What it is

Church Presenter is a free, open-source presentation platform for churches, ministries, missionaries, nonprofits, and educational institutions. Schedules can combine Bible verses, songs, videos, presentations, announcements, and web pages, with up to six Bible translations displayed at once. It opens PowerPoint, Keynote, and PDF files without Microsoft Office or Apple Keynote. Android and iOS apps can control the desktop version remotely or present independently to a TV, projector, or browser. Production connections include automatic OBS Studio scene changes, upstream key control for Blackmagic ATEM switchers, and mapping actions to Stream Deck buttons through Bitfocus Companion. Attendees can submit questions by QR code for administrators to moderate, approve, display, and optionally put to a vote. The software tracks displayed songs and Bible verses and exports CCLI usage data as CSV or Excel. Most project data and presentation content remain local. Desktop use needs no account; mobile apps use anonymous crash and usage reporting. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android under the GNU GPL v3.
