How can AI be used to enhance ministry? Or how can it be implemented in children’s ministry?

We seek to explain different types of AI tools and then how they might be used, simply as another tool, to help with different tasks. “Ministry” itself, making disciples, following Jesus, is 100% a human-to-human and human-to-God relationship.

AI is simply a tool that helps with certain tasks. AI might enable you to do some things that free up time for humans to do more ministry. Or create resources and tools that might be used in a ministry setting. We see AI in this light and will explain more in the Academy.

The invention of the printing press 575 years ago was an incredible technological innovation of its time. It opened up the ability to share the Bible in many languages and spread education. It also opened the ability to spread evil and dangerous content.
