WorshipPro guides — where to start

Hi! This thread lists all the WorshipPro guides, from setting up your church to running a service at the projector. Each guide is its own thread, and you can read it in a few minutes. Pick the section that fits what you do and start at the top of it.

WorshipPro in three places

One account works everywhere:

• worshippro.net in the browser — your church, people, team, songs, service plans, finances and settings. This is where you set up your church and invite people.
• The desktop app (Mac, Windows, Linux) — the presentation: projector, stage display for the musicians, the Bible on screen, lower thirds for streaming. It also works without internet.
• The iPhone, iPad and Android app — for musicians, leaders and members: lyrics, chords, sheet music, transposition, stage mode, the band click and your serving.

Setting up WorshipPro in your church

1. Your account and a new church, step by step
2. First church setup — a checklist
3. Your team in WorshipPro: invitations, church link and roles
4. Songs: songbooks, new songs and moving from another program
5. Service plans and serving rosters

You run the projector

Start with these four:

6. The desktop app: installing and first launch
7. Screens: projector, stage display and operator monitor
8. Preparing a service on the computer

Then, when you need them:

10. Songs on screen: slide split, text size, form and quick fixes
11. How slides look: themes and layout
12. The Bible on screen

17. Streaming: lower thirds for OBS, vMix and NDI
18. Sunday without internet
19. Importing from another program on the computer
20. Keyboard shortcuts, pedals and clickers — cheat sheet

You play, sing or serve

22. The app for musicians: iPhone, iPad and Android

When something doesn't work

• Known issues lists confirmed problems and how to work around them. Check it first.
• Nothing on the projector: what to check, in order helps when you're short on time.
• How to report a bug explains what to include so we can fix it quickly.

More practical advice is in Tips & workflows. Common questions are in Questions & help, and you can ask your own there.

How to read the guides

• Words in bold are the names of buttons and fields, exactly as you see them in the app.
• An arrow → means the next step, e.g. Settings → Screens.
• Keyboard shortcuts are given for Mac. On Windows and Linux, press Ctrl instead of ⌘ and Alt instead of ⌥.
• The guides describe the version from late October 2026 (desktop app 0.9.62 on Mac, 0.9.61 on Windows). If something looks different for you, let us know and we'll fix it.
