Vestry - Church WordPress Theme 1.1.5

Vestry is a specialized, community-focused theme designed for the unique needs of Churches, Non-profits, and Religious Organizations. While your previous themes like Swift Loan focused on finance and Ducatibox on services, Vestry is built to foster connection, handle donations, and manage event-heavy calendars.

It moves away from "corporate" or "retail" vibes and focuses on a warm, welcoming, and inspirational aesthetic.

Why Vestry is the "Community Leader"

Sermon Management: This is the standout feature. Vestry includes a dedicated system to upload and organize sermons. You can host audio files, link to YouTube/Vimeo videos, and attach PDF study guides, allowing members to search by "Topic," "Speaker," or "Series."

Event & Ministry Calendars: Churches often have multiple events happening simultaneously. Vestry uses a powerful calendar system that allows users to filter by "Youth Group," "Sunday Service," or "Community Outreach."

Donations & Fundraising: It comes with integrated donation tools (often via plugins like GiveWP) that allow for one-time or recurring tithes and offerings directly through the site.

Ministry Pages: You can create dedicated sections for different groups within the community (e.g., Kids Ministry, Worship Team), each with its own staff profiles and event lists.

Modern Media Support: It is designed to handle high-resolution photography and video backgrounds, which is essential for modern "Atmospheric" worship styles.

Pro-Tip for Vestry

Leverage the "Live Stream" Feature: Many modern congregations cannot attend in person. Use Vestry’s hero section to feature a "Watch Live" button that connects to your YouTube or Facebook Live stream. This turns your website from a static brochure into a real-time gathering place for your community, no matter where they are.

Are you setting this up for a single local congregation, or is it for a larger religious organization that needs to manage multiple ministries and global missionary work?
