The room

One clock everyone can see

In a live service, time is shared. The worship team, the person making announcements, and the preacher all need the same clock. A phone under the lectern helps almost nobody.

  • The preacher can see it

    Confidence monitor, side screen, or stage display. Not a phone under the lectern.

  • The tech desk runs it

    Controller on a laptop, tablet, or phone. Scan the QR on the stage screen.

  • The sermon gets a fair warning

    Amber at 5:00 left. Red at 1:00. Fair warning on the monitor.

One screen shows the timer. Another runs the service.

The rundown

A full service, already cued

Open the Church Service Timer and you already have a service: welcome, worship, sermon warnings, response, and close. The sermon block is the one that most needs to be seen.

  2. 3:00Announcements
  3. 25:00Sermon
  4. 5:00Response

Open this rundown

Make it your rundown, then save it

Fifteen minutes of opening worship and a 25-minute sermon is a common shape. Yours may differ. Shorten announcements, lengthen the sermon, turn response into prayer or a song, rewrite the welcome. On Premium, save the version you actually run so the next service starts from a known setup.

Live in three steps

Open a display. Scan. Go.

Volunteers can run it. Any modern browser. The screens you already have.
