The needs of presentation tools used in worship services are very particular. From the need to prepare lyrics to quickly importing Bible quotes, the tools used in churches must allow everyone from pastors to volunteers to collaborate, and should deliver results that help engage the church audience, from 100 to 1000 attendees.

We’ve made this list based on the most efficient tools we could find, and the ones that more accurately target the needs for worship services.

PROCLAIM ONLINE

Proclaim is by far the best church presentation builder out there. They offer an easy to use interface, truly beautiful pre-designed elements for your slides and fantastic integrations like their on-screen bible, which lets you pull verse into a slide just by typing it.

Additionally, they offer a remote app that you can use when presenting lyrics. The lyrics themselves you can pull from SongSelect (by CCLI) so you never have to type them again.

ShareFaith

Sharefaith Presenter is not for every church. It's custom built for the small-to-medium size church that works on a PC, has multiple campuses, and/or still believes that PowerPoint is of great use within the church. We redeemed PowerPoint's lack of worship capabilities by creating our own unique plugin that transforms PowerPoint into a full-fledged church presentation software. It's fast, easy and perfectly suited for a beautiful worship service.

Online Presentation Tools

More and more of the services we use on a daily basis migrate to the Cloud and presentations are not exception. There are a number of advantages when hosting a presentation on the web, from worldwide access to tracking capabilities.

I recently sat in the green room of a conference and noticed the endless struggle of copying slide presentations from flash drives, ensuring that the videos work, that the formatting didn’t go mad and that the fonts are installed in the computer. It’s extremely inefficient and we haven’t improved this process in decades.

More importantly, tracking the viewer’s activity on the slides, from the percentage of the presentation that they saw, to the amount of time spent on the slides- becomes an extremely valuable asset for investor pitch decks and for sales teams, when evaluating the real interest of their audience.

We’ve classified these presentation tools based on the way they leverage the fact that they are based on the cloud, and the functionality that they provide taking advantage of being web based.
