A worship presentation app from Ekklesia Technology

Help build the worship app your volunteers deserve.

Uplift is a simple worship presentation app made for the volunteer in the booth. We've built it. Now help us finish it — and put it in churches everywhere.

The stakes

Your volunteers gave you their Sunday. Don't hand them software they have to fight.

You depend on a rotating team to run the booth every week. But the tools they're handed were built for power users — twelve menus deep to do one thing, a training calendar that never ends, and a system only one person really understands.

01 · The burnout

The one volunteer who knows the system burns out — or goes out of town.

When the whole system lives in one person's head, you're one vacation away from a very long Saturday night.

02 · The new volunteer

A new volunteer white-knuckles through the service, terrified of breaking it.

Complex software turns generosity into stress. The people who give their Sundays to serve deserve better.

03 · The congregation

A room came to worship. Tech in the way breaks the moment.

A cursor on the lyrics. A pop-up mid-sermon. Small moments that pull people out of presence — and stay with you all week.

The guide

We've been there.

Uplift is built by people who've run slides during worship, fumbled the spacebar at the wrong moment, and watched a brilliant message land softer because of a glitch. We made the app we wish we'd been able to hand our own volunteers — the simplest path from install to Sunday morning runs. Now we're asking the wider church to help us finish it.

The plan

Here's what you're building with us.

Every investment goes directly toward finishing the app, hardening it for real Sundays, and getting it into churches everywhere. Here's what that looks like in practice.

01

A tool any volunteer can learn in less than an afternoon.

Download Uplift, drag in songs, scripture, sermon slides, and media. No training calendar. No power-user manual.

02

A confident bench instead of a single point of failure.

Anyone on the rotation can step into the booth and run a flawless, distraction-free service.

03

A room that stays present with God.

A clean projector. The tech disappears so the congregation can sing, listen, and worship.

Before & after

Two Sundays. Same booth. Different software.

This is what changes when the right tool is in the booth.

Without Uplift

The booth runs on one person's memory.

  • A new volunteer needs weeks of training before they're trusted in the booth.
  • One person holds the whole system in their head — and they're tired.
  • Saturday night fighting the software instead of resting with family.
With Uplift

The team serves from peace.

  • A new volunteer steps in and runs it in an afternoon.
  • A clean projector, every Sunday — no cursor, no menus, no notifications.
  • A service that runs with confidence — and a team that serves from peace.
