First created in 2004, it has +steadily grown in features and maturity such that is it now a mainstay in +hundreds of churches around the world. + +It can hold a searchable database of song lyrics and Bible verses allowing them +to be projected instantly or saved in a pre-prepared order of service file. +Themes allow song backgrounds to be changed instantly. PowerPoint presentations, +videos and audio files can be run from within the program removing the need to +switch between different programs. Alert messages can be displayed so the +nursery or car park stewards can notify the congregation easily. Remote +capability allows the worship leader to change songs, or for alert messages to +be sent from anywhere on the network, even via a phone. + +Being free, this software can be installed on as many PC's as required, even on +the home PC's of worship leaders without additional cost. Compared to the +expensive site licenses or restrictions of commercial software we believe +OpenLP cannot be beaten for value. Still in active development by a growing +team of enthusiastic developers, features are being added all the time, meaning +the software just improves all the time. + OpenLP is an open source lyrics projection application developed specifically for churches.
