Generative AI in Parish Ministry: ChatGPT and Other Tools

Category

Changing Church/ Technology

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how we work, communicate, and plan in parish ministry. But how can AI be used faithfully and effectively in an Episcopal context?

Join us for a practical, interactive webinar exploring both the ethics and real-world applications of AI tools like ChatGPT to support church leaders in areas such as administration, pastoral care, sermon preparation, and more.

In this session, we will:

  • Introduce key AI concepts and terminology
  • Demonstrate real-life ways AI can support parish ministry
  • Explore how to shape AI-generated content to reflect Episcopal values and mission
  • Offer practical guidance and hands-on demonstrations
  • Create space for open discussion about how AI can enhance—never replace—the human touch in ministry
  • Whether you’re skeptical of AI or already experimenting with these tools, this conversation is designed to equip you with insights and practices you can bring back to your congregation.

The webinar will feature live polling, interactive demos, and a Q&A session where you’re invited to bring your questions and ideas.

We hope you’ll join us for this timely and important conversation.
