AI is already in your church. Your staff is using it. Your volunteers are using it. Most churches have no policy governing any of it. That is a problem waiting to happen. This free kit gives you everything you need to put a policy in place before something goes wrong.
What Is in the Free Kit
1. Church AI Policy Template
The full policy, ready to adapt to your church’s name, values, and ministry context. Covers approved uses, prohibited uses, data privacy, and disclosure standards.
2. One-Page Policy Summary
A short, plain-language summary you can hand to staff, volunteers, and congregation members. Print and distribute at your next meeting.
3. Staff Acknowledgment Form
A simple signature form so every staff member and volunteer confirms they have read and will follow the policy. Keep a signed copy on file.
4. Rollout Plan Template
A step-by-step 4-week communication plan for introducing the policy to staff and congregation. Includes sample pulpit language and a communication checklist.
5. Starter AI Prompt Library
30 copy-and-paste prompts for sermon prep, pastoral care, communications, administration, and outreach. Organized by ministry function. Tested with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
How to Use the Kit
Step 1: Adapt the Policy Template
Open the policy template and replace placeholders with your church’s name, leadership structure, and ministry priorities. Adjust language so it reflects your theology and culture. This takes 30-60 minutes.
Step 2: Review with Leadership
Walk it through your elders or leadership team. Allow 20-30 minutes for discussion and questions. Adopt the policy by vote or consensus. Your board can adopt it in one meeting.
Step 3: Train Staff and Volunteers
Use the rollout plan to introduce the policy to staff and volunteers. Collect signed acknowledgment forms from everyone. This takes one 30-45 minute training session.
Step 4: Communicate to Your Congregation
Use the rollout plan’s sample pulpit language to introduce the policy from the pulpit. Distribute the one-page summary. Post the full policy on your website. Review annually.
Keep the policy alive
Set a calendar reminder to review the policy annually and after any meaningful change in the AI tools your church uses. A policy is useful only when leaders know it, volunteers can follow it, and people are willing to pause when a use case crosses a boundary.
