    Hello, all.

    I'm part of a team that's using WordPress to build a church website. We chose it because of the interface, because there will be a lot of not-so-web-savvy contributors later on. We were also encouraged by from ithemes and churchcommunicationspro.

    I need to know, would it be possible to do something like this? We'd like certain pages to display some unchanging content alongside a space that's updated with posts from certain categories, like in this image:

    Hey Kapa,

    I have extensive knowledge in building church websites using wordpress and would be glad to help you with any current or future issues. Send me an email at churchthemer[at]gmail[dot]com if you want.

    To answer your specific question, yes, this is totally possible. You will make a custom page template, and update the pages static content through the wordpress backend while using one or more custom wordpress queries to add the dynamic sections to the pages template code. In short your page template will have at least 2 loops. One that displays the pages static content from the wordpress backend and one that displays post content dynamically. If you would like detailed instructions let me know. I'm here to help.
