If your church has a screen, there's a good chance ProPresenter is behind it. Built by Renewed Vision — a company founded in 2000 with a mission to create world-class production tools for ministries — ProPresenter started as a side project by Brad Weston to run worship lyrics at Passion Conferences.^1 After powering visuals for 30,000 college students at the Passion One Day event in 2000, the software officially launched in 2005 and has since become the most widely used church presentation software in the world.^2
ProPresenter handles everything a worship service demands: lyrics display with automatic formatting, scripture lookup across 130+ Bible translations, sermon slides, countdown timers, video playback, and motion backgrounds — all managed from a single operator station. It supports up to 8 simultaneous screen outputs, customizable stage displays for worship leaders and speakers, broadcast-quality SDI/NDI video output, and deep integration with MIDI, DMX, and timecode for lighting and automation control.^3 The new ProPresenter Remote app (included free with every active subscription) lets team members control presentations, trigger macros, fire props, and manage timers from anywhere in the room on both iOS and Android.^4
Beyond the church walls, ProPresenter has been used at every Olympics for the past decade, at the White House, by NASA, Fox Sports, and at major conferences and sporting events worldwide — a testament to its reliability under pressure.^3 In 2025, ProPresenter powered Gather25, a global event broadcast to 193 countries with 16 simultaneous screen outputs and real-time multi-language translations — one of the most ambitious live production deployments ever attempted.^5

"I am a volunteer in my church and this program helps us in a great amount of situations, from the celebrations to the children's show or every time we need media support.
