The sermon is still wrestling with you. The bulletin isn't done. The music director needs hymn numbers. There's a children's moment, a newsletter, a Bible study, and the church Facebook page has been dead air for a month. You trained to read the Greek and Hebrew — but who has time to open Brown-Driver-Briggs?

So you paste "write me a sermon on Luke 15" into ChatGPT. What comes back is fluent, generic, occasionally false — a verse that isn't in the text, a hymn number that doesn't exist — and it is plainly not yours. You can't stand up and preach it, and you'd feel too guilty to even if you could.

You don't need a machine to preach for you. You need the twenty hours of work around the sermon done — so you can do the visitations, handle the emergencies, and get on with the rest of your calling.

A purpose-built ministry assistant for PC(USA) pastors — especially the ones who are the staff.

It learns who you are and who your people are. It helps you prepare faithfully, with you in the loop the whole way. Then it turns that one sermon into a week of worship and communications — most of it ready before Sunday, all of it in your voice and grounded in Reformed worship.

Not a blank chatbox you have to wrestle every week.

How it works

Teach it once. Stay in the loop.

1

Teach it once

It reads your sermon archive and builds a preaching profile — your voice, your theology, the moves you make — plus a church profile of your congregation, pulling your church's OGA data from church-trends.pcusa.org. Start from sermons you already have: paste a manuscript, upload a Word doc or PDF, or drop in a YouTube link.

2

Prepare, with you in the loop

A guided seven-phase path — ideas, the right text, research in minutes, your reflection, outlines, illustrations, draft. Phase four is explicitly yours. The research includes synthesized commentary and a verified Greek & Hebrew interlinear — hover any word for Strong's and parsing, looked up, not guessed.

3

One sermon becomes a week

The cascade builds your bulletin and liturgy, a music handoff with real hymn numbers, promo images, a Bible study, daily devotionals, a children's moment, social meditations, and the newsletter — then, after Sunday, the blog post, pull-quotes, and short-clip specs. Most of it before you stand up.

The hardest question of the week

Never start from a blank Sunday.

Sometimes the worst part isn't the writing. It's the blank Sunday — the lectionary's open, you're up again, and nothing has landed yet.

Sermon Helper reads your entire archive and shows you the shape of your own preaching: the texts you return to, the themes you lean on, and the ground you haven't touched in years.

You're still the one who discerns what God is asking you to say. You just don't have to start from nothing.

Why it's different from raw ChatGPT

Generic AI is exactly what it's built to avoid.

It sounds like you

Because it learned from your sermons — your whole archive, not three pasted samples. Generic "Reformed-ish" copy or "evangela-slop" is exactly what it's built to avoid.

It's actually PC(USA)

The liturgy is grounded in the Book of Common Worship, the Book of Order, the confessions, and Glory to God — real Reformed worship order and grammar, covenant and grace-then-response. Not evangelical cadence borrowed from another tradition.

The facts are checked — because we assume AI lies

AI invents Bible verses and hymn numbers. So Sermon Helper looks them up instead of trusting the model: real Scripture text, and verified hymn numbers across the commonly used mainline hymnals. Risky claims get flagged and run past an independent second AI. You're always the last line.

A whole week in one run

Your music director gets hymns with real lead time. Christian ed gets the study. Communications gets the social and the newsletter. Everyone's on the same theme — instead of the hymn list landing Wednesday.

No setup

Sign in with your email. No install, no configuration, no onboarding marathon. Twenty years of sermons can start working for you tonight.

What you get back

Weeks ahead — and hours returned.

Weeks ahead instead of Saturday night.

Your whole team on the same page — or, if you're solo, every hat handled from one sermon.

Hours returned — to prayer, study, and the people in front of you. The freed time is the point.

Content that sounds like you and lands in your room — PC(USA)-correct and fact-checked.

You're still the preacher

Sermon Helper is the assistant, not the preacher.

It does the research, drafts the bulletin, chases the hymn numbers, and checks the facts. It never stands in your place, and it never robs you of your chance to meditate on what God is asking you to say this week. You're in the driver's seat — it just gives you ideas, does the work you'd rather not, and hands back hours.

We built it assuming AI hallucinates, because it does. That's why the facts get looked up and double-checked, and why the risky claims get handed back to you flagged. The honesty isn't fine print. For a pastor, it's the whole point.

The time it gives back isn't for doing less. It's for giving more of yourself to the work only a pastor can do.

Solo pastors. Pastors without a social media team. Bivocational pastors who finish a workday and then prepare to preach. If you are the preacher, the liturgist, the bulletin editor, the social media manager, and the one who still wants to honor the languages you trained in — this was built for you.

And if you do have a team, it's the thing that finally gets everyone working from the same sermon, with real lead time.

Less than the help you can't hire.

Questions pastors ask

The honest answers.

01Is this cheating?+

No more than a commentary, a lectionary aid, or a worship-planning resource. You stay the author of your proclamation — Sermon Helper carries the craft around it and hands the pulpit back to you.

02Will it actually sound like me?+

That's the first thing it does: learn your voice from your own sermons. The difference between "generic AI" and "your voice" is the entire reason it exists. The more of your archive it reads, the closer it gets.

03Doesn't AI make things up?+

Yes — and we assume it will. Risky claims are flagged, run past an independent second AI, and the facts that matter (hymn numbers, Scripture text) are looked up rather than generated. You see the flags. You decide. Nothing publishes on its own.

04What about private or pastoral information?+

Sermon Helper is built for the public-facing work of the week — worship, study, communications. Keep counseling notes, names, and session matters out of any AI tool, including this one.

05What does it cost?+

Your first 30 days are free, with no card required. After that it's $19/month — a founding price locked in for life (the regular price will be $39). Cancel anytime. Pastors in the Presbytery of the Peaks have free access for now.

06Do I have to install anything?+

No. Sign in with your email and start.
