EpicWorship is a free, open-source church presentation software designed to project lyrics, scriptures, and multimedia elements during religious services. Developed by Philip Ekki (Giz Interactive) and community contributors on platforms like GitHub, it serves as a lightweight alternative to premium software like EasyWorship or ProPresenter. Key Features
Dual-Screen Output: Sends the full-screen presentation to a sanctuary projector or TV while keeping the control interface on the operator’s monitor.
Multimedia Integration: Supports displaying Bible verses, text slides, videos, and native Microsoft PowerPoint presentations directly within the service schedule.
Animated Backgrounds: Allows text and lyrics to overlay on top of moving or loopable video backgrounds.
Cross-Platform Performance: Built using Java, it can run on Windows, macOS, or Linux using a standard executable JAR file. Software Interface Structure The workflow relies on three core operational segments:
Creation Tab: Used to input new song lyrics, scriptures, and media files.
Scheduling Tab: Organizes items into a timeline matching the order of the church service.
Live Tab: The control room where the operator triggers slides to push them to the main screens. Current Status
While EpicWorship is still highlighted on lists of free church presentation tools, the original Java/JavaFX project is no longer under active legacy development. Developers pivoted to rebuild the system into a modern web-tech framework known as EpicWorshipNeo using React and ElectronJS.
Note: If you are looking for a musical group, “Epic Worship” is also the name of a collective contemporary Christian music group that records live worship albums.
