Preparation for Graphics Operators

Running lyrics and graphics for a church service is much more than just advancing slides—it plays a crucial role in leading worship. As a graphics operator, you’re helping facilitate worship by ensuring lyrics are on screen at the right moments, allowing the congregation to follow along. Being effective in this role requires preparation in three key areas:

• Know Your Role – Recognizing the importance of your position in supporting the worship experience helps you approach it with the right mindset.

• Know Your System – Whether using ProPresenter, Easy Worship, or another software, familiarity with the tools ensures smooth operation on Sunday morning.

• Know Your Content – Understanding the service order, song selections, and arrangements helps prevent last-minute scrambling and ensures seamless transitions during worship.

By mastering these elements, you can serve your church effectively and eliminate distractions, allowing the focus to remain on worship.
