Church LED wall design and installation
Lyrics and scripture that are easy to read from every seat, a stage that can stay bright, and a picture that holds up on the livestream. Churchfront designs and installs LED walls for churches across the country, sized for your room and built to be run by volunteers.
The usual way
A bright wall, and the wrong one for the room
Most LED wall regrets come from buying a panel instead of designing a display. The spec sheet looks right, and then the wall meets your sightlines, your stage lighting, your camera and your ProPresenter setup.
- Pixel pitch chosen from a price list rather than from viewing distance
- A wall so bright it washes out faces on the platform and on camera
- Flicker or banding on the livestream that nobody sees in the room
- A canvas shape that fights the slides and lyrics you actually run
- Structure, power and service access left until install week
- Budget spent on LED where projection would have done the job
How we size a wall
Four decisions that matter more than the brand
Pixel pitch from viewing distance
Pitch is the spacing between pixels, and it sets both how sharp the wall looks and most of its price. We choose it from the distance to your front row and your back row, so you pay for the sharpness your seats can actually see.
Brightness for your room and your camera
A wall that is right for a daylit room is too bright for a dark one. We set brightness and color so the wall, the stage lighting and the faces on the platform all read well in the room and on the stream.
A canvas shaped for your content
Center walls, side panels, lyric banners and vertical strips can each carry their own content. We design the layout around what you run on Sunday and set up ProPresenter to drive it.
Structure, power and service access
An LED wall is heavy, draws real power and needs to be serviced. Mounting, rigging, circuits and access are engineered with the wall, not discovered on install day.
What we design and install
The wall is one part
of the video system.
An LED wall has to work with your stage lighting, your cameras, your presentation software and the volunteer running the booth. We design it as part of that system.
LED walls and panels
Center walls, side displays, lyric banners and vertical strips, sized and placed from your sightlines.
Direct-view LED at the pitch your room needs. LED video processors. Color and brightness calibration.
Mounting and structure
Walls that sit flush and square, with the structure behind them engineered and coordinated with your building.
Wall, ground and flown mounting. Structural and rigging coordination. Front or rear service access.
ProPresenter and content
Each surface can carry its own content, so lyrics, backgrounds and sermon slides land where they belong.
ProPresenter screen configuration. Multiple independent outputs. Confidence monitors for the platform.
Camera-ready video
A wall that looks great in the room can still flicker on camera. We specify and set up the wall so it holds up on the livestream too.
Panel refresh and scan rates chosen for camera. Camera and exposure coordination with the stage lighting.
Projection where it fits
LED is not always the right answer for every surface. Where projection reads just as well from the seats, we will tell you and show you what it saves.
Laser and short-throw projection. Projection surfaces and paints. Mixed LED and projection layouts.
Signal, power and control
The infrastructure behind the wall decides whether it turns on reliably every Sunday for a volunteer with one button.
Video distribution and switching. Dedicated circuits and power sequencing. Simple control for volunteers.
How a church LED wall project runs
Modeled in your room before it is ordered
Sightlines and content
We measure viewing distances and angles from every section, and look at what you put on screen each week: lyrics, scripture, sermon slides, video and IMAG.
Size, pitch and layout
The wall is placed in a 3D model of your room so leadership can see it before anyone signs off. Pitch, size and canvas layout are chosen from that model.
Engineer and price
Structure, power, signal flow and control are engineered and documented. The phase ends with one price for the design as engineered.
Install and calibrate
Our own crews mount, cable and commission the wall, then calibrate brightness and color for your room, your lighting and your cameras.
Set up and train
ProPresenter is configured for your new canvas, and your volunteers are trained on starting up, running and shutting down the system.
LED or projection
An honest answer, room by room
LED is the better choice when a room has daylight or a brightly lit stage, because a projected image washes out and an LED wall does not. It also lets your lighting team light faces properly without fighting the screen.
Projection is still the right call for some surfaces, especially side screens in darker rooms, and it can free budget for the parts of the system that matter more. We will show you both options before you decide.
The work
LED walls we have designed and installed
Faith Covenant Church of God
A center LED wall with laser projection on either side. From a seat you read three screens, and the side screens cost a fraction of two more LED walls.
Scottsboro, Alabama
Trinity Church
An LED wall replaced aging rear projection in a room full of daylight through stained glass. Before the service, it shows the church’s own windows.
Genoa City, Wisconsin
Palm City Presbyterian
An eighteen-foot LED wall in a family life center that is still a gym during the week. The wall changed where the whole room points.

Church LED wall questions
How much does a church LED wall cost?
Size and pixel pitch drive most of the cost, followed by structure, power and processing. A finer pitch than your seats need is the most common way churches overspend. We scope the wall from your room first, and pre-design ends with a Program Report that gives you budget ranges to take to your board. The fixed price comes after engineering.
What pixel pitch does a church LED wall need?
It depends on how close your nearest seats are. A common rule of thumb is about eight to ten feet of viewing distance for every millimeter of pitch, so a closer front row needs a finer pitch. We check it against your actual seating and content before recommending one.
Is an LED wall better than a projector for a church?
In rooms with daylight or bright stage lighting, usually yes, because LED stays vivid where projection washes out. In darker rooms, or for side screens, projection can read just as well for much less. Many of our rooms use both.
Will an LED wall look good on our livestream?
It can, if the wall is specified and set up with the camera in mind. Refresh rate, brightness and camera settings all affect whether the wall shows flicker or banding on the stream. We plan for it during design rather than troubleshooting it after install.
Can ProPresenter run our LED wall?
Yes. ProPresenter can drive a center wall, side screens and lyric banners as separate outputs, each with its own content. We configure it for your new layout and train your team on it.
Can an LED wall work in a traditional sanctuary?
Yes, with careful placement. In traditional rooms the design work is sizing and placing the display so it serves the congregation without competing with the architecture.
Do you install LED walls outside Florida?
Yes. We are headquartered in Melbourne, Florida and work nationally. Our own crews travel for installation and commissioning, and travel is scoped and priced in the proposal.
Let’s talk about your screens.
Tell us about your room and what you put on screen each week. We will tell you honestly what size, pitch and layout make sense, and where projection would serve you just as well.
