I am building a new website

Install the theme and Core, choose a homepage, and enter your own church information. Sample content is optional and only suitable for a new or empty site.

I already have a church website

Back up and test on a staging copy first. Keep sample content disabled. Leave your domain and permalink structure unchanged. If sermons are Posts, review Keep URLs; if they are already Sermons with old video fields, use Connect Videos. Do not reimport content just to change themes.
