When you consider cost, there's more than mere dollars to calculate. In 2001 when I arrived at my present church we used PowerPoint. When Keynote was released we starting using that instead. Better than PowerPoint, but still COMPLETELY inflexible while a worship set is running.

We started using ProPresenter last year, and haven't looked back. While one song is moving forward my tech guy can be editing or adding lyrics. We still use Keynote for missions presentations and for my sermons; he can get those prepped and ready while the worship set is taking place. The countdown alone has to be worth something. And it plays very nicely with DVD Player and Keynote.

In my mind, the key to a church is the massive amount of volunteer labor that goes into things. This is far more the case in a small church. Keeping your volunteers motivated and productive keeps them excited and committed to serving. ProPresenter is a fantastic tool for the tech guys (and gals).
