ANNOUNCED Weekly | APlay Pro: A Simpler, Stronger Way to Run Ministry Media

Running ministry on Sundays means carrying a lot at once. You’re leading volunteers, welcoming families, setting the tone for worship, and making sure everything on the screens works exactly when it should. This week’s update is about easing that load with a tool designed specifically for ministry workflows: powerful where it needs to be, simple where it matters most.

APlay Pro: Built for Your Ministry

Kids ministry leaders and tech directors have been asking for the same thing: a presentation tool that’s powerful enough for multi-screen environments, but simple enough for volunteers to run confidently.

APlay Pro is the answer.

It combines the flexibility of professional presentation software with the heart of ministry, helping you create meaningful moments without adding complexity, cost, or steep learning curves. Think: the strength of tools like ProPresenter, but built specifically for churches using APlay and designed to feel intuitive from day one.

What’s New: A Presentation Platform Designed Around How Churches Actually Work

When APlay launched earlier this year, thousands of churches adopted it for content distribution and simplicity. But lots of you told us that you need more control: multi-screen output, editable slides, and deeper flexibility without sacrificing ease of use.

So our team listened.

APlay Pro now gives churches the ability to build shows with drag-and-drop simplicity, customize slides directly inside the app, route content to multiple screens, and integrate everything already living in their APlay library. Worship, curriculum, Spanish content, and custom media all live in one place, working together seamlessly.

And because every APlay asset is cached locally, playback stays smooth (even when your church’s Wi-Fi doesn’t).

Why It Matters for Kids Ministry Leaders

In many churches, the kids ministry leader is the tech team. You’re leading worship, checking in families, prepping small groups, and running slides… all at the same time.

APlay Pro helps by:

  • Letting you build a clear, simple playlist that volunteers can run confidently
  • Making last-minute slide edits or additions fast and stress-free
  • Keeping worship and teaching moments flowing without awkward transitions
  • Eliminating buffering and media surprises
  • Allowing you to mix curriculum content, worship, and your own media effortlessly

One beta tester summed it up perfectly: “This feels too easy, almost like I’m missing a step.” That simplicity is intentional.

Why It Matters for Tech & Media Directors

For tech and media teams, reliability and flexibility are non-negotiable. APlay Pro delivers both without licensing headaches or complicated setups.

With APlay Pro, teams get:

  • Free installation on unlimited machines
  • True multi-screen routing for primary output, stage display, livestream, and more
  • Seamless integration with existing hardware and capture setups
  • Local caching for dependable playback
  • Editable templates that reduce volunteer errors and training time

For churches running kids, students, and adult services, having one free tool that works across environments is a game-changer.

Key Features at a Glance

APlay Pro includes:

  • Direct access to your full APlay media library
  • Editable slides built right into the app (no Photoshop required!)
  • Multi-screen output for rooms of any size
  • Built-in timers, countdowns, and event clocks
  • Custom folders that sync your own media automatically
  • YouTube video integration for in-service playback
  • Local caching so content plays smoothly even on weak Wi-Fi

Everything is designed to keep leaders focused on ministry moments, not media management.

When Can You Get APlay Pro?

APlay Pro is currently in beta and already being used live on Sundays by churches of all sizes. The plan is to release it publicly by January 2026.

If you’d like to try it sooner, reach out to your Customer Success representative to join the beta and start testing it in your own environment.

Why It Matters

At the end of the day, APlay Pro isn’t about better slides, it’s about better moments. When your tools work quietly in the background, leaders can lead with confidence, volunteers can serve without stress, and kids can focus on encountering Jesus.

That’s the win.
