WordPress-Driven Church

Why?

WordPress is the world’s favourite blogging and content management software. The fact that it is free and the easiest CMS to use makes it ideal for churches. Just take a look at the growing list of churches below. Many of my WordPress themes are also designed for churches.

Getting started

To get started, you might find my series of posts about Blogging your Church with WordPress helpful. You can always check my WordPress post category for other information about using WordPress to run your church web site.
The official WordPress site is obviously worth looking at if you have any questions.
