Church WordPress Theme

A WordPress Theme Made for Giving – Sacredia 

Sacredia was built to help churches use digital technology to spread The Word. It conveys the message of faith, hope, and the power of giving by establishing a genuine connection between churches and their congregation members. Simply put, the purpose of this theme is to help churches increase their revenue. This is made possible through donation, tithe, membership, and advertising opportunities that are part of an ecosystem that generates evergreen, passive income. Built by the award-winning web development agency Slide Sigma, every feature included in Sacredia helps churches compete in a digital environment that constantly evolves and transforms, just like their members.

• Have you had trouble raising online funds for your church?
• Do you want to foster an online environment where your congregation members feel part of a community?
• Are you unfamiliar with online tools to grow your membership and donation strategy, and need support to get started?

Sacredia offers solutions to these and many other challenges because it was specifically developed to help overcome the obstacles that churches often face when they want to make a digital impact.

Built to Overcome the Real Funding Challenges that Churches Face

How Can Sacredia Help Churches Gain Revenue?

Sacredia includes powerful features that were built to overcome the funding challenges that churches face, and to help them reach and establish a connection with their congregants online. The theme includes several features that help make the process of increasing church revenue easier. Although the common assumption is that donations are the best way for a church to increase funds digitally, nowadays there are different methods that can make as much of, if not a bigger impact. Sacredia helps churches increase their revenue not only through donations, but also through:

1. 1. Membership Options
   2. Customized Church Shop
   3. Ad-sense Revenue
   4. Advertising Opportunities

Sacredia does have a donation portal, and its powered by GIve, a platform that optimizes the donation experience and is geared towards maximizing donations. The other features mentioned above however, have the potential to earn the church thousands of dollars in passive income on a monthly basis.

Membership Options

Having digital memberships on a church’s online platform can generate solid monthly income. Sacredia comes with paid and free membership options that are fully customizable, allowing churches to offer exclusive insights or services for paying members. For example, these members may receive an exclusive weekly newsletter from the church or are granted access to certain events and receive a discount. Memberships are one route that churches can take to both build an active and engaged online community and to help increase funding through automated payments. It’s simple to establish membership options using Sacredia, but there are video tutorials and articles in its documentation that can help users set them up if they’re having any trouble.

Customized Church Shop

The shop features in Sacredia isn’t just an online shop to sell the church’s products, it can and should be used for affiliate marketing. What this means is that churches can use the shop to sell items that are provided by third-party vendors, and they make money from every sale that comes through the shop. Churches do not have to own stock, ship items, or actively sell a physical product. For example, if a shop on Amazon sells church-themed items like books, t-shirts, religious paintings, or any other item that can be used by members, these products are featured in the church shop, and the church can generate revenue the more people buy those products if they come through the website.  

Ad-sense Revenue

Churches with large congregations and an active online presence can greatly benefit from advertising on their website. Sacredia theme is compatible with Google AdSense and offer users the option of linking their Google AdSense account to the website without any coding knowledge. Selling ad space on the website can be very profitable for your church, here’s an example of what to expect in revue from Google AdSense.

Ad-sense Example

Here’s an example of how this works, based on some reasonable assumptions.

• • Revenue goal per day= $10 a day

• • Cost per click = 30 cents per click

• • Average pages/session = 1.5

• • Percent of visitors without ad block = 70%

• Average click through rate = 2%

Calculation breakdown as follows:

1. 1. Convert the revenue goal ($10) into cents: 1,000
   2. Divide the number of cents (1,000) by the average cost per click (30); this will help you identify how many clicks you need to get your desired revenue: 33
   3. Divide the number of clicks  (33) by average page click through rate (2% — 0.02) the percent of visitors without ad block (70% — 0.7); this will help you identify how many page views you need: 2,381
   4. Divide this number (2,381) by the average number of pages/session (1.5) = 1,587 visitors
   5. Result total number of visitors that you need to earn your revenue ($10) = 1,587

Advertising Opportunities

For advertising opportunities, churches can place an ad for a local business on a page (or many!) on their site, and the business pays them for that ad space based on the number of visitors, or traffic, that their website has. Users do not have to manually find these local businesses to sell them ad space. All they need to do is make it known that they have ad space available, through platforms such as buyandsellads.com, and those ads are automatically placed on the website. The more traffic the website has, the more money churches can make as a passive form of income simply by leveraging their traffic and using the numbers wisely.

Real People, Relevant Features, Constant Evolution

Sacredia is a theme built by a passionate network of creatives, with the input of real congregants and active pastors. During its development phase, Slide Sigma’s team travelled between the East and West coast over a period of four months to get to the core of the problems that churches faced in the digital world. The input from these key people was the main driving force behind the creation of Sacredia, because with the many different options available in the market, it needed to make an impact and have powerful, relevant features.   Today, Sacredia is still managed by Slide Sigma, and is consistently updated and improved to keep churches up-to-date with the trends of their congregants, and to meet their constantly evolving needs.

• YouTube Livestream
• Fantastic Design and Functionality
• Thorough Documentation and Outstanding Support

Personalized Admin and User Dashboard

Sacredia’s personalized admin and user dashboard is an excellent way for admins and members to connect to the church and other members, while maintaining privacy and confidentiality. The admin and user dashboards differ in terms of what the user can view. For example, only the admin or pastor can see where members are concentrated around the church by means of a map. This map is automatically updated based on the address that the members input through their accounts. Additionally, admins can also view:

• The last time a member signed in and was active on the website
• If a person has a free or paid membership
• User invoices and total number of subscriptions
• The total donation amount paid by the member

Members of the congregation also have their own personalized experience on Sacredia, and this helps them establish a connection to the site. Even if memberships are free, users still have access to their own dashboard. When members sign into the dashboard, they are able to:

• • Update or change their profile information
  • Invite new members
  • Request a prayer from members
  • View their Wishlist from the shop

Livestream Sermons Via YouTube

Sacredia’s livestream option allows churches to livestream their service via YouTube. That way, members who are unable to attend church physically can still stay connected to the church and the congregation wherever they happen to be. These videos are also saved after the service has ended, so users can always go back and watch a video if they weren’t able to see it live.

Fantastic Design and Functionality

Sacredia is updated frequently, and is a high-quality, fully-functional theme. It’s easy to use even for those that don’t have coding experience. Users can customize the theme with the following features:

• Page Builder by WPBakery
