WordPress Shortcodes for Church Websites

Church Admin adds 27 shortcodes to your WordPress website, letting you embed a member directory, sermon archive, online giving form, calendar, event booking, rota, prayer requests, and much more — without writing any code. Each shortcode works with a matching Gutenberg block if you prefer not to use shortcode syntax at all.

If you already have Church Admin installed, use the generator below to build your shortcode. If you’re new to Church Admin, download the free version from the WordPress plugin directory to get started.

Shortcode generator

Select a shortcode, configure the options, and copy the result. The generator on your own site (under Church Admin → Settings → Shortcode generator) uses your real data — member types, categories, groups — rather than the demo data shown here.
