Equipping pastors to use artificial intelligence without artificial ministry. 15 self-paced modules that teach the theology, the prompting method and the workflows — for preaching, communication, administration and safeguarding — with verification built into every step.
Prefer to look first? Explore the programme or take the free assessment.
Choose the pressure you are actually under. We will point you at the right modules.
Keep exegesis, conviction and proclamation yours while AI carries the clerical load — background reading, cross-references, structure checks and rewriting for clarity.
Start with the SHEPHERD method: most poor AI output in ministry is a prompting problem, not a theology problem.
Weekly notices, series artwork, social posts, newsletters and video captions — produced faster without sounding like a machine wrote them.
Bring one real example — last Sunday's notices — and rebuild it as you work through the modules.
Rotas, meeting notes, budgets, policies and volunteer onboarding: the work that quietly consumes a ministry week.
This path ends with a 30-day implementation plan you can hand to a staff or volunteer team.
Personal data, pastoral confidentiality, copyright, youth work and a written policy your trustees can approve.
Read the church AI policy checklist first — it gives you the skeleton before the modules fill it in.
A short walkthrough of the 15 modules, the prompt vault and the three credential levels — before you commit a single evening.

Today's ministry leader may preach, teach, counsel, plan, write, communicate, manage volunteers, answer messages, build digital content and lead teams — often in the same week.
AI should not replace the pastor. It should remove unnecessary friction from the pastor's work.
AI must never replace Scripture, prayer, pastoral responsibility, spiritual discernment, human compassion, or the work of the Holy Spirit. Its only job is to remove friction — so leaders can give more of themselves to people, prayer, preaching and mission.
Self-paced units across three bands, each with teaching, a practice task, a prompt to keep, a short quiz and an assignment.
A written way of working that says where AI helps, where it must not go, and how every claim gets verified before it reaches your church.
The SHEPHERD method plus a vault of 150 ministry prompts across 10 categories, yours to keep and adapt.
A concrete plan for the month after the course, so what you learned becomes normal practice for you and your team.
The Ministry AI Accelerator is opening its doors to a pioneering group of pastors, ministry leaders, church workers and Christian communicators who believe technology should serve the mission — not replace it.
As a Founding Member, you won’t simply take a course. You’ll join the first community helping us refine, strengthen and shape a practical AI training experience built specifically for Christian ministry.
Learn how to use AI responsibly for sermon preparation, Bible study, administration, research, communication, content creation, leadership and ministry productivity — while keeping Scripture, prayer, discernment and people at the centre.
AI will influence the future of communication and leadership. The Church should understand how to use it wisely.
Ancient Truth. Modern Tools. Greater Impact.
By the end of the Accelerator you will build AI-assisted workflows that support the work while preserving your voice, judgement and theological responsibility.
Use AI to organise research questions, compare themes, surface context and structure a deeper study process.
Reduce blank-page time in sermon and teaching preparation while keeping interpretation and conviction in your hands.
Turn one core message into devotionals, emails, social posts, small-group notes and church announcements.
Draft agendas, summarise meetings, organise plans, create SOPs and streamline repetitive administrative work.
Move beyond random questions with the SHEPHERD method — a repeatable prompting framework for ministry.
Recognise hallucinations, privacy risks, theological drift and the situations where AI should not be used.
The aim is not to collect AI tricks. It is to develop a sound ministry practice you can repeat long after the course ends.
Understand the tool and the ministry principle behind the workflow.
Practise the workflow on a real ministry task, not a theoretical example.
Evaluate accuracy, theology, tone, privacy and what still requires human judgement.
Turn the useful process into a template, prompt or repeatable system.
You do not need to be technical. You need a willingness to learn, test carefully and use technology as a servant of the mission.
Reduce preparation friction while protecting theological integrity and your preaching voice.
Manage teams, programmes, discipleship, planning and communication across many responsibilities.
Work across social media, newsletters, websites, video, announcements and digital engagement.
Practical ways to protect limited time without reducing the quality of your ministry.
Serve people whose discipleship environment already includes AI, social platforms and digital culture.
Turn biblical truth into courses, teaching notes, devotionals, books and digital resources.
This course never makes AI the source of your theology, your pastoral discernment or your spiritual authority.
