8 Best WordPress Themes for Churches or Non-Profits

I love WordPress. When done right, using WordPress for your website is a great choice for a CMS. Unfortunately for churches, there are not a lot of choices when it comes to beautiful church WordPress themes. I spent some time digging for quality themes churches could use, and I found 8 that stood out over what is out there. All of these are paid themes and their features very.

Have a theme you love? Share in the comments! Enjoy!

Born – $40

Ray of Light – $35

Rebirth – $35

Ezekiel – $79

Micah – $79

Charity – $50

Organic NonProfit – $69

WordPress AID – $35

    Do any of these themes include responsive design? Seems like a requirement with the prevalence of mobile devices.

    No, none of these are responsive. I’ve yet to find a good responsive church theme for WordPress.

    Me neither :>

    I went for a theme that was not a traditional church/non-profit theme and it worked great for our site. http://themeforest.net/item/modernize-flexibility-of-wordpress/1264247

    The author did a great job at making the theme very easy to use and very flexible with tons of color options, fonts, etc. It is responsive and works well on the iPhone, iPad, and Android. On the iPad it is a little zoomed in by default but that may be fixed in the next update from the author.

    Overall I am super happy with the outcome of the theme. Check out our website and see what you think: http://centralchristianocala.org/

    Hey Trevor,

    Looks great! Perfect example of finding a theme that looks good and making it work for your church!

    I launched a responsive church theme at ThemeForest last week. It’s called Risen. Would you take a look and consider adding it to your list?

    We are working with a site using the Good News WP template.

    So far it looks quite good but we will spice it up with a different slider and a better calendar as well. Oh, and it’s responsive:)
