Using AI Tools in the Church

In today’s rapidly evolving world, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries and everyday life — and the Church is no exception. But what role should AI play within our faith communities? Based on insights from Jason’s Amazon bestselling book, AI and the Church: A Clear Guide for the Curious and Courageous, this training offers a balanced, thoughtful approach to understanding and implementing AI in ministry.

Whether you're intrigued by the potential of AI, already convinced of its value, or deeply skeptical, this session is designed with you in mind. We’ll cover:

• What AI Really Is: Cutting through the hype to build a solid understanding of AI and its relevance to the Church.
• Best and Worst Practices: Practical guidance on how AI can enhance ministry work — and cautions against common pitfalls.
• Biblical Foundations: Grounding our conversation in scripture, we’ll explore how scripture informs our approach to using AI.
• Ethical Considerations: Navigating questions of responsibility, transparency, and compassion in a digital age.
• AI Tools for Ministry: A hands-on look at some of the most effective tools available to support worship, outreach, administration, and community building.

If you’re wondering where the lines are that we should not be crossing, this event is for you. Questions like: should AI write my sermon or ordination paper, do I still need a team if I have AI, and is this going to take over my job will all be covered in depth. We’ll root our time together in Wesleyan principles for proper use of AI.

Whether you're excited, hesitant, or somewhere in between, this training invites you to approach AI thoughtfully, asking how it can serve the Church in meaningful and ethical ways. Join AI expert, author, and consultant Jason Moore in exploring the possibilities and limits of this powerful technology as we seek to discern the faithful path forward together.
