordpress blog/ simple content management system can offer churches, the fact that I could install it was a good start.I looked at the instructions for other CMS installations and felt like screaming or crying!
just started to use wordpress for our church website, also.
Dear Tim, I am using your LivingOS_Alpha theme, because it looks very nice. But only with IE. With Firefox the buttons do not look like they should. See http://www.kirche-weiach.ch/web/
Can you help me? (Sorry for my english)
Hi again Tim,
I have been using your theme for the local humane society page (www.svhspets.com) and have found an issue with the menus and IE 7. The menus are still fine in previous versions of IE but not with 7. Have you seen this and have any idea what I need to do to fix it?
Thanks again for all of your hard work,
We are now using wordpress for our website and your excellent theme! We have recently moved from CWIAB as it was too much for what we need.
Take a look and let me know what you think.

Site is looking good Simon.
Tim,
I love your livingOS_alpha theme, and more importantly your insights into the connection between the open source movement and Christianity. And our site looks better than ever…
Thanks,

Tim,
I recently relaunched my church’s website using the Psi theme as a base. Thanks for your efforts in the Church/FOSS world! I’ve even found a nice Flash audio player that allows viewers to play sermons online. Check out our site at crestviewbaptistnc.org
Justin,
Great example and the big offering progress bar is a new and interesting feature!
As for audio I use Audio Player or PodPress plugins.
I recently used WordPress to create an Arts and Music blog for Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Kenmore. I liked it so much that I used WP and your Psi theme to revamp the main Web site for the church. Great work with the theme - thanks!

We are using Wordpress and your Alpha Theme to run our Church site. Having blogged using Wordpress for a number of years it made sense when I agreed to rewrite the Churches site to use something I already knew. I thought about using Drupal, which I have used for a few intranet sites for the school I work at. The major advantage the Drupal has is much easier management of files and there are plugins that can auto log students in based upon either LDAP or the proxy server.
However for a site that was mostly about presenting information Wordpress is ideal. It is easy to use and highly extensible with it’s excellent bank of plugins. One plugin I particularly like is “Viper
Execellent site. I’ve preached at Castlehill too!
We also use an older version of Wordpress to run our church website. http://www.reachingoakland.com
Hi Tim,
Gotta say you have done a really great job at the Delta Theme my church is now using. I just finished setting it up. Not alot of changes from your main content and colors (sure I will tweak it later).
Thank you and God bless you for creating this blog and the themes you have created.

PS. If someone asks regarding webhosting and wordpress, I would highly recommend siteground.com. They are really great, and the 1 touch install of software and updates is the best. Plus, all of your data is backed up monthly.
