1. Governance Policy
A board-adoptable policy with fill-in fields, permitted and prohibited uses, privacy rules, claim classification, transparency choices, and an adoption record.
Church AI Governance Kit · Version 1.1
The rules for AI in your pulpit.
Your staff is already experimenting with AI. Give them a clear boundary before an invented citation, private prayer request, or unreviewed claim reaches the congregation.
AI may help reason and draft. Only accountable humans approve teaching.

What you receive
A complete governance system—not a list of AI tips.
Each document handles a different accountability boundary: institutional policy, sermon preparation, and practical adoption.
2. The Fourteen Gates
A working sermon-preparation checklist for Scripture verification, sources, uncertainty, historical outcomes, pastoral judgment, and final doctrinal approval.
3. Adoption Guide + Prompts
A 30-day rollout, staff discussion prompts, implementation steps, and reusable AI prompts with a clear [NEEDS SOURCE] rule.
Designed to be used
Editable, reviewable, and ready for your leadership table.
The documents include checkboxes, decision fields, owner assignments, attestations, and rollout checkpoints. Adapt them to your doctrine, polity, privacy requirements, and local law.
How it works
Move from concern to a governed practice.
Customize
Replace the bracketed fields and align the policy with your church’s doctrine, leadership structure, and applicable law.
Review together
Walk leadership and ministry staff through the policy, the Fourteen Gates, and the defined human approval roles.
Adopt and train
Record the decision, train users, and review the policy after the first 30 days and at least annually.
