AI and the Church: A Clear Guide for the Curious and Courageous
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, communities, and personal lives, the church stands at a critical crossroads. How should we respond to this transformative technology? What role can AI play in ministry, and what are the ethical boundaries we must respect? AI and the Church by Jason Moore tackles these questions head-on, offering church leaders a thoughtful, practical, and faith-driven roadmap.
This book provides an in-depth look at AI, from its basic concepts and history to the cutting-edge tools available today. But AI and the Church is more than just a technology guide; it's a call to action. Moore challenges readers to see AI not as a threat, but as a tool that, when used wisely, can enhance the church's mission in powerful ways.
Explore how AI can streamline administrative tasks, help craft sermons, and even create immersive worship experiences. At the same time, Moore addresses the ethical concerns and biblical principles that must guide the church's approach. Whether you're excited about AI, cautious, or even opposed to its use, this book invites you to engage with this technology thoughtfully and courageously.
With a blend of practical advice, theological reflection, and real-world examples, AI and the Church is the definitive guide for pastors and church leaders who want to lead their congregations into the future with wisdom and integrity.

An absolutely indispensable book for anyone looking for a Christian approach to AI. While I don’t agree with Moore’s approach to everything (I’m adamantly opposed to AI image generation because it inherently blurs the line between truth/reality and lies/manipulation), he provides practical resources and information alongside ethical considerations and Gospel-based principles.

I really appreciated this book. It was an option of our Clergy Summer Reading Program. I have been tinkering with A.I. outside of the everyday uses we currently live with today. Jason does a nice job navigating the basics, novice, and advanced concepts of how A.I. can (and should) be used. I would share that there are parts of this book that were over my head. Don’t let this discourage you, because we are all on different levels. Digesting the information is more important from basics, to ethics, to comprehensive and detailed information and analysis.
Jason share a critical ethical theme in his message for all of us that A.I. is meant to “do the work with you, not the work for you.” The book details correct prompts (how to write requests) for various tools, and other best practices. I’ve learned that we should embrace the positives that A.I. can provide instead of worrying about the human condition for the possibility of taking advantage of the tools. He gives recommendations and helped with a sample Church A.I. Policy which we have since created for my church. It’s a wonderfully detailed and well written guide. Don’t let your lack of technical understanding prevent you from learning.
