What is BibleSlides?
See what BibleSlides is — Scripture slides, notes in the same document, and presenting from a tablet.

How to present on screen and connect a tablet
Present fullscreen on the projector, use Practice mode, and connect an iPad or Android tablet as your stage remote.

How to Create a Bible Slide (Verse, Map, Photo)
Create a bible slide for teaching — Bible Verse, maps, photos, and more. Pick the type that matches the point.
Security messages on the tablet — keep alerts off the house screen
Give your church security team a private link to message the speaker during the sermon. Presets and urgency levels land on the tablet — never on the projector — with Acknowledge so they know you saw it.
When a flat photo isn’t enough — 3D Models of biblical sites
Add a 3D Models slide in BibleSlides — choose Masada, first-century Jerusalem, Qumran, Egypt artifacts, and more — then orbit, label, and step camera angles so the room sees the place, not a screenshot.

Free church presentation software for Bible teaching (not just lyrics)
Compare free lyric tools with free Bible teaching slides — and see what BibleSlides includes on Free, plus the 30-day Premium trial.

Advance the teaching deck from a Stream Deck — BibleSlides Present
Use the BibleSlides Present Stream Deck plugin to step verses, open on-the-fly tools, and run timers while notes stay on the tablet — a hardware remote for the sermon, not for lyrics.

Polls, quizzes, and Q&A on the projector — Audience Interaction
Add an Audience Interaction slide in BibleSlides — Poll, Quiz, Rating, or Q&A — then let the room answer by phone QR while you open, close, and reveal from the tablet.
Put chronology on the projector — Timelines for Paul, kings, and the life of Christ
Choose a Timeline in BibleSlides — Life of Christ, Timeline of Paul, Period of the Kings, or Nativity Chronology — then spotlight events as stepped sermon slides so the room sees the when, not only the verse.

When AV runs the house screen — publish on your booth URL
Campus booth URL: one permanent link for the tech booth or ProPresenter Web fill. Publish this week’s teaching deck; they open the URL with no login — the house stays on Scripture.

When a sketch serves better than a slide — Board from the tablet
Open Board from the tablet to sketch a diagram or outline on the projector. The ink is live and session-scoped — BibleSlides does not save it into the sermon document.

Preach when the Wi‑Fi drops — offline tablet sermon slides
Make Sunday’s deck available offline, open it from Projects without a network, and tap Use offline on the tablet when projector sync stalls — so notes and slides stay with you.

Teach the verse that wasn’t in the deck — On the fly from the tablet
When Q&A or the text takes you off your outline, open Bible, maps, photos, Timeline, or Board from the tablet without rebuilding the deck — the projector stays clean.

Import PowerPoint into BibleSlides — keep speaker notes, convert or keep as pictures
Bring an existing .pptx into BibleSlides: import every slide as an image for layout fidelity, or convert outline/quote/picture slides one at a time — with speaker notes under each slide for Sunday.

Bible teacher software for pastors — Scripture on screen, not another lyric tool
Verse-by-verse slides, notes in the same document, and tablet stage control — bible teacher software and pastor teaching software for the sermon, not the song list.
