Digital Stewardship: A Church AI Policy Toolkit for Leaders

AI is already finding its way into everyday ministry: in emails, social posts, meeting notes, sermon preparation, and other everyday tasks. Used thoughtfully, it can be a helpful tool. But churches also need to consider what responsible use looks like: how to protect people’s privacy, preserve pastoral trust, uphold theological integrity, and keep human judgment where it belongs.

I’m excited to share Digital Stewardship: A Church AI Policy Toolkit for Leaders with the Unstuck tribe. It offers a practical starting point for the conversations church leaders need to have, along with guidance on data stewardship, content review, governance, transparency, and a customizable staff AI policy template.

A thoughtful AI policy doesn’t have to shut down useful tools. It can give your team a framework for deciding how AI can support ministry without compromising the things that matter most.

When Subsplash shared this with our team, we immediately decided we needed to help them get it out to more pastors. I hope it serves your team well.
