Sermon slides for church screens
A sermon slide is a widescreen graphic with one thing to read: a series title, a scripture, or a single line. It is not a flyer squeezed onto a screen. Fast Ministry Graphics makes that slide from a sentence and exports a PNG you drop into the presentation software you already use.

Where it gets used
Lobby TVs, the projector behind the preacher, a stream lower-third, and the holding slide before the message. People read it from across a room, often while someone is talking.
What to put on it
- Series title or sermon title, spelled the way you want it said.
- One scripture reference, or one short line — not both fighting for the same space.
- The mood: quiet, bold, photographic, illustrated.
What to leave off
Service times, street addresses, and a stack of announcements belong on a flyer or a bulletin, not on the sermon slide. If the slide needs a paragraph, it is the wrong format.
Export size
The default sermon slide exports at 1536 × 864 pixels (16:9). That is the right shape for HD screens and most presentation software. If you are printing the same art, switch to a real page size instead of using this screen file.

Questions
Will this replace ProPresenter or Keynote?
No. You get a finished PNG. You place that image in whatever software already runs your screens.
How many words should a sermon slide have?
A title plus one short line. If you need the outline, make a second slide rather than shrinking the type.
