AskMyChurch transcribes the sermons your church already posts, pins every passage to its minute mark, and links each answer to the moment the pastor said it.
AskMyChurch cites the exact sermon moment by transcribing the sermon recordings your church already posts, pinning every passage to its minute mark, and linking each answer to that timestamp. Ask what the pastor teaches on forgiveness and you get the pastor's own words, with a link that opens the recording at the moment they were spoken.
That is the whole feature in one sentence. The rest of this page covers why the timestamp matters, how the indexing actually works, and how coverage gets deeper the longer the assistant runs.
An AI that paraphrases a sermon is guessing, and a guess about your pastor's teaching is worse than no answer at all. A visitor asking about baptism, grief, or giving deserves what was actually preached, not a summary an AI composed on the fly.
The timestamp makes every answer checkable. Click the link, the recording opens at that minute, and you hear the pastor say it. That is the standard AskMyChurch holds itself to: answers come only from your church's own website and sermons, and when the answer isn't in those sources, it says so and offers to connect the person with someone at the church. It never invents an answer. We describe it as the front door of your church, always open — and a front door doesn't make up what's inside the house.
There is nothing new for the church to do. AskMyChurch works from what you already publish:
1. It collects the sermon recordings your church has posted publicly — for most churches, that's a YouTube channel linked from the website.
2. Each recording is transcribed, start to finish.
3. The transcript is split into passages, and every passage keeps its timestamp in the original recording.
4. When someone asks a question, the assistant finds the passages that answer it, quotes the teaching, and links to the exact minute.
Because passages stay tied to their recordings, every citation points at a real moment in a real recording. If the assistant can't point to one, it doesn't claim the pastor said it.
A church's assistant starts with the website — service times, staff, ministries, beliefs, events — plus the posted sermon recordings. From there, coverage grows in two directions.
Forward: when a new sermon is posted, it gets picked up and indexed, so recent teaching becomes part of what the assistant can quote and cite.
Backward: the back catalog gets worked through over time, so a church with years of recordings ends up with years of searchable teaching.
The practical difference shows up in specificity. Early on, the assistant is strongest on logistics — where to park, when services start, who leads the youth ministry. As indexing deepens, it can answer "what has our pastor said about anxiety?" with the actual series, the actual sermon, and the actual minute.
Two things sit in front of the AI, not behind it. If a message looks like a crisis, hard-coded routing surfaces the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line before any AI response — in English and in Spanish. And every conversation can hand off to a real person at the church; the assistant is a front door, not a replacement for your people.
Beyond crisis handling, the assistant answers in English and Spanish, matching the language of the person asking.

No. It answers only from the church's own website and sermon recordings, and every sermon answer links to the timestamp so you can hear the pastor say it. If the answer isn't in those sources, it says so and offers to connect you with a real person at the church.
It transcribes the recordings the church already posts publicly, splits each transcript into passages, and keeps every passage tied to its minute mark in the original recording. New sermons get indexed as the church posts them, and the back catalog gets worked through over time.
