AskMyChurch learns from three sources only: your church's website, your sermons and YouTube teaching, and the PDFs on your site — never the open internet.
An AskMyChurch assistant learns from exactly three places: your church's website, your sermon recordings — including your YouTube teaching — and the PDFs on your site. It never learns from the open internet, from other churches, or from a general model's idea of what a church like yours probably believes.
That distinction is the whole product. A pastor's real worry about AI is rarely that it will get the service time wrong — it's that it will say something about God the church has never taught. The way to prevent that is not a smarter filter. It is a smaller diet.
The assistant reads every published page — service times, staff, ministries, beliefs, plan-a-visit, giving, the youth calendar buried three clicks deep. When someone asks "what time is the Christmas Eve service," the answer comes from your page, and the answer links to that page so the person can check it themselves.
When you update the page, the assistant's answers update with it. There is no second copy of your church to maintain.
If your church posts sermons to YouTube, the assistant indexes them — the actual words your pastor preached, not a summary of them. This is the Canon layer. When a member asks "what did Pastor say about forgiveness," the answer draws on the teaching and links to the exact minute in the video where it was said. Someone can click through and hear it in the pastor's own voice.
For a skeptical pastor, this is the feature to test first. Nobody has to trust software to characterize the teaching — people find what the pastor already said, with a timestamp attached.
New-member guides, statements of faith, class workbooks, event flyers — if a PDF lives on your church's site, the assistant reads it as part of the same crawl. Churches keep a surprising share of their real answers inside PDFs nobody can find from a search bar. The assistant makes them findable.
Not Reddit, not another church's doctrinal statement, not a seminary database, and never its own guess. If the answer is missing from your content, the assistant says it doesn't know and hands the person to a real human at your church. It never invents an answer to seem helpful. That's the standard behind "the front door of your church, always open" — a front door greets people and points them to the right room; it doesn't preach.
Ask it about predestination when your church has never taught on predestination, and it declines and offers a person instead. That behavior is the test of the whole system.
Don't take the claim on faith. Every answer carries its source — a link to the page on your site or the minute-mark in the sermon. Ask it something your church has taught, then check the citation. Ask it something your church has never addressed, and watch it decline. Ten minutes of that testing tells you more than any sales page.
Crisis response is hard-coded, never learned from content. If someone types a message showing acute distress, routing to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line fires before any AI response runs — in English and in Spanish. A sermon archive should not be anyone's safety plan, so it isn't.
The same goes for language: the assistant answers in English or Spanish based on how the person writes, in every plan.
Plans are priced by weekend attendance: $99/month under 500, $249/month for 500–2,000, $500/month over 2,000 or multi-campus. Every plan is the full assistant — same sources, same Canon layer, same crisis routing. There's a 30-day free trial, a money-back guarantee, and you can cancel anytime.
