Priority : Church WordPress theme

Priority : Church WordPress Theme

Church and Events is a very flexible and bendy WordPress theme especially designed for Churches, charitable organizations, religious communities and events. Fully responsive and Retina-ready, the theme layout can easily fit any screen. Thanks to the Drag and Drop Page Builder, site creation has been greatly simplified. You only need to drag elements across the screen, in order to reorganize them. It’s that simple.

Church supports the popular WooCommerce plugin. This allows site owners to establish their own online stores. In addition, your page can be translated into any language due to the inclusion of the WPML multilingual plugin. If any issues arise, do not hesitate to consult the support forum. The topics are very informative, and the community is quite friendly.
