From first encounter with a text to a structured outline — Lumen supports the full ideation arc of your week. Give it the lectionary reading and get back multiple sermon angles, each a distinct interpretive lens with a preachable question at its center.
The signature work of progressive ministry. Lumen drafts theologically grounded communications on justice issues — pastoral letters, newsletter articles, advocacy statements — with web search enabled so your letter reflects what’s actually happening today.
Curricula, discussion guides, devotionals, and retreat materials — starting from your tradition and your congregation’s theological commitments. Adult education, youth ministry, small group studies, all grounded in progressive theological frameworks.
This week, many of us have been watching the news with heavy hearts. Reports of immigration enforcement actions in our region and across the country have left families afraid, and those of us who share this community asking: what does faithfulness look like right now?
Our tradition has always insisted that the stranger in our midst is not a threat to be managed but a neighbor to be welcomed. The ELCA’s accompaniment model is not simply a program — it is a theological commitment rooted in the conviction that God’s mission moves through relationship, through presence, through the willingness to stand with those the world pushes to the margins.
We will be holding a congregational gathering this Sunday after worship to share information about local sanctuary resources, know-your-rights materials, and ways our congregation can offer concrete support…
One: We gather as people made in the image of a God whose love has no outer edge.
Many: We come as we are — beloved, whole, and held.
One: In this place, there is no asterisk after “welcome.” There is no footnote after “all.” The table is wide, and the door is open.
Many: We come to worship the one who first loved us — in all our color, complexity, and beauty.
One: This is Pride Sunday. This is ordinary Sunday. This is the day the Lord has made.
All: Let us rejoice, and be glad in it. Amen.
Tools like ChatGPT start with a blank box and no theological context. And while you can train them over time, many people don't know how to do this. And you risk making your inputs available as training data for the AI models. So every session, you’re re-explaining your tradition, your values, and who you’re writing for. PCM Lumen starts with your denomination, your congregation, and your theological commitments already baked in. It understands the Revised Common Lectionary, knows the difference between UCC and PCUSA polity, and treats affirming theology as the baseline — not something you have to argue for. And we protect your data and privacy.
No — and that’s by design. PCM Lumen is a thinking partner, not a ghostwriter. It helps you find the angle, develop the outline, surface the illustrations, and draft the opening — so when you sit down to write, you’re not starting from a blank page. The sermon is yours. Lumen just makes the Monday morning part less daunting.
PCM Lumen launches with full support for UCC, ELCA, Episcopal, PCUSA, UMC, and Disciples of Christ. “Full support” means Lumen understands the polity, vocabulary, theological commitments, and cultural touchstones of your tradition — not just the name. Independent affirming congregations are also welcome. If you upload documents into PCM Lumen that reflect your faith and values, it will use those to inform responses to you.
PCM Imago creates the visual. PCM Lumen creates the word. They’re companion products designed to work together — you can develop a sermon angle in Lumen and send it directly to Imago to generate the Sunday worship graphic, with context passed automatically. Your Lumen subscription includes 1,000 Imago credits per month. If you’re already an Imago subscriber, Lumen is the natural complement.
No. Unlike image generation (which uses a credit system), PCM Lumen text generation is unlimited. Brainstorm as many sermon angles as you need, draft and redraft, refine and revisit — your $12.99/month covers all of it with no per-generation cost.
Your documents and outputs are used exclusively to personalize your experience. Nothing you upload is used to train AI models, and nothing is shared with other users. You can export all your data — ministry profile, documents, and saved outputs — as a ZIP file at any time from your account settings. And if you cancel your subscription, we'll keep your data and outputs for 30 days, to give you time to download what you want to save. After that, we delete everything from our system.
