    I am running the old "church" theme on my blog and want to upgrade to the genesis platform with a child theme.

    While I can find articles on google about the church theme going child I can't seem to find the child church theme.

    Any ideas on where it is or if there is a child theme that would work just as well for my layout? I really don't feel like putting in a lot of time to re-customize a whole new theme as it is only a hobby site.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Sincerely,
    Tanya

    There was a child theme version of Church (I used it on a site a few years back), but it was retired and replaced with Outreach, I think in 2011 or 2012.

    Not sure if there's an Outreach Pro in the works, but Outreach 2.0 would seem to be the logical replacement for you.

    I was once using the original Church theme. There was the Streamline theme that was the step up from your Church theme. Then it went to the Magazine Theme - so I would try the Magazine Pro theme.


    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.

    Thank you Summer and Anitac. I appreciate your feedback - I will try both outreach and magazine pro. 🙂
