Your church owns it. AskMyChurch answers only from your website and sermons, never sells or brokers data, and deletes your data on request if you cancel.
Your church owns the data — all of it. AskMyChurch builds your assistant from what your church has already published, your website and your sermons, and we never sell it, rent it, or pass it to a data broker.
That's the short answer. Here's the longer one, because pastors are right to ask this before putting any AI on a church website.
Everything your AskMyChurch assistant says is drawn from two sources: your church's website and your sermons. It doesn't pull from a generic pool of church content, it doesn't borrow from other congregations, and it never invents an answer when your material doesn't cover the question. When it references a sermon, it cites to the exact minute, so anyone can click through and hear the pastor say it. When a question falls outside what your church has actually said, the assistant says so and hands the person to a real human at your church.
We describe it as the front door of your church, always open. A front door doesn't have opinions of its own. It lets people in and points them to the right room.
People ask a church assistant real things — service times, yes, but also grief, marriage, doubt, baptism for a kid they're worried about. Two commitments cover that.
First, we keep the what, not the who. Church leaders can see the topics their congregation and visitors are asking about, which is genuinely useful for preaching and planning. What we don't do is build profiles of individual people. There is no name attached to "I'm struggling in my marriage."
Second, crisis messages skip the AI entirely. If someone types something that indicates a crisis, they see 988 and the Crisis Text Line — in English and in Spanish — before any AI response is generated. That routing is hard-coded. No data decision, no model judgment, no exceptions.
Plain terms, the kind you could read from the pulpit: your corpus exists to answer your congregation's questions and for nothing else. We don't sell it. We don't sell the question logs. We don't feed any of it to advertisers or list builders. There is no side business where church data is the product. If a company offers you a free church chatbot, ask who is paying for it and with what. Our answer is simple: churches pay us monthly, so churches are the customer, not the inventory.
You can cancel anytime, and leaving is undramatic. Your assistant comes down. Your content never left home in the first place — it lives on your website and in your sermon recordings, exactly where it was before we showed up. What we built from that content stops being used the day you leave, and if you want stored data deleted, ask and we delete it. No export fees, no data hostage, no clause that says your corpus now belongs to us.
If you searched your church and found a working AskMyChurch page you never asked for, here's what that is. We build working previews from a church's public website — the same pages anyone with a browser can read — so a pastor can see the thing running on real content instead of a sales deck. As of this writing there are 84 in Atlanta, 79 in Nashville, 63 in Charlotte, 60 in Columbia, 53 in Charleston, and 38 in Knoxville, each one waiting for its church to claim it. None of those churches are customers, and nothing private is in a preview, because we don't have anything private — only what the church already published. Claim yours and it becomes yours to run; ignore it and it stays a preview.
Pricing goes by weekend attendance: $99 a month under 500, $249 a month for 500–2,000, and $500 a month for 2,000+ or multi-campus. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial and carries a money-back guarantee, and — worth repeating on a page about data — you can cancel anytime and take everything with you, because it was never ours to keep.
No. AskMyChurch never sells, rents, or brokers church data — the corpus built from your website and sermons exists only to answer your congregation's questions.
Only your church's own website and sermons. It cites sermon references to the exact minute, and when your material doesn't cover a question, it hands the person to a real human instead of inventing an answer.
You can cancel anytime. Your assistant comes down, your content stays where it always lived — on your website and in your sermon recordings — and stored data is deleted on request.
It keeps the topics, not the identities. Church leaders see what people are asking about, but no profiles are built on individuals, and crisis messages route to 988 and the Crisis Text Line in English and Spanish before any AI responds.
