AI Assistant for Baptist Churches

AskMyChurch puts an AI assistant on your Baptist church website trained only on your own sermons and content — your words, your sources, your congregation's beliefs.

Your church's voice. Not a Baptist template.

Baptist polity is built on local church autonomy. Two Baptist churches in the same association can hold meaningfully different views on worship style, baptism age, or how the pastor preaches through a text. An AI assistant that ships with a generic Baptist summary defeats the whole point.

AskMyChurch works the other direction. It reads what your church has already published — your website, your sermon library, your PDFs, your podcasts — and answers only from that. When someone asks about your baptism process, it quotes your pastor's explanation, not a Southern Baptist Convention FAQ. When they ask about your Sunday schedule, it pulls the times from your site. When the answer is not in your content, it says so.

That is the design, not a setting you configure.

What the assistant does on your site

A visitor or member types a question at any hour. The assistant checks your indexed content, re-checks the answer against your sources before sending it, and includes the source link in the reply — not as a footnote, but as part of the answer. No guessing. No quoting from the open internet.

If your church has a deep sermon library, the Canon layer surfaces answers in the pastor's own words and links to the exact moment in the message.

When someone is ready to take a next step — plan a visit, request prayer, ask about serving — the assistant captures that and routes it to the right ministry leader. The AI does not do pastoral care. It opens the door to a real person.

Answers auto-detect language. Spanish-speaking members get responses in Spanish without any setup.

Crisis safety, before any AI

Baptist churches take care seriously. So does the assistant.

Before any AI response runs, a hard-coded check scans every message for signs of acute distress, in English and Spanish. If a message signals a crisis, the assistant responds with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), and your church's own care team. The AI does not attempt a pastoral or clinical response. That conversation goes to a human.

This is not a prompt instruction. It is a gate that runs first, every time.

Getting it on your site

There is no IT project. The assistant goes live in about 30 minutes as a link or a QR code — it works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, Framer, and Google Tag Manager. Point it at your sermon library, and it builds the index.

Everyday questions are anonymous. A visitor's name and contact information only enter the picture when they choose to share it for prayer, a visit, or serving — and that goes to your team. Vision Genesis does not train its models on your congregation's conversations.

Pricing

Plans are based on weekend attendance, not features. Every plan includes the full assistant with the Canon sermon layer.

Frequently asked

Will the assistant answer questions based on Baptist doctrine in general, or only our church's content?

Only your church's own published content. AskMyChurch does not ship with a Baptist doctrinal database or any denominational summary. If your church has published its statement of faith, your pastor's sermons, and your membership materials, the assistant draws from those. It reflects your congregation's actual beliefs and practice — not a generic tradition.

What happens if someone asks a question the assistant cannot find in our content?

It says it does not know and hands off to a real person. The assistant will not guess, pull from the open internet, or speak for your pastor on something he has not addressed in your published material.

How does the crisis gate work?

Before any AI response runs, a hard-coded check scans the message for signs of acute distress — in English and Spanish. If the message signals a crisis, the assistant immediately routes to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), and your church's care team. The AI does not respond to the crisis itself.

Can our Spanish-speaking members use the assistant?

Yes. The assistant detects language automatically and replies in English or Spanish with no configuration required.
