Church is a fourteen-page church and community template for presenting ministries, written sermon reflections, gatherings and clear first-visit information.

What’s new in 3.0

• Fourteen content pages include new first-visit, events, event details, ministry details, volunteering, giving information and community article pages.
• Bootstrap 5.3.8, Swiper, PhotoSwipe and Lucide SVG icons replace jQuery plugins; fonts and runtime assets are self-hosted.
• Selected ministries, reflections, events and articles keep their content, dates, downloads and enquiry topics connected.
• A private Sunday planner, calendar reminders, reading-note downloads and a personal giving calculator support useful next steps; the giving tool does not process payments.
• Native-resolution cathedral photography, responsive AVIF with JPEG recovery and accessible gallery controls preserve the original fullscreen welcome, coral and gold identity and compact inner covers.
• Keyboard navigation, visible focus, labelled forms and readable controls accompany configurable PHP enquiries and newsletter forms with pending, error and success feedback.
• Cold full-scroll desktop homepage payload falls from 1.97 MB / 50 requests to 1.17 MB / 42 requests. Automatic external font hosts fall from two to zero.
