The short answer: is Shift Worship right for your church?
Shift Worship is a worship media library with motion backgrounds, stills, countdowns, mini movies and editable sermon and social templates. It's best for churches that want matching slides, screens and social posts for a series. The catch: it costs more than budget libraries, and streaming or posting its media online needs an active membership.
Who Shift Worship is for
Great for
- Churches building one sermon series look across screens, slides and social posts
- Volunteers who need a quick title graphic without opening Photoshop
- Teams with a designer who wants Photoshop and After Effects files (Pro plan)
Skip it if
- Churches on a very small media budget. A cheaper annual background library covers weekly lyric slides.
- Churches that need one countdown for Christmas. Buying a single item without a plan costs less.
How churches use Shift Worship
Sermon series package
Use one collection's title slide, lyric backgrounds and social template so the series looks the same on the screen and on Instagram.
Quick title edits
Open the Quick Editor in your browser, add the sermon title in your church's own font and download it without design software.
Wide stage screens
Download triple-wide versions for a wide LED wall or a three-screen stage instead of stretching a standard file.

Yes. New customers get 30 days with up to 50 downloads on the Media plan or 75 on Pro. The membership starts automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel first.

What's the difference between the Media and Pro plans?
Both include backgrounds, countdowns, mini movies, templates and the Quick Editor. Pro adds editable Photoshop and After Effects files and print-size PSDs.
