ProPresenter is the industry standard for church presentation software. If a church uses something other than PowerPoint, it's most likely ProPresenter. That's not to say that it's perfect. As with most things, there is always room for improvement. Nowhere is that more obvious than in the implementation of ProPresenter 6 for Windows.

Creating custom church videos was out of reach for most churches in the past. Today, things are quite different because the cost of cameras, talent, and technology have decreased. This is good news for the Church. A research from Cisco shows that by 2019, video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer internet traffic, up from 67% in 2014.

Easter is just around the corner. This is one of the most important seasons for churches and a time when members, guests, and visitors especially look forward to enjoying the comforting and lively holiday music. It is extremely important that the church sound system is at its best at Easter.

Over the last two decades, congregations have engaged in worship through added visual elements during services.  Eyes that once were focused down on a hymnal are now more often looking up at wall-projected content.  Lately, many churches have decided to take this a step further by installing LED video walls in their sanctuaries.  These video walls enable church leaders to share customized videos, images, and text (such as worship lyrics or scripture), live feeds, and other content.

One small piece of equipment that can have a huge impact on the quality of sound on the worship platform is the in-ear monitor.  In-ear monitors can reduce stage volume and provide precise monitoring for individual mixes.

Everywhere you look, churches are ditching projectors for either TVs or LED walls to use for their church displays. These share one important advantage over projectors that make them attractive to churches: They are bright and they don’t require regular lamp changes, which often cost hundreds of dollars or more.

Technology plays a vital role in the modern church, and "smart" technology is starting to transform how church buildings and facilities are managed. Smart church building technology also supports and provides new levels of church security which is a welcome benefit.

Pastors, choirs, musicians and guest speakers rely on a quality sound system to clearly carry and broadcast their messages during services and events. Technical skill is required to set up, maintain, and run church sound systems, as well as troubleshoot any glitches that might occur. Live sound environments like Sunday morning worship can present a multitude of challenges and issues that require a quick response. So what happens when something goes wrong?
