Roll it out with one 30-second Sunday mention, one bulletin blurb, and the honest line: it answers from our own site and sermons and hands you to a person.
Roll out AskMyChurch with a 30-second Sunday mention, a short bulletin blurb, and one honest sentence: it answers from our own website and sermons, and it hands you to a real person whenever you want one. That is the whole playbook — the rest of this page gives you the exact words and what to expect in week one.
Give your staff a week with it before the congregation does. Ask it the questions people actually call the office about: service times, kids check-in, how to join a group, what the pastor said about forgiveness three Sundays ago. AskMyChurch answers only from your church's website and your sermons — nothing else — so if an answer comes back wrong or missing, the fix is usually a stale page on your site, not the tool. The 30-day free trial exists for exactly this. Announce nothing until you've watched it answer well for a week.
Don't build a sermon illustration around it. Don't say "artificial intelligence" from the stage if that word makes your congregation nervous. Say something like this:
"We've added something to our website. If you have a question — service times, kids ministry, something I said in a sermon — you can ask it any time, day or night, in English or Spanish, and it answers from our own website and sermons. And if you'd rather talk to a person, it hands you straight to one. It's on the site now. Try it this week."
Thirty seconds. Then move on. The people who need it will find it.
Paste this into the bulletin or the weekly email and edit to taste:
"Have a question? Ask it on our website — any hour, English or Spanish. It answers only from our own site and sermons, can link you to the exact minute in a message, and connects you with a real person whenever you want one."
That's the whole ask. One mention, one blurb. You don't need a campaign.
The sentence that disarms skeptics is the humble one: it hands you to a person. Lead with it every time. AskMyChurch is built as the front door of your church, always open — not a replacement for the people inside. It never invents answers; when something isn't on your website or in your sermons, it says so and points to your staff instead of guessing.
Tell your leaders the safety piece plainly, even if it never comes up from the pulpit: if someone types something that signals a crisis, hard-coded routing puts 988 and the Crisis Text Line first — in English and in Spanish — before any AI response. That is not a setting someone can forget to turn on. It's built in.
"Is this replacing the office?" No. It answers the questions the office already answers by phone, at hours the office isn't open, and it hands anyone who asks to a real person.
"Where do the answers come from?" Only your church's website and sermons. Sermon answers link to the exact minute in the video, so people can hear the pastor say it rather than take a summary's word for it.
"What if it gets something wrong?" It doesn't invent. If the answer isn't in your site or sermons, it says so and routes to staff. When an answer is outdated, the source page on your website is outdated — fix the page and the answer fixes itself.
"What about someone in a bad place emotionally?" Crisis routing comes first, before any AI response: 988 and the Crisis Text Line, in English and Spanish.
"What does this cost the church?" $99, $249, or $500 per month depending on weekend attendance — under 500, 500 to 2,000, or 2,000-plus and multi-campus. There's a 30-day free trial, a money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime.
The novelty fades fast, and that's the point. What's left is a front door that answers at 11pm on a Tuesday in either language, cites the sermon to the minute, and hands anyone who wants a human to a human. Keep one habit going: when a wrong or missing answer surfaces, treat it as a website bug. Fix the page, and the assistant — and every visitor who reads that page — gets the correction at the same time.
Keep it to 30 seconds: it's on the church website, it answers from our own site and sermons in English or Spanish, and it hands you to a real person whenever you want one.
It doesn't. AskMyChurch answers the questions the office already handles by phone, at hours the office is closed, and it hands anyone who asks straight to a real person — it never invents answers.
