Lumina Sanctuary

Seventh-day Adventist church media station · Windows

Everything a Sabbath service puts on screen, from one window.

One operator. The projector, the platform monitor, the choir screen, the foyer display, the phones in people's hands, and the stream going out to whoever could not come.

The Lumina Sanctuary control window, showing the live dashboard with every source as a tile

The live dashboard — every source at once, one of them LIVE, the rest showing what they would put up.

One idea, running through all of it

The congregation's screen is sacred.

Nothing the operator does while preparing should ever reach it by accident. Every panel in the app is built to that rule.

Looking up does not project

Open a hymn while another is up and it becomes Ready. Nothing on the wall moves until you press Take.

A typed passage waits

The reference resolver runs as you type and never projects. Typing "John 3:16" cannot put John, then John 3, then John 3:1 on the wall.

A pocket cannot blank the wall

Phone remotes carry per-device permissions, and Blank and Logo are hold-to-fire. Give the booth a full remote and the pastor a limited one.

One key that always works

F9 blanks the projector from anywhere in Windows, even with PowerPoint in front. First press. No hold.

What it can do

Eleven panels, one state, no second computer.

PowerPoint

Drives your existing decks live over COM — next, previous, a slide-sorter grid, and a slide editor that edits the real deck.

Scripture

Around 31,000 verses locally. Search, parallel translations, prepared reading queues, and passage-aware slide breaking.

Hymnal

All 695 hymns of the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, searchable by number, title, or a line of the words.

Your own songs

Paste or import lyrics — text, ChordPro, OpenLyrics, Word. Verse navigation, arrangements, and a CCLI record.

Video and images

Local files and YouTube, with per-file trim, volume and looping saved against the file. Trim the ragged opening once.

Music under everything

A bed that plays through a change of screen, with ducking when a video starts and per-track levelling.

Graphics over the screen

Lower thirds, tickers, notices, a giving QR code, a parent call, and lyrics laid over anything. Anchors stack, so nothing collides.

Many screens

Projector, platform, choir, foyer, and a black-background key feed for a video switcher's luma keyer.

Streaming

YouTube, Facebook, or any RTMP address, with its own three-fader sound desk. FFmpeg ships inside — no OBS.

Phones

Any phone on the Wi-Fi becomes a remote — no app to install — with per-device roles and a pointer pad.

The service itself

An order of service planned with times, walked on the day, printed for the pulpit, and duplicated for next Sabbath.

The manual, inside the app

The whole book ships in the app, searchable, working with no network, beside the panel you are asking about.

Ready and live

Every source holds two things at once.

What the congregation is looking at, and what is prepared to follow it. While a hymn is on screen you can open the next one, sit it on the right verse, and see it in the panel — the wall does not move.

Press Take when the first hymn is finished. Take is safe to press twice: a source with nothing prepared re-shows what it already has rather than blanking.

The Hymnal panel with hymn #300 Rock of Ages open and marked READY — ready, not on screen

Built for the Sabbath

Built around an Adventist week, not a generic one.

Nothing stops a congregation that meets on another day from using it. But every default and every example assumes Sabbath.

Friday prepares, Sabbath projects

The prepared scripture queue, the order of service and the media trims exist because the person setting up on Friday afternoon is rarely the person driving at 9:30.

A two-part morning

Sabbath School and the Divine Service run as one saved order, so the planned clock covers the whole morning and the platform always knows what is next.

Stable hymn numbers

The 695 hymns are fixed reference data. Hymn #108 means the same thing on every machine in the conference, and on the number called from the platform.

Next Sabbath is this Sabbath

Duplicate a saved service and you keep the structure, including the planned minutes. Most weeks are last week with two hymns changed.

The Live Stream panel, off air, with a Go live button and the four steps it opens

Broadcasting

The stream is part of the service, not a second job.

Four steps — name, picture, sound, and a look at it before anything is sent. Picture-in-picture, graphics that go out without touching the wall, three faders with meters, and a copy kept on disk.

A single line in the dock reads ON AIR · 4500 kbps · 84 from every panel, because a broadcast that stopped forty minutes ago is the failure that line exists to prevent.

Being honest about it

What it deliberately does not do.

It is not a presentation designer

It drives PowerPoint rather than replacing it, because your church already has decks and people who know how to make them.

It does not embed YouTube's pages

It sends video to them and asks them questions over their API. Live chat and post-service work happen in YouTube Studio, in a browser.

It does not run on macOS or Linux

The PowerPoint control is Windows COM. There is no plan for another platform.

Install it on Friday. Drive a service on Sabbath.

One installer, nothing to choose, no account. The Bible and the hymnal are already inside it.
