Church TV OS
Kids
Your curriculum, in the right room, with the leader in charge. Playlists of videos, countdowns, song lyrics and YouTube, rotated week by week.
For kids ministry, lobbies and sanctuaries
Every screen at your church, run from your phone.
Church TV OS puts your kids-room curriculum, lobby announcements and Sunday slides on the TVs you already have. Pair a TV with a six-character code, then build and schedule everything from the web, your phone or your Mac.
TV app for Fire TV and Google TV. No credit card to look around.
Three modules
One system, three jobs
Turn on the ones you need. A single TV can switch between them on a schedule, so it earns its place all week.
Signage
Announcements, pictures and videos that loop on lobby and hallway screens by themselves, on a weekly schedule. Landscape or portrait.
Slides
Decks for your services: text, songs with lyrics, pictures, video, countdowns and live streams, in themes and backgrounds that look like your church.
Screens above are from the built-in demo content.
How it works
From box to Sunday in three steps
Pair a TV
Open the app on a TV. It shows a six-character code. Type it into the dashboard, pick the room, and the TV is yours.

Build your content
Upload videos and pictures, write songs and signs, or import a PDF or PowerPoint. Do it on a computer, or from your phone or Mac.
Schedule it, then run it
Put it on the calendar. Then run the room from the TV remote or from your phone: next, back, jump, blank, even a message to the screen.
Remote control
Run the room from where you're standing
No more walking to the front to press a button. Open the app on your phone or Mac and you are holding the remote for any screen.
- Next and back, or jump straight to any slide in the list
- Blank the screen without stopping what is playing
- Play a deck or playlist right now, for an hour or until you stop it
- Send a short message across one screen or several
- See which screens are online and what each is showing
New ยท AI assistant
Or just ask Claude to do it
Connect Claude to your account and schedule signage, build Kids playlists and slide decks, or add a song from pasted lyrics, in plain words.
- "Put this graphic on the Gym TV every Friday night"
- "Here are the lyrics, make Sunday's deck"
- Every change is previewed first and can be undone
What's on the lobby TVs this Sunday?
Lobby TV plays "Sunday morning" from 8:30 to 12:30, then the lobby loop. The portrait screen holds the wayfinding sign all day.
More than one campus
Built for the whole team, not just one tech person
Give each person exactly what they need and nothing more.
- Multiple campuses and rooms. Sites, with locations like Nursery, Lobby and Auditorium.
- Roles and permissions. Owner, admin, editor and operator. An operator can run the slides on Sunday without being able to change anything.
- Access by module and campus. A volunteer can manage just the kids rooms at one campus.
- Your branding. Your logo and colours on the TV, per church.
- Offline alerts. Know when a screen drops off the network.

TVs download what is scheduled ahead of time and keep playing from saved content if the internet drops.
Questions, answered plainly
What TV hardware do I need?
A Fire TV device, or a Google TV / Android TV device, plugged into the TV. Church TV OS runs as an app on it. Newer Fire TV sticks that run Amazon's Vega OS cannot run it.
What happens if the internet goes down on Sunday?
The TV downloads what is scheduled ahead of time, so it keeps playing from saved content. It catches up when the connection returns.
Can volunteers run things without being able to break them?
Yes. The operator role can use the remote (next, back, blank, play now, messages) but cannot edit playlists, decks, schedules or screens. Editors can change content for just the modules and campuses you choose.
Can I bring in my existing PowerPoint or PDF?
Yes. PDF pages become full-screen picture slides that keep your layout exactly. PowerPoint slides become editable text slides with your notes, and slides that are only a picture stay pictures. Animations and video effects are not carried over, so for the exact look, export from PowerPoint to PDF first.
Does it handle song lyrics?
Yes. You keep a song library for your church, the words are split into slides for you, and you set the order (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge). Kids and Slides share the same library. You add the lyrics you are licensed to use.
Can one TV do different jobs on different days?
Yes. For example, Signage Monday to Saturday and Kids on Sunday morning, set on a weekly schedule for that screen.
Is our content kept separate from other churches?
Yes. Everything belongs to your church, and nothing is shared between churches. Read the privacy policy for details.
How much does it cost?
Every new church can start with a free trial. Simple pricing, per module and per TV, is coming. We have not set the numbers yet, and we would like to hear what your church needs first. See the pricing page.
Can I try it without a TV?
You can create a free account and explore the dashboard right away. The TV app also has a built-in demo mode that needs no account, so you can see what a screen looks like.

Start a free trial, pair a TV, and put your first slide up. If you get stuck, we are a short email away.
