About this plugin
Small churches need the same four things on their website every week — a sermon archive, a podcast, a livestream page, and events — and usually have to stitch together three to five plugins (or buy into a theme ecosystem) to get them.
PulpitKit does all four in one free plugin, with any WordPress theme:
- Sermon library — Sermons with series, speakers, topics, scripture references, audio (upload or URL), video (YouTube/Vimeo), and sermon-notes/bulletin PDFs.
- Podcast feed, free — Every sermon with audio automatically appears in an Apple Podcasts / Spotify compatible RSS feed, with cover artwork, author, and category settings. (Other church plugins charge extra for podcasting — PulpitKit doesn’t.)
- Recurring events, free — Weekly, every-2-weeks, monthly, and “nth weekday” (2nd Sunday) events with automatic upcoming-events lists. (Also free here.)
- Livestream panel — Embeds your YouTube or Facebook stream and knows your service schedule: it shows a “Live Now” state during services and the next service time the rest of the week.
- Works with ANY theme — Sermons, events, and the livestream panel display through shortcodes or blocks with their own built-in styling. No compatible-theme purchase required.
Switching from Sermon Manager? org in December 2025 and no longer receives updates. PulpitKit’s one-click importer (Tools → PulpitKit Import) copies your Sermon Manager sermons — series, speakers, topics, scripture, dates, audio, video, and notes — into PulpitKit and reports exactly what was imported.
Your originals are never modified, and re-running the importer never creates duplicates. A generic CSV importer is included as a fallback for other sources.
Shortcodes
