Written By Admin

Pastors, it’s time to move beyond the grind and embrace tools that free you up to focus on what really matters—preaching the Gospel and shepherding your people. In this post, I break down three essential AI tools that every pastor should be using: Pastor GPT, Gamma, and ManyChat.

These aren’t just fancy tech gimmicks—these tools will streamline sermon prep, enhance communication, and simplify ministry tasks so you can spend more time with your congregation and less time buried in admin work.

1. Pastor GPT: Your AI-Powered Ministry Assistant

Try Pastor GPT here

Pastor GPT is a tool I created specifically for pastors, particularly Black pastors, to provide sermon support, theological insights, and church marketing strategies. Unlike generic AI tools, Pastor GPT is built with African American liberation theology, cultural exegesis, and deconstruction in mind.

What Pastor GPT Can Do for You:

  • Sermon Prep Support: It won’t write your sermons for you, but it will help organize your thoughts, offer scripture references, and provide theological insights.

  • Marketing and Financial Planning: Need a 30-day church marketing plan? Just ask Pastor GPT, and it will generate one tailored to your ministry.

  • Culture and Theology Fusion: If you want to connect hip-hop culture and biblical principles, Pastor GPT can help develop studies like “Kendrick Lamar and the Resurrection.”

How to Access It:

  2. Search for Pastor GPT

2. Gamma: AI-Powered Presentation Tool for Churches

If PowerPoint had a smarter cousin, it would be Gamma. This tool allows you to create stunning, engaging, and AI-generated presentations in minutes. Whether you’re delivering a Sunday sermon, leading a Bible study, or casting vision for your church, Gamma simplifies the process.

Why Pastors Love Gamma:

  • Fast & Automated: Copy and paste sermon notes or ideas, and Gamma turns them into clean, well-structured slides instantly.

  • Multiple Format Options: Create presentations, websites, documents, and even social media posts from your sermon in seconds.

  • Custom Graphics & Design: AI-generated visuals and seamless formatting take the stress out of presentation prep.

Example: We took our Kendrick Lamar and the Resurrection study and transformed it into a fully designed sermon slide deck in under 5 minutes! Imagine using Gamma for:

  • Sermon series visual aids

  • Bible study guides

  • Church vision presentations

  • Recap slides for social media

3. ManyChat: The Ultimate Engagement & Automation Tool

Try ManyChat here

One of the biggest challenges for pastors is staying connected with their congregation. ManyChat helps automate communication across platforms like Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and text messaging so you never lose touch with your people.

How ManyChat Works for Churches:

  • Automated Follow-Ups: Set up responses for prayer requests, event sign-ups, and new visitor follow-ups.

  • Comment Automation: If someone comments on your church’s post with a keyword (e.g., “prayer”), ManyChat automatically sends them a message with relevant info or resources.

  • Event Reminders & Updates: Keep members informed about upcoming services, Bible studies, and special events without manually sending messages.

Example: If your church posts a sermon clip on Instagram and asks followers to comment "SERMON" to receive the full message, ManyChat will instantly DM them a link to the video. No more missing opportunities for engagement!

Bringing It All Together

These three tools—Pastor GPT, Gamma, and ManyChat—aren’t just about making your life easier. They’re about enhancing your ministry, deepening connections, and focusing on what truly matters—leading people to Christ.

🔹 Pastor GPT helps with theological study, sermon structuring, and church growth. 🔹 Gamma simplifies presentations, making sermons and Bible studies visually engaging. 🔹 ManyChat keeps your congregation engaged and informed automatically.
