How it works
From a blank page to a full service on every screen, in three steps.
1. Write it together
Create the songs, readings and sermon slides with your team, at the same time, from wherever everyone is. Pick a theme and every slide matches.
2. Plan the service
Put the presentations in order in an event, and add a screen for the projector, the live stream or the lobby TV. Each one is just a link.
3. Present with confidence
Run the service from a laptop or phone. Every screen and every bulletin follows along, and a Bible verse or song is a few keystrokes away.
Don't take our word for it. A demo service is playing right now.
Watch it on this screen or on your phone, then change its theme, put a Bible passage or a song up, and see every screen follow — live, with no account.
Presentations & Editing
Write the whole service together, in a calm editor that stays out of your way.

-
Rich text formatting
- Headings, bold, italic, lists, tables, alignment and images, in an editor that feels like writing. Learn moreabout rich text formatting
-
Custom themes
- Start from a built-in theme or design your own with colours, fonts, background and corner images. Share it with your team so every service looks the same. Learn moreabout custom themes
-
Multiple display modes
- Show one slide at a time, scroll continuously through a reading, or set how many lines fit on each slide. Text scales with the screen it is shown on. Learn moreabout multiple display modes
-
Video slides
- Add videos to your slides, inline or full screen. Play, pause, and scrub from the controller — playback stays in sync on every connected screen. Learn moreabout video slides

Control from any device
- Drive the slides from a laptop, a tablet or a phone at the front. Arrow keys, a blank screen at a keystroke, and autoplay for the welcome loop. Learn moreabout control from any device

Share the controls
- Several people can control the same presentation at once. A tablet on the lectern shows the speaker what is on the screen, and they can take over the slides whenever they choose — while the operator at the back keeps control too. Learn moreabout share the controls
-
A timer for the speaker
- Start the optional timer and every controller shows how long the speaker has been talking, so the person at the lectern can keep an eye on the time. Learn moreabout a timer for the speaker

Why we built Chapel Screen
After many years of building PowerPoint presentations for church by hand — last-minute additions handed in on USB sticks, and edits during the service that meant taking the presentation down — we figured there had to be a better way.
Yes, there are plenty of alternatives, but most need software installed on a particular type of computer, and licences to go with it. The modern web browser can do everything those proprietary tools can, and more, because you can run the whole system from any device. Everyone involved in a service can work on it in their own time, or even make changes while the service is under way. Got a visiting speaker next week? Send them a link and they can prepare their content without installing anything.
Other pain points included always having to work to a fixed slide format, which doesn't work well on phones or other devices. And why should anyone have to turn words into slides by hand? It should be automated. Traditional tools can't handle a “church in the park” service or a baptism at the beach either. When a presentation isn't tied to one large 16:9 screen and can go to everyone's phone, you can hold church anywhere.
During the COVID years we added live-stream overlays. Because a presentation can go out on several channels at once, each formatted differently, one person can run them all live — no going back afterwards to add the song words or Bible passages to the video.
More recently we added digital bulletins, because a bulletin is mostly the same content you already put on the main screen: announcements, the Bible reading and so on. You can add information for visitors too, such as who you are and what you believe. And because the bulletin is just another channel, the same live presentation can be shown there as well. At a service in the park, anyone from the church can share the bulletin with passers-by through its QR code, so they can join in.
We have enjoyed building Chapel Screen, and it has made a real difference to how we run our own services. We hope you find it as useful as we have.
