Artificial intelligence has arrived as a transformative tool for church ministry, with companies now creating AI platforms specifically designed for churches and nonprofits. This technology promises to free ministry leaders from administrative burdens while helping them communicate more effectively with their congregations.
• New AI platforms for churches can handle tasks from donor messaging to content creation
• These tools learn from your church's data to create personalized, on-brand communications
• AI can help with repetitive tasks like email campaigns, texting, and outreach strategies
• Some platforms claim to boost giving through personalized, data-driven appeals
• AI is simply a tool—like sound systems or livestreaming—that can either serve or distract from mission
• Start small: try using AI for email newsletters or summarizing sermon notes
• AI won't replace pastors but may help them reach more people with less burnout
