A free, board-ready AI governance kit for small and rural churches. Build a responsible starting system for limited AI use without treating a tool as pastoral authority or a shortcut around privacy, safeguarding, truth, or accountable leadership.
What is inside
- A 30-day adoption plan and a practical risk-tier framework
- Ready-to-adapt policy language for permitted use, human review, boundaries, records, and annual review
- A one-page use-case intake form, testing guide, and approval record
- Clear examples of appropriate and inappropriate ministry uses
- A 20-minute staff and volunteer orientation, board adoption language, and incident-response process
Designed for real local church decisions
This 15-page kit gives pastors, board members, and ministry leaders usable language and forms: not vague principles or generic checklists. Adapt it alongside your existing safeguarding, privacy, personnel, financial, and communications practices.
Important: This resource is an operational starting point, not legal advice. Never enter private pastoral, child/youth, personnel, financial, donor, or safeguarding information into a public AI tool. When a situation is sensitive, follow your church’s established procedures and seek appropriate professional guidance.
Free to download and adapt for your local church.
From policy to practice
