Practical, ready-to-use tools — how to use AI wisely in your church, and how to get ready for what’s coming. Start small. We’ll keep adding.
You’re already being asked about AI. Most church leaders are using it — surveys put it around nine in ten — but almost none have written down how. That gap is where mistakes happen. This isn’t about chasing the newest tool. It’s about using a powerful one wisely, so it frees your people for ministry instead of quietly replacing the human touch that is the ministry.
Only about one church in ten has any written guidelines — yet most use AI every week. You don’t need a legal document; you need one clear conversation and a page everyone agrees to. Here’s a starting point — make it yours.
You don’t have to have it all figured out — just begin, in calm, before the wave. Each of these is short, usable, and free to share.
A drop-in list of first moves for a pastor or leader — pray, learn, gather a few people, and take one concrete step in each of the four areas disruption touches: provision, purpose, belonging, and hope.
A short, honest set of questions to score where your church stands today across community, discipleship, mercy, and mission — and to see the one or two places to strengthen first. Best worked through as a team.
Four ready-to-lead sessions — the moment we’re in, what history teaches, the answer machines can’t give, and how we get ready — each with Scripture, discussion questions, and a prayer.
As AI pushes people back toward the big questions, many reach for the transcendent but assemble a self-made spirituality. A short, gracious guide for engaging the seeker who is ‘not far’ — how to listen, ask honest questions, and point clearly to the Person at the center.
Two questions the AI age forces on us — how do we decide what technology to let in, and how do we stay secure when the economy gets shaky? What the Amish example offers a church: the ‘does this draw us together?’ test, and the deeper power of mutual aid.
The same technology saving you hours in the office is already reshaping your people’s jobs, income, and sense of purpose — on a scale the Church needs to be ready for. That’s the bigger call behind all of it.
