NigeriaAnnouncements run long
Reading ten notices from the pulpit takes time away from worship, and people remember one or two. A screen repeats them all week without taking a minute of the service.

Your notices deserve more than a folded bulletin
Every church has more to say than the service has time for. The foyer is where people pause before and after, and it is the one place almost everyone walks through.
Bulletins stay in the pew
Printed sheets cost money each week, go out of date by Wednesday and are often left behind. A screen shows the current version, and a late change never needs a reprint.
Newcomers miss what is on
Visitors do not know which room the children go to or when the next newcomers' lunch is. A clear welcome screen answers those questions before they have to ask.
From sign-up to Sunday in four steps
No installer and no contract. A church office can set up its first screen in an afternoon. The full walkthrough is on how VYPA works.
Create an account
Sign up free. Your 30-day trial covers one screen, with no card needed.
Connect a screen
Install the VYPA player on a Samsung Smart TV, Fire TV, Android or Google TV, a Raspberry Pi, or use the Web Player.
Add your slides
Upload images, video or PDF slides, or show a web page. Put them in a playlist.
Schedule the week
Sunday content on Sunday, midweek groups on weekdays. Change it from anywhere.
What you can show
A church announcement screen that keeps up with your week
VYPA plays the files you already make. If your team designs slides in Canva, PowerPoint or Keynote, save them as images or a PDF and upload them.
Service times
Show the times for every service and language, and change them for holidays or special services in advance.
Weekly announcements
Small groups, prayer meetings, baptisms and volunteer calls, each on its own slide, in a loop.
Scripture and lyrics
A verse of the week, the sermon series, or the words to a new song, as image or PDF slides.
Giving QR codes
Add the QR code from your giving provider as an image, so people can give with a phone camera.
Schedules
Set what plays by day and time. Pro adds advanced scheduling and event countdowns for conferences and camps.
Offline playback
The player stores your content, so the screen keeps playing if the building's Wi-Fi drops mid-service.
Where to put screens in a church
Start with one screen where people wait, then add more as you see what works. Each screen can play its own playlist.
Foyer and lobby
The main welcome screen. Service times, this week's events, a newcomer welcome and the giving QR code. People read it on the way in and again on the way out.
Overflow room
When the sanctuary is full, a screen in the overflow room can show the order of service, the scripture reading and notices. It helps anyone who arrived late follow along.
Fellowship hall
Upcoming dinners, volunteer rotas, the food bank drive and photos from last month's outreach. This is where people sit and talk, so slides can be a little longer.
Children's check-in
Which room each age group meets in, the week's memory verse, and a reminder of pickup procedures for parents.
Front window
A screen facing the street can show service times and a welcome to people passing by, even on weekdays when the doors are closed.
What churches put on screen
Three ideas to start with. Mix them in one playlist, or give each room its own.
In the foyer
A welcome and this week's notices
Welcome visitors, list the week's events and mark a member's milestone. It replaces the cork board nobody reads.
In the hallway
Room guide for groups and classes
Show which room holds Sunday school, the youth group, the choir practice and the prayer meeting, so newcomers find their way without asking.
At conferences
Programmes for camps and conventions
For a revival week, a convention or a women's conference, show the day's programme and a countdown to the next session on every screen at once.
One dashboard for every campus and every volunteer
Churches grow into more than one building, and the people who run the screens are often volunteers. VYPA is built for both.
Multiple campuses and parishes
Every screen, in every location, shows up in one dashboard. Send the same notice to all of them, or give each campus its own service times and events. Pro covers five screens at one flat rate. Enterprise adds unlimited screens and multi-location management for larger networks and denominations.
Easy enough for volunteers
If someone can upload a photo to social media, they can update a VYPA screen. It works from a phone or a laptop. On Enterprise, team access with role-based permissions and a content approval workflow let volunteers prepare slides while a staff member signs them off.
Last-minute changes
A snowstorm moves the evening service, or a guest speaker is confirmed on Friday. Change the slide from your phone and it updates on every screen. Pro adds emergency content override, which pushes one urgent message to all screens at once.
Canada and Nigeria
VYPA serves churches across Ontario, from the GTA and Mississauga to Brampton and Ottawa, and in Nigeria, including Lagos and Asaba. Nigerian congregations are billed in naira. See pricing for both currencies.

No ads on your screens unless you choose. A VYPA Signage account plays only what you add. Advertising runs only on screens registered with VYPA Host, a separate programme you have to join. How hosting works
A printed bulletin, or a VYPA screen
Most churches rely on a weekly bulletin and notices read from the front. Here is what changes with a screen. To see how VYPA stacks up against other signage software, visit compare VYPA.
| Task | Printed bulletin | VYPA |
|---|---|---|
| Fix a mistake | Reprint or read a correction | Change it from your phone |
| Midweek update | Waits for next Sunday | Changed any day of the week |
| Giving | A web address to type | A QR code to scan |
| Photos and video | Small and in print only | Full screen, with video |
| Several campuses | Print and deliver for each | One dashboard for all |
Questions churches ask
More answers about accounts, players and billing are in the VYPA FAQ.
How much does church digital signage cost with VYPA?
VYPA Basic is CA$10 per screen per month, or ₦5,000 in Nigeria. Pro is CA$35 per month for five screens, and Enterprise is CA$100 per month for unlimited screens. The optional Faith pack is CA$5 a month (₦3,000) for your whole account. See pricing for everything each plan includes.
Can we try it before we pay?
Yes. Every account starts with a 30-day free trial on one screen. You do not need a credit card to start.
Will ads play on our church screens?
No. A VYPA Signage account plays only the content you add. Advertising runs only on screens registered with VYPA Host, which is a separate programme you have to sign up for. If you never join, no ads appear.
Can we show song lyrics and scripture?
Yes. Save your slides from Canva, PowerPoint or Keynote as images or a PDF, upload them and put them in a playlist. VYPA plays scheduled playlists, so it suits foyer, hall and overflow screens. For lyrics that follow the band line by line during worship, keep using your live presentation software.
How do we add a giving QR code?
Get the QR code from your online giving provider, or make one that points to your giving page. Save it as an image, add it to a slide, and put that slide in your playlist. People scan it with their phone camera.
Can volunteers update the screens?
Yes. Updates work from a phone or a laptop, with no design software needed. Enterprise adds team access with role-based permissions and a content approval workflow, so volunteers can prepare slides and a staff member approves them before they go live.
We have more than one campus. Can we manage them together?
Yes. Every screen in every location appears in one dashboard. You can send the same slides to all of them or give each campus its own playlist. Pro covers five screens at a flat rate, and Enterprise covers unlimited screens with multi-location management.
What equipment do we need?
A TV and one of the players VYPA runs on: the Samsung Smart TV app, Amazon Fire TV, Android or Google TV through Google Play, a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5, or the Web Player in a browser. LG, VIDAA (Hisense) and Roku are coming. The player setup guide walks through each one.
What happens if the internet goes down during a service?
The screen keeps playing. The player stores your content and plays it offline, then picks up changes when it reconnects.
Do you work with churches in Nigeria?
Yes. VYPA serves Nigeria, including Lagos and Asaba, and bills in naira. Basic is ₦5,000 per screen per month, and the Faith pack is ₦3,000 a month.
