AI Prompts for Churches

Our AI Prompt Library from gives pastors and church administrators ready-to-use prompts for creating graphics, documents, and resources with today’s AI tools. Each prompt is ministry-focused and tested for quality. Save time, communicate effectively, and harness technology faithfully for worship, outreach, and everyday church operations.

Free AI Prompts for Your Ministry

Generative AI has made it easier than ever to create visuals for ministry. Tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini, MidJourney, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion can take a short description and instantly produce worship backgrounds, sermon graphics, or social media images. Programs many churches already use—like Canva or Adobe Creative Suite—now include built-in AI features, so even those without design experience can quickly create professional-looking media.

AI is also beginning to shape video production, although it is fair to say this technology is still in its early days. With platforms like OpenAI's Sora, Runway, Pika Labs, and Synthesia, you can generate short clips, animated visuals, or even virtual presenters to deliver announcements and messages. Video editors such as Descript also use AI to simplify tasks like cutting, captioning, and adjusting audio. For pastors and church teams, this means creating compelling video content in minutes rather than days—helping you focus more on ministry and less on tech hurdles.

Copy any of our prompts into your preferred Generative AI tool.

While we have crafted our prompts to work well with all the major AI tools, here are some suggestions to generate the best possible results:

  • Give AI a role. Generally, you will derive better results if you first tell your AI tool what role they should play in the task. For example, for any of our suggested prompts, you might want to add this statement at the beginning: "You are the pastor of a progressive Christian church in (insert your location here)." 
  • Don't be shy about asking for a revision. While AI tools will often give you good output on the first try, it rarely hurts to ask for a revision. If you do ask for a revision, be specific in what revision you are looking for - is the tone not correct? Are the dimensions of the image not what you wanted? 
  • The more specific you can be, the better. If you need an image in a square format for posting on social media, include that in your prompt. If you want the text of a document to be non-technical in nature, say that. If you are using Canva or PowerPoint or Google Slides, say that in your prompt. You will generate better results.
  • AI tools are designed to flatter you. They will tell you that your idea is great ... even when it isn't. Be skeptical of any praise you receive from an AI tool.
