Custom AI agentsWe build and run an agent for one jobPricingAboutBlogTen AI tools a small or mid-size church can use in 2026, from church management software with AI features to sermon content, phones and meeting notes, with prices read on each vendor page, who each fits, and one honest limit for each.
Checked October 26, 2026. Prices were read on each vendor's own pricing page. Several (Subsplash apps, Pushpay) do not publish prices, and we say so. Prices change: re-check before you buy. Dooza Crew is our product and our top pick for small church offices; we say why, and where the others fit better.
Our top pick for a small or mid-size church office is Dooza Crew: AI employees that handle routine office jobs, $49 a month for the whole organization, and it asks you to Approve, Edit or Reject before it sends an email. If you want AI inside your church database, look at Planning Center. For turning a sermon into devotionals, clips and discussion guides, Pulpit AI. For the phones, Smith.ai's AI Receptionist has a free plan. For meeting notes, Fathom and Otter have free plans.
Barna's research on pastors and AI is the clearest recent source. Its U.S. Protestant pastors survey (n=442) "was conducted online in December 2025", and found that "Only 13 percent of pastors in the U.S. say they don’t use it at all." So most use it somewhere, usually behind the scenes. Barna reports that 34% use AI "for administrative tasks like scheduling, emails and document preparation", a figure it gives together with small group discussion questions.
Church vendors say churches are still working out the rules. Pushpay's own page says "64% of churches believe an AI policy is important, but only 5% have one." That is a vendor claim with no sample size on the page, so treat it as a prompt, not a statistic to quote.

Crew gives a church office AI employees, each with its own computer and browser and its own job. They work around the clock and work with your team in one chat. They pass work to each other. Before one sends an email or clicks Send, Submit or Pay, it asks you to Approve, Edit or Reject.
Examples of jobs you could give it:

Planning Center says it will "Connect your account to AI resources (like ChatGPT and Claude), use built-in ways to use our products effectively, and get instant answers to your questions." In practice: AI lists, where you type who you are looking for in People and it builds the list; an Ask AI helper for how-to questions; and a Planning Center MCP, so ChatGPT or Claude can read your account data if you permit it. It adds that "You, not Planning Center, are completely in control of what data you give to AI companies."
Tithely's church management plan covers unlimited people and member management, volunteer tracking and scheduling, service planning, email newsletters, texting and automated follow-ups, with free giving included. We searched its pricing pages and found no AI feature named, so this is the base your AI tools sit on, not an AI tool.
Pulpit AI is made by Subsplash and, in its words, will "Instantly turn your sermons into more content—video clips, devotionals, small group guides, blog posts, newsletters, and more all in your voice". It also has a sermon assistant for openers, metaphors and applications.
Subsplash is a church platform for apps, giving and media, and its menu lists Pulpit AI and Trends AI (it has a post on creating a year-end impact report with Trends AI).
Pushpay calls itself "The all-in-one platform for giving, engagement, and church management." Its menu lists "AI Solutions for Churches", and it offers a free AI Policy Generator.
Smith.ai's AI Receptionist offers 24/7 AI call answering, with recording, transcription and summaries, and a way to test before going live.
Fathom's free plan offers "Unlimited recordings, instant call summaries, integrations with LLMs & more.", handy for elder, board and volunteer meetings held on video.
Otter offers live transcription, speaker identification and AI chat within and across meetings.
Claude can draft newsletters, announcements, volunteer guides and forms. It is a general assistant rather than a church tool.

For a small or mid-size church office, our top pick is Dooza Crew (our product): AI employees for the routine office jobs, each with its own computer and browser, for $49 a month for the whole organization after a 7-day free trial. It asks you to Approve, Edit or Reject before it sends an email. If you want AI inside your church database, look at Planning Center; for sermon content, Pulpit AI.
Barna surveyed 442 U.S. Protestant pastors online in December 2025 and found that only 13 percent say they do not use AI at all. Barna also reports that 34% use AI for administrative tasks like scheduling, emails and document preparation, a figure it reports together with small group discussion questions.
It can draft and suggest, but the message, the theology and the care for your people stay with the pastor. Pulpit AI, for example, repurposes a sermon you already preached into clips, devotionals and discussion guides, and also has a sermon assistant for ideas. Read every draft before it goes out in your name.
Several have free entry points. Planning Center People is free with an unlimited database, and its paid products start with a first 30 days free. Smith.ai's AI Receptionist has a free forever plan with 25 calls a month (card required at signup). Fathom has a free forever plan, Otter's Basic plan is free, and Claude has a free plan. Pulpit AI offers a free trial with no credit card required.
Treat it with care. Planning Center says you, not Planning Center, control what data you give to AI companies, and lets you limit which users and products connect. Whatever you use, decide in writing what member, giving and pastoral information may be entered, and keep counselling notes out. Pushpay says on its own page that 64% of churches believe an AI policy is important but only 5% have one; that is a vendor claim, but a written policy is a sensible step.
No church software is certified or integrated with Dooza Crew, so it does not sync with your church management system. It works only in web tools you log in to with a browser, and you type passwords and 2FA codes yourself. Try your own tools during the 7-day free trial before you commit.
