What Makes Proclaim Different?
Generic slide tools can create presentations. But only Proclaim was designed from the ground up for the unique way churches prepare and run services together.
Cloud-Based Collaboration
Your pastor, worship leader, and volunteers can all build the service from their own computers. Changes sync automatically. PowerPoint has basic cloud sharing but no church-specific collaboration; Google Slides lacks church-specific tools.
Instant Lyric Import
Type a song title and import CCLI-licensed lyrics in seconds — typo-free and fully editable. Neither PowerPoint nor Google Slides has a worship song database.
60+ Bible Translations
Look up any verse and create a beautiful Scripture slide in seconds. Choose from over 50 free Bible translations — no copy-pasting from a browser tab.
Pre-Made Service Layouts
Start with a complete service template — welcome, worship, sermon, offering, closing — and customize from there. No more building every Sunday from a blank slide deck.
Built-In Podcasting
Record, produce, and publish your sermons as a podcast directly from Proclaim. No separate recording software, editing tools, or podcast hosting required.
7-Day Phone Support
Our team answers the phone every day of the week — including Sunday mornings when you need help most. Call (888) 634-2038 anytime.

Switching from PowerPoint or Google Slides?
Here's what churches ask most when considering the move.
-
Yes. Proclaim can import PowerPoint files directly. Your slides, text, and media come through — though Proclaim will use its own transition engine and give you access to far more church-specific tools. Learn more about importing
-
Google Slides is a great collaboration tool — but it wasn't built for worship. It doesn't have a song database, CCLI reporting, Bible translations, multiscreen output, confidence monitors, motion backgrounds, or any of the church-specific tools that Proclaim provides. With Proclaim, you get cloud collaboration plus everything you need for a worship service.
-
Having PowerPoint is great for business presentations — but building a church service from scratch every week in PowerPoint means manually typing lyrics, copy-pasting Scripture, creating motion backgrounds, and managing multiple files. Proclaim automates all of that with instant lyric import, 60+ Bible translations, pre-made service layouts, and cloud sync so your whole team can collaborate.
-
Proclaim was designed with exactly that situation in mind. Quick Screens let volunteers handle last-minute changes with just a click — no training required. The Order of Service view lays out the entire flow so your operator just follows along. Auto-populated lyrics mean less manual typing and fewer mistakes. It's actually simpler than PowerPoint for running a service.
-
Yes. Proclaim supports NDI and SDI output for professional broadcast workflows, plus alpha keying for overlay graphics. It also includes built-in recording and podcast publishing. Neither PowerPoint nor Google Slides offers any broadcast or streaming features.
-
Absolutely. Proclaim offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. That gives your whole team time to build a service, run through it on Sunday, and see how it feels before you decide. Start your free trial
-
Proclaim's support team is available by phone 7 days a week — including Sundays. Call (888) 634-2038 and talk to a real person. Good luck reaching Microsoft or Google by phone on a Sunday morning.
