94%
of pastors want guidance on how their church should use AI.
4%
have a formal AI policy in place.
79%
have neither a formal nor an informal policy.

Why this matters now
Nearly every pastor wants guidance. Very few have it.
AI showed up in church offices quietly. It drafts emails, summarizes meetings, and helps with sermon prep. That can be a gift. But without shared guidelines, good people end up guessing.
Everyone is guessing
Staff, elders, and volunteers each draw their own lines. One person avoids AI entirely. Another pastes in sensitive notes. Clear guidelines bring everyone onto the same page.
Boards need something to stand on
Church boards are asked to steward people and resources well. A written policy gives them a shared reference point and a way to revisit it as things change.
How it works
Three steps to a policy you can stand behind.
Tell us about your church
Answer a few plain questions about your church: your size, your ministries, and the convictions that guide you.
Make it your own
Review a draft policy written in clear language. Adjust anything that doesn't fit your context.
Put it into practice
Share it with your board and staff, adopt it, and revisit it as your needs grow.
Policy builder
Write a policy that sounds like your church.
The builder walks you through the questions that matter: pastoral care, privacy, preaching, communications, and children's ministry. You get a draft you can read in one sitting and explain to anyone in the pews.
