AI is an ever-changing and developing field. We hope to give you enough tools to be useful for a long time. But we also know that more things will become possible week by week. So we aim to get you going and stretch your thinking, and also give confidence to keep learning after the Academy.

Our main goal is to help ministry leaders and practitioners of any age or culture to learn more how AI might help them in ministry and serving Jesus. The specific goal is learning together to move everyone beyond where they are now to see and learn new possibilities.

It will be difficult to understand everything if you don’t speak English, though we do have speakers in other languages who may be willing to assist.

We will also be sharing ideas for tools that do cost money. Though it is entirely optional if you want to learn about these.
