Using OpenChurch

The OpenChurch distribution is for churches and ministries. It is a flexible platform with common features for churches that can help streamline the development of these websites.

The distribution comes with the following sub-modules:

• Events - Includes an event content, filtered by the ministry and responsive calendar.
• Gallery - Integrates with ministry content and is an easy way to manage galleries.
• Giving - Includes list display for featured charities
• Homepage Rotator - a very nice way to feature content on the homepage in a slideshow which is a very common feature on sites today.
• Ministry - this represents a church's core ministries (Missions, Youth, etc.) and integrates with other content on the site.
