In your church's own words, on your brand, without adding a person to staff. Members ask the way they'd text the office; it answers from what you've already published — and never makes things up.
Reference demos we built from each church's public content to show what's possible — open one and ask what a visitor would ask.
Try the three questions a generic church bot can't handle: ask it about a crisis · ask something the church hasn't taught · ask in Spanish.
Demonstrations built from public sources — these churches aren't customers or endorsers. See it built for your church →
"What time is the Christmas Eve service?" · "Is there childcare?" · "How do I get baptized?" · "Where do I park?" · "Who do I call about my mom in the hospital?"
No integration. No IT project. Your website just gets a link.
We read what you've already published — your site, sermons, ministries, beliefs, events. It knows only your church, nothing else.
Your colors, your logo, your voice. You watch it answer real questions before anyone else sees it — usually within the hour.
Bulletin, lobby screen, website nav, Instagram bio. Visitors ask; it answers; the right people get connected.
It answers only from what your church has published — and shows where every answer came from. If it can't find it, it says so, and hands them to a real person.
It will not invent doctrine, take theological positions you haven't published, or speak for your pastor. That's the question every pastor asks first — will it say something wrong in my church's name? — and the answer is built into how it works, not promised in marketing.
Built from your content alone — no open-internet knowledge to drift into.
Every answer shows where it came from, so you can check it.
If it isn't in your content, it says so and hands off — it doesn't guess.
Acute distress routes to 988 + your care team before any AI runs.
Plenty of tools will train an AI on your church's content. What sets this apart is what happens at the moment of the answer.
| When someone asks… | Most church bots | Ask Church |
|---|---|---|
| Trained on your church's own content | ✓ | ✓ |
| Shows its source on every answer | — | ✓ |
| Says "I don't know" instead of guessing | — | ✓ |
| Routes a crisis to a real person before any AI replies | — | ✓ |
| Routes prayer / serve / visit to the right ministry leader | a lead list | ✓ |
| Your people's data stays yours — never pooled into a network | varies | ✓ |
The one thing no other church AI we've found does: when someone is in real crisis, it routes to 988 and your care team before the AI ever speaks.
When a member chooses to share a need — prayer, serving, a visit — it routes them to the right person. The everyday questions stay anonymous; you just see the patterns.
"I need prayer" is received with care and routed to your prayer team — never left in a void.
Visitors ready to get involved or plan a visit are handed to the right ministry leader.
A weekly read on the top questions and the gaps to fill — drawn from anonymous questions, no names attached.
Connect your YouTube channel once and new sermons are indexed automatically — your answers never go stale.
Ask in Spanish, get an answer in Spanish — your whole congregation included, with the same crisis safety in both.
Works on what you already use — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, a custom site. A link or one embed, no rebuild.
Your sermons become answerable. A member can sit with what your church actually teaches — on grief, on doubt, on marriage — any time, in the voice they trust, with a link to the exact moment in the message.
It's the headline reason a teaching-heavy church wants this — and every church grows into it as you teach. Built with your consent and a human-approval step. See how Canon works →
An AI should never stand between a person and God.
Ask Church does the front-door work — and hands your people to a real person for anything that matters. It points them toward your church, your teaching, and each other — it never replaces them.
People for the soul. This for the logistics.
Many churches tell us they spend roughly $780/month in staff time — about 10 hours a week — answering these same questions by hand. Cancel anytime.
You approve & correct anything, anytime · Cancel anytime — your content stays yours · See it built free before you pay.
Every church that comes online makes the whole thing smarter. People church-hunting in your city can ask across local churches — and the ones who fit get pointed toward you. Answered from each church's own words, never our opinion.

"Which churches near me have a Wednesday night youth program?"
No. It answers only from your own published content and shows its source. If it can't find an answer, it tells the person and hands them to a real human — it doesn't guess. A second pass checks every answer against your content before it's sent.
Yes. The everyday assistant works from day one with whatever you've published. Canon (answering in the pastor's own words) gets richer the more you've taught — so it's something you grow into, never a requirement.
No integration and no IT project. Your site just gets a link or a QR code. It's live in about 30 minutes.
Messages signaling acute distress — in English or Spanish — route to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line, and your own pastoral care team, before any AI replies. It's hard-wired in code to run first.
Everyday questions are anonymous — no names, no accounts. Someone is only identified when they choose to share their info (a prayer request, "I want to serve," planning a visit) — and that goes to your team, not ours. We keep questions to improve answers; we don't keep identities.
Paste your website and we'll build your assistant from your own pages. You'll get a private link to try it, usually within minutes. Like it? Go live in about 30 minutes.
