This church theme for WordPress has the features a church website needs — a beautiful parallax scrolling home page. Mobile-friendly responsive design, sermon archive, church events calendar, staff profiles and church news. The sermon archive is complete with the ability for visitors to search for audio, video and text sermons by category, tag, date and speaker. Uplift has powerful customization options that make it easy to change the theme’s colors, fonts and background.
Uplift is also useful for non-church websites that need rich multimedia publishing capabilities for audio, video and photos and that want to promote events. The sermon archive can be fully renamed using the theme options, making this a WordPress theme not only for churches but also parachurch ministries, nonprofits and charities, conference websites and multimedia presentation archives.
This theme is well-documented – organized, easy to follow instructions explaining how to use its features. Additionally, a series of video guides is included and support is provided.
Mobile-friendly Responsive Design
The Uplift church theme was designed to be responsive. In other words, it is mobile-friendly and will adapt itself to fit comfortably on devices with small screens such as phones and tablets. Did we mention it’s also touch enabled! Visitors can just flick left and right for sliders and players.
Highly Customizable Colors, Fonts and Backgrounds
Uplift was made to be easy to customize to match your church branding from within the WordPress admin area. You can set a main color, link color, change fonts (600+ Google Web Fonts preloaded) and set backgrounds on the parallax home page. It is also easy to Upload Your Logo. None of this requires editing code.
Sermon Archive for Audio, Video and Text
Put your pastor’s sermons online in audio (listen online or download MP3), video (YouTube or Vimeo), online text or downloadable PDF format. This theme provides a robust multimedia archive in which sermons can be organized and browsed by category, tag, speaker, month, day and year.
Events – Church Calendar
Keep your congregation and community in the know about what will be happening by posting events to the church calendar. Events can include dates, times, address, Google Map and other information.
