Publishing and podcasting sermons is a great way for churches using WordPress to reach more people. If you’re using one of our church WordPress themes then you have our Church Content plugin which makes publishing a sermon archive and podcasting sermons a piece of cake. Churches using a generic theme can choose from several sermon WordPress plugins. Let’s take a look at those options.
Creating a sermon podcast can help your church reach more people online. Our new Church Content Pro plugin makes it really easy for you to automatically syndicate your sermons via your own podcast on iTunes and Google Play. Let me show you how to set things up so that every time you publish a new sermon it goes to your podcast subscribers. New subscribers can discover you by searching with iTunes or Google Play.
Already have a podcast using Feedburner? I’ll show you how to replace your Feedburner-powered podcast with Church Content Pro so you can podcast straight from your WordPress feed to iTunes and Google Play.
A series of new features and improvements to all of our church WordPress themes has been completed. We spent the last few weeks focusing on theme updates after finishing a set of map improvements to our plugin. The new features include sermon index and child page templates for Exodus and Resurrect (from Maranatha) and an event registration button for all themes. We also updated our sample content to give you a better starting point for your church website.
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new with the themes.
