Church presentation software
Project Shepherd
The fastest, simplest way to put the right Bible passage on screen.
A church presentation tool that runs in the browser. The operator finds Bible passages, lyrics, notices and media in an Operator Console, then sends them to a separate Presentation Screen that the audience sees.
01The problem
Putting the right Bible passage on screen during a service should be fast and simple, without the complexity of traditional presentation software and without the service depending on an internet connection. Shepherd doesn’t try to replace every feature those tools have; it does this one job faster.
02The idea
Ultimately, the goal is for Shepherd to listen to the preacher and put the right passage on screen automatically. Today’s version is the foundation for that: fast typed Bible lookup, a single presentation engine that a future speech detection module can drive, and storage that keeps working offline.
03What it does
The operator works in the Operator Console and opens the Presentation Screen in its own window, placed automatically on an external display in Chromium browsers. Content is prepared in a Live Preview, and nothing reaches the audience until the operator presses Show. The two windows stay in sync, and changes on screen crossfade.
04Key features
- Bible lookup that handles ranges, abbreviations and misspellings

05Who it’s for
Churches, and specifically the operator: the person running the presentation screen during a service.
06Product status
Planned next: speech recognition and automatic detection of spoken Bible references, followed by features for teams and churches with several campuses.
