The same questions every week drain your staff. Here's how to let your website answer them accurately, in your pastor's own voice, around the clock.
Every church office deals with a short list of questions that never stops circulating. What time is service? Where do I park? Is there a nursery? How do I sign up to serve? What did the pastor say about baptism?
Your staff answers them with grace. They answer them on Monday, they answer them on Thursday, they answer the same ones again by Friday afternoon. It is not a complaint — it is just math. The more a church grows, the more that list grows with it.
The cost is not just time. Every minute spent on a question that could have been answered online is a minute not spent on a first-time guest who needed a real conversation, a family navigating grief, a volunteer who needed coaching.
Most church websites are built to publish, not to answer. A page for service times exists — but a visitor at 10 p.m. on a Thursday does not know which page to look on, whether that page is current, or where to go if they have a follow-up.
A general-purpose chatbot can surface that page, but it pulls from the whole internet. Ask it about your church's baptism class and it will answer from whatever it knows about baptism in general — or it will confuse your campus schedule with another church in your city. It uses your website as a hint, not a boundary.
The fix is a different starting point: an assistant that knows only your church and is honest about the limits of what it knows.
AskMyChurch is an AI assistant that lives on your church's own website, trained exclusively on your church's own published content — your site pages, your sermons, your PDFs, your podcasts. It does not draw from the open internet. It does not infer what you probably believe. If the answer is in your content, it gives it, with a link to the source. If the answer is not there, it says so and offers to connect the person to someone on your team.
That combination — grounded answers, honest limits, and a hand-off when needed — is what makes it a front door rather than a dead end.
A real hand-off matters more than a clever answer in many situations. AskMyChurch is built to recognize when that moment comes. If someone shares that they are in crisis — distress signals in English or Spanish — the system routes them to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), and your church's care team, before any AI response runs. The assistant does not attempt a pastoral or clinical response. That is a hard rule in the system, not a setting.
Setup takes about 30 minutes. There is no integration project, no IT department required. You point it at your sermon library and it builds the index. Your site gets a link or a QR code that works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, Shopify, and Google Tag Manager.
Every answer re-checks itself against your church's own content before it sends. That step is not optional and not a feature you turn on — it runs on every response.
Plans are priced by congregation size, not by features. Every plan ships the full assistant, including the Canon layer that indexes sermons and cites the pastor's own words.
| Plan | Price | Congregation size |
|---|---|---|
| Base | $99 / month | Under 500 weekend attendance |
| Growth | $249 / month | 500 – 2,000 |
| Premium | $500 / month | 2,000+ or multi-campus |
Founding churches get free setup and a 12-month price lock. Billed monthly.
The questions do not disappear — they get answered. The difference is who answers them and when. A person researching your church at midnight gets a real response in their language from your own words. Your staff comes in Monday morning to a queue of prayer requests, visit intentions, and people ready for a next step — not another round of the same questions.
AskMyChurch is built by Vision Genesis in Knoxville, Tennessee. See how it works.
It answers from whatever your church has published — sermons, site pages, PDFs, podcasts. Where the content is thin, it says so honestly and offers to connect the person to your team rather than guessing.
It tells the person it doesn't have that information and offers a hand-off to a real person on your staff. It never invents an answer or pulls from outside your church's own content.
About 30 minutes. You point the assistant at your sermon library and existing site, and it builds the index. Your site receives a link or QR code — no IT project, no integration required.
Everyday questions are anonymous — no names, no accounts. A person is only identified when they choose to share their information for prayer, serving, or a visit, and that goes to your team. Vision Genesis does not train models on a church's member conversations.
