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 per computer (expandable via Network Link across multiple machines), 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 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 Renewed Vision now also offers the ProPresenter Lyric Banner, a purpose-built center-stage LED display (9'11" x 1'8", 3.9mm pixel pitch, 1,000-nit calibrated brightness) designed to bring worship lyrics front and center in any sanctuary — available for order, shipping in two boxes that two people can assemble in about two hours with step-by-step guides.^5
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 over 10,000 local gathering sites, using 16 linked screen outputs and real-time multi-language translations.^6
Version 22 is now available in public beta. Its headline addition is Cloud: teams can prepare presentations and playlists from any computer, with changes syncing in near real time and workspaces backed up, so a failed computer no longer costs a church its setup.^8 Version 22 also adds Text Animations that animate lyrics by character, word, or line, Stickers by ProContent, direct export of presentations to ProDisplay screens around the church, and an integration that imports Amazing APlay children's ministry playlists.^8 Cloud is included with every subscription.^9
