What is PastorsAI?
Pastors.ai is an AI-powered platform designed to help pastors and churches transform a single sermon into a week of engaging content without needing a media team. Users simply paste their YouTube sermon link, and within about 30 minutes, the AI generates sermon clips, 5-day devotionals, Bible study guides, discussion questions, and a custom chatbot—all emailed directly to the user with no editing required.
The platform automatically selects the best quotes from sermons and creates vertical video clips with captions, background music, the church's logo, and centered framing of the speaker. These clips are ready to post on Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook. Pastors.ai also creates branded sermon pages, one-click social posting with pre-written captions and hashtags, study guides for small groups, and a sermon chatbot trained on transcript data.
Pastors.ai is built specifically for busy pastors, solo pastors, and church communications teams without dedicated media staff. The church chatbot is trained on the church's website and full sermon archive (not the open internet), providing accurate answers to visitors and members while allowing pastors to search their preaching history. The tool is free for most churches to start, with paid upgrades for more sermons and advanced features.
The platform also supports manuscript uploads, allowing pastors to create resources before Sunday service, including quote graphics for social media. Pastors.ai won the 2024 AI & the Church Hackathon Grand Prize for its real-time sermon translation feature that can translate sermons into over 150 languages with AI-powered audio, voice cloning, and lip-sync technology.
