A paid, eight-module AI implementation course for small-church pastors and ministry leaders. This 27-page downloadable course helps a leader develop a deliberate, bounded practice for using AI in preparation and administration without treating it as a replacement for pastoral presence, discernment, or human responsibility.
What the course covers
- Theological and ethical starting points: human dignity, truthfulness, stewardship, confidentiality, and the difference between a tool and pastoral care.
- How generative AI works in practice: useful drafting and brainstorming, predictable limitations, and why a human must verify outputs.
- Church policy and implementation: questions a church should address before normalizing an AI workflow, plus a practical rollout sequence.
- Teaching and administration: bounded workflows for research, outlines, communications, meeting preparation, and recurring ministry tasks.
- Care and safety boundaries: situations that require a pastor, a trusted leader, or appropriate professional help rather than an AI system.
- A sustainable practice: a weekly review rhythm and a 30-day implementation plan.
Who it is for
Built for small and rural church leaders, especially bi-vocational pastors who need to make careful decisions with limited time. It assumes no technical background and does not endorse a particular AI vendor.
This is an educational ministry resource, not legal, privacy, employment, counseling, or theological advice for every setting. Never enter confidential pastoral, child, medical, financial, or other sensitive personal information into a public AI tool.
