AI and the Church - Opportunities, Challenges, and Ethical Considerations

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming our world, and the church cannot afford to ignore its impact. In this session, Darren Rowse will explore the role of AI in ministry—how it can assist in sermon preparation, content creation, pastoral care, and administration— while also addressing the ethical, pastoral, and theological implications of its use. With practical demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and thought-provoking discussion, this session will equip church leaders to engage with AI wisely, creatively, and responsibly.
