AI guidance for churches

Help your church agree how to use AI.

If staff or volunteers are using AI for church work, I can help you review what they're doing and write guidance for the team.

This can be a project of its own, or part of wider work on your church's systems and processes.

Based in the UK and focused on churches and Christian charities. If you are based elsewhere, email me to discuss the scope and any local review needed.

What this is

I'll help your team agree how it uses AI.

We'll start with how people use AI in your church, including the tools, the information they share and the decisions they need help making.

The guidance will set out what people can use AI for, what needs approval and who to ask when they are unsure.

Questions from church life

Questions your team may be asking.

Can volunteers use ChatGPT for church emails?
Can we use AI note-takers in pastoral or youth meetings?
Can sermon prep involve AI?
Can we upload prayer requests, member lists, or rota data?
Can we use AI-generated images of children or congregation members?
Who signs off new AI tools?

How it works

1

Map current AI use

We'll talk through which AI tools your staff and volunteers use, what they use them for and what questions have come up.

2

Write the guidance

I'll draft guidance that sets out permitted uses, information that should stay out of AI tools and who makes decisions about new uses.

3

Talk it through with your team

We'll walk through the guidance with your leaders, staff or volunteers and discuss how it applies to their work.

What you receive

Written guidance and a team handover.

  • AI use audit and risk notes
  • Church-specific AI policy document
  • Staff and volunteer guidance
  • Safeguarding and pastoral confidentiality boundaries
  • GDPR and data handling guidance

Best fit

For teams already using AI or considering it.

You might have questions about writing tools, meeting transcription, image generation or what information staff and volunteers should share with them.

Clear limit

This is not legal advice.

This work covers your team's internal guidance. It does not replace advice from your legal, data protection or safeguarding advisers.
