Searching for the right mix of traditional and modern songs? AI can suggest set lists based on your theme and even help you create transitions or Scripture pairings.

Use AI to generate background images, slide templates, or video scripts. Some tools can even help you edit audio tracks or clean up recordings.

Use the Tool—But Stay Spirit-Led
AI can make ministry easier, but it can’t replace prayer, discernment, or the movement of the Holy Spirit. Technology serves; it should never lead. But when we use it wisely, AI helps us steward our time, sharpen our creativity, and reach people more effectively.
As Rick Warren said, “Never confuse methods with the mission.” The mission is eternal. The methods can adapt – such as AI tools for church Christmas planning. This Christmas, don’t carry the burden alone. Explore one or two AI tools that can help lighten your load. Use them to plan, communicate, create, and follow up. Let them clear space so you can focus on people and the presence of Christ. When technology supports ministry and not the other way around, your Christmas planning can be both excellent and peaceful.
Let AI handle the tasks—so you can shepherd the hearts.
