How to make a website for a church

Several of you have asked me how to make a website for a church or what templates there are for a church website or a religious theme.

In this tutorial we are going to use the Salvation template to do it.

You have the template for free at the premium zone or the you can buy here

The final result that we are going to achieve is the following:

Among the most outstanding features of this template for churches are:

  • Paypal widget to donate to the Church
  • Event Management
  • Audio player for sermons or religious messages
  • Ad Management or Adsense
  • Specialized widgets for churches
  • Section with the services offered by the Church

Here is the video tutorial:

This template is incredibly easy to set up as it comes with an installer that does almost everything for us.

The first step we have to take is to install the template.

To do this we go to Appearance –> themes –> Upload theme.

We upload it, install it and activate it.

Once done, it will take us to a screen where we will have to install the necessary plugins for our website to work correctly for a church:

plugins required salvation

We install them, activate them and go to Appearance -> Theme Options –> Import/Export

import church theme demo

We click on “Import theme options, widgets & content”

When it finishes importing we will have our entire website assembled with demo content 🙂

That easy.

The good thing about templates that come with demo content to import is that it is very easy for us to obtain the demo result.

Now, we just have to learn where to modify each part of the web.

Configure the Home on the Church website

On the main page we have the following elements:

  • slider
  • audio players
  • Services
  • Status
  • Diary
  • carousel

To activate or deactivate each of the previous options we have to go to Appearance –> Theme options –> Homepage

salvation homepage

And to modify the content of each of the sections we have to select them from the left.

The elements of the home page that are not here, such as the donation box for the church, are in the widgets:

salvation church donations

church donations widget

Add an Audio player for sermons

The audio player that appears in the home:

church audio player

The last audio we added will appear on the home page.

How do we add it? very simple, we create a new post and we only have to add an object, like when we add an image, we just select an audio and mark in "audio" format

  1. Thank you very much for this tutorial. I love the template and I'm thinking of using it for a music group because I see it light with a blog area for news, audio playback, performance calendar and reservation request, recommendation and sale of merchandising, etc. I think it's easily customizable. I don't know if there is a more appropriate theme, but this one seems very good to me.

    The only thing I see as a problem is having to upload the music to the server, which takes up a lot of space. Is there a way to make it playable from an external site, for example dropbox?

    Thank you very much, you are a crack!
