Exodos - Church WordPress Theme 1.6

Exodos is a specialized WordPress theme designed for churches, ministries, and religious organizations. Unlike the business-focused themes you've seen like Digee or Strix, Exodos is built to foster community, share spiritual messages, and manage congregational events.

It balances a peaceful, welcoming aesthetic with powerful tools for managing non-profit activities.

Church-Specific Functionality

Sermon Management: A robust system to upload and organize sermons. It supports Video, Audio (MP3), and PDF transcripts, allowing members to "re-watch" or "listen on the go."

Event Calendars: Dedicated layouts for weekly services, Bible study groups, and community outreach programs, often featuring "countdown timers" to the next service.

Donation System: Integrated support for plugins like GiveWP, making it easy for the congregation to give tithes or donate to specific missions securely.

Ministry Pages: Custom layouts to showcase different church departments, such as "Youth Ministry," "Choir," or "Sunday School."

Design & Atmosphere

Peaceful Visuals: The theme typically uses wide, open layouts with soft color palettes to create a sense of serenity and welcome.

Staff & Pastor Profiles: Dedicated sections to introduce the leadership team, helping new visitors feel a personal connection before they even step through the doors.

Testimonials & Stories: High-quality sections for "Life Stories" or community impact testimonials to build emotional engagement.

Organizing a Church Website Layout

Because church websites often hold a lot of information, Exodos uses a specific hierarchy to keep users from feeling overwhelmed:

The Welcome (Hero): A high-quality photo of the congregation or the sanctuary with a "New Here? Start Here" button.

Latest Sermon: A featured media player for the most recent message.

Upcoming Events: A chronological list of the week's activities.

Giving/Mission: A clear call-to-action for financial support or volunteering.

Pro-Tip for Exodos: "New Visitor" Strategy

The most important person visiting a church website is often someone who has never attended.

Use the "Plan a Visit" feature (or create a custom page) that answers practical questions: Where do I park? What should I wear? Is there childcare?

Ensure the "Sermon Archive" is filterable by topic (e.g., Faith, Family, Hope) so users can find messages relevant to their current life situation.

Are you building this for a local neighborhood church or a larger multi-campus ministry? I can help you organize the "Sermons" categories to make your archive easy to navigate.
