AI for Churches

This website can help congregational leaders understand the applications and ethics of using artificial intelligence (AI) in their sermons, communications, and operations. A product of the Christian marketing agency Missional Marketing, AI for Churches believes AI can enhance congregational outreach and management, but that congregations need to move at their own pace.

To support congregations looking to use AI, AI for Churches offers informational resources, a sermon app, and consulting services. The resources include reviews of various AI apps, information about AI use and ethics, and Christian perspectives on AI.
