Church Budget Got You Down? Get This Free Guide.

Working in the church (salaried or not) is a huge honor. Nothing’s better than sharing the gospel with people and teaching the truth of God’s Word.

Administration is a huge part of church ministry, and church budgeting a big part of administration—an area not everyone is skilled in.

3 Reasons for Your Church to Try Proclaim in 2019

It’s a new year, which means your church is probably rolling out new plans.

Is it safe to assume this involves trying to thin the budget, cut down on busywork, and get volunteers more engaged?

If so, consider Proclaim church presentation software, which you can get now with a free 30-day trial.

Built from the ground up for churches, it’s an affordable option that relieves staff of busywork, engages volunteers, and features discounted annual subscriptions.

That means you save energy, time, and money. Here’s how it works.

1. Save energy: work as a team

One person can only do so much until they’re doing too much—and most of it poorly.

Proclaim harnesses the full power of your team, and lets you make that team as big as you need. Automatic syncing and unlimited installs on Mac and PC means anyone can work from anywhere, anytime, on the same presentation, and at the same time. In short: maximum collaboration and flexibility.

Watch this video to get a better picture of Proclaim and how it makes teamwork easy:

2. Save time: never repeat work

Raise your hand if you’ve ever wasted precious time on the following:

  • Searching your computer for PowerPoint slides to copy and paste into a new presentation
  • Dragging slides up and down to reconfigure song or verse orders
  • Formatting font size, color, style, etc., across multiple slides
  • Typing song lyrics or searching the internet for the right version of a song

Not anymore. Proclaim eliminates this kind of busywork so you can seamlessly build your presentations and get to other tasks. And it remembers all your slides so you can pull them up and reuse them in your presentation.

It even remembers what background templates you’ve used so you can quickly add new slides that are consistent with the rest of your presentation.

3. Save money: take advantage of annual subscriptions

This one’s simple: you can save up to 44% on Proclaim with an annual subscription, and you can switch to one anytime.

Let’s say you start a free trial. That goes well, so you roll into a monthly subscription (starting as low as $19.95/mo.). After a few months, you’re confident Proclaim is right for you.

By simply switching to an annual subscription, you save 17%. If you’re a premium subscriber, your savings could reach as high as 44%.

The point is: with the simple click of a button, you could save 17–44%. This means more room in your church budget.

Start a trial

Ready to start a free trial? For a month you’ll get access to powerful, intuitive presentation software, plus Pro Media—a collection of more than 14,000 pieces of church media. There’s no credit card required, and you can cancel any time.

Take a step closer toward your church’s goals; start a 30-day free trial with Proclaim.

A Win-Win-Win Solution for Church Staff

“It needs to be affordable.”
“It needs to be professional.”
“It needs to be easy to use.”

Can it be all three?

You’ll hear statements like these when church staff debate which ministry tools to buy, especially in the beginning of the year when deciding the budget.

Some want to spring for all the bells and whistles. Some don’t. And some don’t care, so long as it’s easy to use for staff and volunteers.

When it comes to presentation software, Proclaim offers a win-win-win solution.

That’s because Proclaim is a paradox.

It’s easy to use, easy on the wallet, and yet so professional and powerful that the combination of the three seems impossible.

Here’s how Proclaim—available now with a 30-day free trial—settles the debate about what presentation software to use this year, sending everyone home happy.

1. Easy on the budget

Since it’s made for churches, it’s made to be affordable. Proclaim offers two major ways to save churches money:

Media bundles

You choose your tier. The entry-level Proclaim subscription comes with an ever-growing collection of free church media. Most is produced by professional designers at Faithlife, but we also recently launched Community Media, which means Proclaim subscribers are always adding to the collection, too. That means more free media.

But you can go two levels higher. Pro Media is a growing collection of more than 10,000 motions and stills, and Partner Media takes that number through the roof. It combines all the best church media brands into one massive but affordable bundle for churches that want nearly unlimited choices.

Annual subscriptions

This one’s pretty straightforward: save up to 44% on an annual subscription when compared to monthly. Start with a free one-month trial of Proclaim. If you like it, you get a big discount by signing on for a year.

2. Easy to look professional

Not every church can afford a designer, but with Proclaim, every church can have professional designs.

That’s because Proclaim does all the designing for you. Forget toying with fonts, spacing, and alignment. Simply type text and it instantly appears in pre-designed templates prepared by professional designers. (Though customizing slides is easy and fast if you want to go that route.)

Proclaim has a whole team of designers consistently creating new templates to keep things fresh. They even design seasonal slides, anticipating your needs for things like holidays, summer events, and fall ministry launches.

But designs are just the beginning. With Proclaim you can add live video feeds, lighting scenes, an animated on-screen Bible, and more to your presentation. Proclaim is made by Faithlife, the same people who bring you Logos Bible Software, which means it’s marked with the same power, intuitive interface, and quality.

3. Easy to share and use

Unlimited installs. Automatic syncing. Free training. Mac and PC.

Proclaim was designed for collaboration. Because it’s cloud-based, all changes save automatically in real time, so anyone can work from anywhere at anytime, and no work gets lost. And with unlimited installs across Mac or PC, literally anyone in your church can use it at no additional cost.  

Learning how to use Proclaim is easy. It’s intuitive on its own, but there are plenty of training videos and articles to consult—including videos specifically aimed at training new volunteers.

In addition, you have direct access to the actual developers of Proclaim through Faithlife.com. They’ll personally respond when you pose a question or report a bug.


Proclaim doesn’t sacrifice quality for affordability or ease of use. It holds all three together powerfully in one intuitive piece of software. So everyone wins.
