Using Ai Tools Main

In today’s rapidly evolving world, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries and everyday life — and the Church is no exception. But what role should AI play within our faith communities? Based on insights from Jason’s Amazon bestselling book, AI and the Church: A Clear Guide for the Curious and Courageous, this training offers a balanced, thoughtful approach to understanding and implementing AI in ministry.

Whether you're intrigued by the potential of AI, already convinced of its value, or deeply skeptical, this session is designed with you in mind. We’ll cover:

· What AI Really Is: Cutting through the hype to build a solid understanding of AI and its relevance to the Church.

· Best and Worst Practices: Practical guidance on how AI can enhance ministry work — and cautions against common pitfalls.

· Biblical Foundations: Grounding our conversation in scripture, we’ll explore how scripture informs our approach to using AI.

· Ethical Considerations: Navigating questions of responsibility, transparency, and compassion in a digital age.

· AI Tools for Ministry: A hands-on look at some of the most effective tools available to support worship, outreach, administration, and community building.

If you’re wondering where the lines are that we should not be crossing, this event is for you. Questions like: should AI write my sermon or ordination paper, do I still need a team if I have AI, and is this going to take over my job will all be covered in depth. We’ll root our time together in Wesleyan principles for proper use of ai. 

Whether you're excited, hesitant, or somewhere in between, this training invites you to approach AI thoughtfully, asking how it can serve the Church in meaningful and ethical ways. Join AI expert, author, and consultant Jason Moore in exploring the possibilities and limits of this powerful technology as we seek to discern the faithful path forward together.

Creativity, storytelling and visual communication are evidenced passions of Jason Moore throughout his more than two decades of designing dynamic resources, training, coaching, and consulting for churches of all sizes, styles, and means. 

A childhood dream of becoming a Hollywood filmmaker shifted as Jason experienced a call to bring his gifted artistry to the church, joining the Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church staff in the 1990s.

In 2020, as the global pandemic took root, Jason instinctively shifted his work, crafting a series of groundbreaking webinars on hybrid worship design. These trainings, which combine his specialties of church communications, guest readiness and creative worship, provide practical, results-oriented application, and are being utilized across the country in The United Methodist Church, seminaries, and ecumenical groups.

The rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence that began filling news cycles in the fall of 2022, once again prompted Jason to dig deep and create cutting edge trainings on they why, how and what of A.I. in the church. He has been a featured speaker at multiple conferences on AI and the Church, including the groundbreaking AI Discovery Expo as well as the Church Innovation Summit and Church Communicator Conference (each time speaking about and demonstrating practical uses of generative AI). His forthcoming book on the topic will release in mid 2024. 

In the secular world, Jason has collaborated with several Hollywood producers in film and television, and has produced numerous book trailers for New York Times best selling authors such as Ariana Huffington, Seth Godin, Robert Greene, Ryan Holiday and Mark Ecko. 

Jason, a graduate of The Modern College of Design, is author of 14 books, a frequent keynote speaker, and a sought-after trainer.

His latest book AI and the Church: A Clear Guide for the Curious and Convinced is available wherever books are sold.
