It answers event questions from your site and walks people to the signup form you already built. Honest limit: it doesn't process registrations itself — your existing forms keep that job.
Every church event has a shadow event: the two weeks of questions before it. When does it start, how much is it, is there childcare, can my kid come if she's only in fourth grade, is the deadline real. Those questions flow to whoever's name was on the flyer — and the signup link, which exists, sits three clicks away from wherever people are asking. An assistant fixes the flow problem. Honestly, here's the division of labor.
AskMyChurch answers only from your church's own website. For events, that means the event page is the script: dates, cost, audience, childcare, schedule, deadline. Someone types "how much is fall retreat and is there a sibling discount?" and gets the answer from your page, cited, at any hour, in English or Spanish automatically.
Then the handoff that matters: the assistant walks the person to the signup you already built. If your site links to the registration — whether that's a Planning Center form, a Google Form, or your website's own — the assistant surfaces that link as part of the answer. Question to signup in one motion, instead of question to inbox to reply to maybe-signup over three days.
It does not process registrations, take payments, or manage capacity. Your existing registration tool keeps that job, and that's the right architecture: registration tools are good at forms and payments, and your team already trusts the one you have. The assistant adds the layer registration tools don't have — a way for people to ask questions in plain words and get walked to the form.
It also can't answer what the page doesn't say. "Is there a vegetarian option at the men's breakfast?" gets an honest "that's not in our content" and a handoff to a person — plus, quietly, a note for you: that's a line the next event page should include. The questions the assistant can't answer are a running audit of how you write event pages.
Churches promote events in bursts — announcement, social posts, bulletin — and the questions arrive in the gaps between them, mostly at night. With an assistant on the site, the event page becomes the always-open information desk, and your promotion only has to do one job: get people curious enough to ask. Update the page when details change (they always change) — the page is what the assistant answers from, so there's no second copy of the event's facts to chase down.
Requests that need a person still reach one: the assistant routes serve signups, prayer requests, and plan-a-visit asks to the right ministry leader. And beneath every conversation, including event chatter, the hard-coded crisis check screens each message before any AI runs — in English and Spanish, routing acute distress to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), and your care team. It runs every time, even when the topic is a chili cook-off, because you never know which message is the one.
Keep your registration tool. Write event pages that actually answer the questions (cost, kids, deadline, what to bring). Put the signup link on the page. The assistant — $99, $249, or $500 a month by weekend attendance, same full product at every tier — turns those pages into answered questions and delivered signup links at the hours your office is dark. The form still takes the registration. It just stops having to be found by archaeology.
No. Registrations stay on the forms and tools you already use. The assistant answers event questions from your website and links people directly to the right signup — it's the guide, not the cashier.
Whatever the event page says: dates and times, cost, who it's for, childcare, deadlines, what to bring. If the page doesn't say, the assistant says so and hands off to a person — and you've learned what the page is missing.
Yes, in the simplest way: if your website links to the signup, the assistant can point people to that link. There's no integration to configure and nothing that can fall out of sync.
The assistant answers from your current pages. Update or retire the event page and the answers follow. A stale page is the one thing that produces stale answers — same as for human visitors.
