## Overview

### Key benefits of Church Presenter

Free means your whole team gets it, not just the booth PC
No subscriptions, no per-seat licenses, no feature tiers. Install it on the sanctuary machine, the overflow room, the youth building and the volunteer's laptop at home who preps the service midweek. Under GPL v3, the budget conversation simply never happens — and there's no renewal that can strand you mid-season.

One app instead of five
Most churches stitch together a lyrics program, PowerPoint, a media player, a browser and a graphics tool — then pray the alt-tabs land right. Church Presenter runs songs, scripture, PPTX/Keynote/PDF, video, images, web pages, lower thirds, captions and Q\&A from a single schedule. Fewer moving parts on Sunday means fewer things to go wrong on Sunday.

Volunteers can actually run it
A guided first-run wizard gets Bibles, songs and media configured in minutes. Drag-and-drop service planning, a live preview of exactly what the audience sees, look-ahead for the next slide, and comprehensive keyboard shortcuts mean a new volunteer can be useful their first week — not their third month.

Mistakes are recoverable, not catastrophic
Autosave, crash recovery, full undo/redo and reopenable service files mean a mid-service hiccup costs you seconds, not the sermon. The stage monitor keeps the platform confident even when the booth is scrambling.

Your existing library comes with you
Imports OpenLyrics, SongPro and ChurchPresenter formats with a bundled converter, and reads PowerPoint and Keynote decks natively — including their real animations, builds and transitions — without Microsoft or Apple software installed. Switching costs you an afternoon, not a rebuild.

Grows into your broadcast setup instead of blocking it
Drive every display you own plus Blackmagic DeckLink SDI with separate fill and key, or send a transparent, OBS-ready browser source with true alpha. ATEM upstream keying fires automatically when a lower third goes live, OBS scenes follow your content type, and Stream Deck control works through Bitfocus Companion. The stream team stops asking the presentation operator for favors.

Nobody has to stand next to the computer
Phones and tablets can browse content, build the schedule and go live over your network — with desktop approval prompts and per-device allow/block lists so "remote control" never means "loss of control." Link a second instance and the overflow room or second campus mirrors the main screen automatically, with reconnect and heartbeat monitoring.

Everyone in the room can follow
Bilingual lyrics side-by-side or stacked, dual Bible translations, real-time captions with live translation, and a 14-language interface. Optional speech-to-text auto-follow puts the spoken verse on screen by itself — so the passage is up before the congregation finishes finding it.

CCLI reporting stops being a chore
Every song and verse presented is tracked automatically. Export a date-filtered CSV or Excel report when reporting season arrives instead of reconstructing six months of service orders from memory.

It puts songs, scripture, slides, video, live captions and broadcast graphics on your screens from one application — with no subscriptions, no per-seat fees and no feature tiers.\n\nSongs &amp; Lyrics\nOrganize an unlimited song library across as many songbooks as you need, indexed straight from a folder. Search by title or number with contains, starts-with, exact-match and phrase filters. Edit songs in the built-in editor, run bilingual worship with two languages side-by-side or stacked, and give your band a look-ahead view of the current and next section. Imports OpenLyrics, SongPro and ChurchPresenter formats, with a bundled converter for your existing library.\n\nBible &amp; Scripture\nPut any verse on screen in seconds across all 66 books, with dual translations, multi-verse ranges, whole-Bible search, history and a built-in Strong's Hebrew/Greek dictionary. Connect a live speech-to-text feed and Church Presenter listens for spoken references — stated outright or simply the next verse in a passage — and stages or goes live with the matching verse automatically, tiered by confidence so only clear matches jump straight to the screen.\n\nSlides &amp; Presentations\nPresent PowerPoint, Keynote and PDF files natively — no Microsoft or Apple software required. Entrance, emphasis and exit animations, per-paragraph text builds, click-step sequencing, motion paths and slide transitions all play back live. Speaker notes flow straight to your stage monitor.\n\nMedia, Graphics &amp; Canvas\nRun image slideshows with crossfade and auto-advance, play local or streaming audio and video (VLC-powered, with full transport control and audio device selection), and display animated Lottie lower thirds with reusable text presets and a built-in generator. The canvas scene compositor layers images, text, video, shapes, gradients, clocks, QR codes, live cameras, screen capture, web pages and Bible verses into a mini production switcher inside the app.\n\nLive Captions, Q&amp;A and Announcements\nCaption your service in real time from a speech-to-text server, with live translation shown as transcription, translation or both. Let the congregation submit questions by scanning a QR code, then approve, sort, queue and vote on them before anything goes live. Add on-screen announcements and countdown timers with custom colors, animations and end-of-countdown messages.\n\nStage Monitor &amp; Service Planning\nGive the platform its own confidence screen with current and next slide, clock, countdown, section labels and presenter notes in vertical, horizontal or quadrant layouts. Build services by drag-and-drop from every content type, save and reopen schedules, and rely on autosave, crash recovery, color labels, per-item notes and full undo/redo.\n\nRemote Control &amp; Integrations\nA built-in server lets phones and tablets browse content, build the schedule and go live over your network — with desktop approval prompts, per-device allow/block lists and optional API-key protection. Link a second instance so an overflow room or secondary campus mirrors whatever goes live, with automatic reconnect and heartbeat monitoring. Integrates with Blackmagic ATEM (upload lower thirds to the media pool and drive the upstream key automatically), OBS Studio (per-content-type scene switching) and Bitfocus Companion (HTTP buttons or a native Companion Satellite connection).\n\nReporting &amp; Personalization\nTrack every song and verse presented and export date-filtered CSV/Excel reports for CCLI licensing, plus usage charts over any period. The interface is available in 14 languages with 9 themes, a guided first-run wizard, comprehensive keyboard shortcuts, portable settings export/import, automatic update checks and crash recovery.\n\nReleased under the GNU GPL v3 — free to use, free to modify, free forever.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/631d1329-b6d2-45c9-b45d-f36f62e2c5fa.png","url":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2111791/church-presenter","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2111791/church-presenter#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/#organization"},"offers":{"price":"0","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Apple, Windows, Linux, Android, Platform ios"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2111791/church-presenter#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Presentation Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/582/presentation/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Church Presenter","position":3,"item":"/software/2111791/church-presenter","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
