How to give your church an AI assistant that answers from your own sermons

Ask Church indexes your church's own sermons, website, podcasts, and PDFs and answers in your church's own words, with a source link on every answer. Trained only on your content, never the open internet.

What "answers from your sermons" actually means

Most church chatbots answer from the whole internet and hope the church's website nudges them in the right direction. That's how you get a chatbot that confidently states something the pastor never said.

Ask Church works the other way around. It reads what your church has actually published — every page of your site, your sermon library (from YouTube or your podcast feed, transcribed), and any PDFs you point it at — and it answers only from that. When someone asks "what did Pastor say about anxiety," the premium Canon layer answers in the pastor's own words and links to the exact moment in the message. If the answer isn't in your content, it tells the person and hands off to a real human. It does not fill the gap with a guess.

Why grounding matters more than the model

The fear every church has about AI is simple: it will put words in our mouth. Ask Church is built to make that impossible by design, not by a polite instruction in a prompt:

Cited on every answer. The source link is part of the answer, not a footnote you have to trust.
Re-checked before it sends. A second pass verifies every answer against your own content before the person sees it.
Says "I don't know." It hands off to a person rather than inventing doctrine.
Crisis-safe first. If a message signals acute distress, it routes to 988, the Crisis Text Line, and your own care team — before any AI runs.

What it takes to set up

No integration and no IT project. Your site gets a link or a QR code. Point Ask Church at your sermon library and it builds the index. The everyday assistant works from day one; Canon (the sermon-voice layer) gets richer the more you've taught — so a church with nine sermons and a church with nine hundred both start working immediately.

Pricing

Three plans, billed monthly, each shipping the full assistant: Base $99, Growth $249, Premium $500 (which includes Canon at full depth).

Frequently asked

Does it really only use our sermons, or does it pull from the internet too?

Only your content. It is grounded in what your church has published and shows the source. It does not answer from the open internet.

We're a small church with a few sermons. Does this work for us?

Yes. The everyday assistant works from day one with whatever you've published. Canon gets richer as you teach more — it's something you grow into, never a requirement.

Can it link to the exact point in a sermon?

Yes. Canon answers in the pastor's own words and links to the exact moment in the message.

What if it doesn't know the answer?

It tells the person and hands them to a real human. It does not guess or invent an answer.
