+description: A free church website template for evangelical and Baptist congregations. Eight pages, self-hosted typefaces, dark mode and no external requests.
+featured: false

+
+Built around the questions a first-time visitor actually asks — what happens on a Sunday, whether to dress up, whether anyone will make them speak.
+
+## Pages
+
+New here, Sundays, Baptism, Groups, What we believe, About, Contact.
+
+## Getting started
+
+```bash
+npm install && npm run dev
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Typefaces are self-hosted and subset to the faces used, so the theme makes **no external requests at all** — no CDN, no webfont service, no analytics.
+- Dark mode follows the visitor's system setting, with a toggle.
+- Everything a church edits once — name, address, telephone, service times, giving link — lives in a single `church.config.json`, so the header, footer and structured data cannot drift apart.
+- URLs are flat (`about.html`) because the template's own runtime resolves the current nav link and its configuration from a flat path.
