Five Best Presentation Software for Churches.
In today's article, I am sharing some presentation software you can use in your church to project anything ranging from Bible verses, song lyrics, videos, sermon slides, etc. Some of these software are free or paid and available for Windows MacOS and Linux, so irrespective of your budget, needs, or the OS you use you might find a presentation software that is a right fit for your church.
OPEN LP:
OpenLP is a free and open-source worship presentation program licensed under the GNU General Public License version. It includes the ability to search through lyrics for certain words, search for Bible verses in the Bible, display lyrics and Bible verses in a friendly way to the congregation, and interact with popular presentation programs to provide users with an easy way to control a presentation (with LibreOffice Impress, OpenOffice.org Impress or Microsoft PowerPoint). It also supports easy and instant switching between slides, customizable backgrounds, a song database, and supports all video formats and codecs.
VIDEO PSALM:
Video Psalm is a free and easy-to-use presentation software I recommend and even use in my local church, it enables you to easily and freely project song lyrics and Bible verses on a screen. Some of the features I love about Video Psalm are that it is very easy to use and also has a good user interface and has most of the features of most presentation software and more, you can also use it to project your camera feed and as a plus, it has various bible translations in the most common languages, including my local Yoruba Bible for free!
EASY WORSHIP:
Easy Worship is a paid and subscription-based church presentation software that provides users with a range of tools for building their entire service, including scriptures, song lyrics, announcements, sermon notes, and videos in a single place. The solution offers native iOS and Android mobile apps for monitoring and controlling services from anywhere. Easy Worship is arguably the first presentation software that most churches use but it has a downside that honestly it's not fair for churches, aside from the subscription, you also have to pay for some bible translation and the cost of all this is not convenient at all, am not trying to tell them how to run their business, but for a platform that its major aim is to help churches, having to pay big bucks for extra things like bible translation is not okay at all for most churches.
PRO PRESENTER:
Pro Presenter is another live presentation and worship application designed to help churches and schools manage and display lyrics and other media in real-time, to improve engagement with audiences. It is also another paid tool on this list that offers everything that most presentation software offers but Pro Presenter is – to me an industry standard when it comes to presentation software, but honestly, it's a bit pricy, and adding to this cost is the list of extra add-ons like Bibles and some other things you have to also pay for which will add to more cost for small churches.
MEDIA SHOUT:
Media Shout is a subscription and open-source church presentation software that enables the display of song lyrics, announcements, Bible passages, and almost any type of media file. The solution includes templates, fire buttons, social media integrations, text formatting, editor/presenter views, a sermon builder, and more.
Conclusion: There you have it, five presentation software for churches and worship centers, any of these recommended software should fit into your needs, budgets, and requirements. so ensure you check anyone that fits into your budget and also drop a comment on any other software you would like to recommend.
