Versatile Church is a basic looking WordPress template which does not come with a lot of functions. If you want good old 20’s looking sweet and simple theme for your Church website you can pick Versatile Church. The color palette of this theme is not up to the modern standard, but you can modify it by editing the style.css file.

This theme is also not optimized properly as there are a lot of unnecessary CSS and JS files which can be removed later. On the other hand, its a good theme for link building. The theme also features a blog which gives you a pleasant and nostalgic feeling of having a blogspot blog. Overall, I think this theme is only helpful for the announcement of upcoming events.
