  Which theme would be best suited for a church? I want inviting, simple and user friendly. The option needs to have forms for prayer requests and such, take donations via Vanco, and handle live streaming via Vimeo.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi! Most of our recommended themes tend to be fairly flexible, meaning you can adjust their layout as you prefer in the Site Editor. We do also have ‘classic’ themes which are less flexible (and don’t use the Site Editor) but can also be useful!

  For the functions that you’re looking for, we do have a form block that you can use to let people send you messages via the site; it can be customized to include various different fields so you could certainly set up a form for prayer requests:

  There is an “embed” block which allows embedding Vimeo videos, however I’m not sure whether livestreaming would be the same – you may wish to test that!

  I’m not familiar with Vanco – is it a donation website with dedicated “donate to us” pages? If so, then you could certainly set up a link to your dedicated donation page in your site menu:

  Were you thinking of putting out regular news/blog posts too? If so then perhaps you may want a static “welcome” front page with the church information, and blog posts/news on another page:
