For churches & ministries

Video your congregation will actually watch.

I produce narrated Scripture films, teaching series and children's Bible material for churches, and I train church staff to use AI without putting anything confidential at risk. Some of it I charge for. A good deal of it — including the training and the whole children's library — costs you nothing.

Does The AI Disciple work with churches?

Yes. The AI Disciple works with churches, ministries and Christian nonprofits, producing narrated Bible films and teaching videos and training church staff to use AI responsibly. The practice is run by Aaron Tenney from Fresno, California, and works with congregations across the United States and overseas, including partner churches in Kenya and Pakistan.

Churches also get things at no charge: a free AI training course, free Sunday school material, a free consultation, and an honest answer when AI is not the right tool for what you are trying to do.

What gets made

Six kinds of video built for church use

In the last nine months I have written, narrated, produced and published 471 videos — not as a portfolio exercise, but as a working production line. That is the same line your church's video runs through.

Narrated Scripture films

Not actors performing a play. A witness tells the story — Moses recounting the flood, John describing what he saw on Patmos — while the visuals carry the scene. Made to be projected behind a message, not to replace it.

Multi-week teaching series

Genesis, Revelation, the letters to the seven churches — produced as a run of episodes so a series holds together week to week, with short cut-downs for social media between Sundays.

Children's Bible cartoons

Eighty-four animated Bible stories for ages five to twelve, free to watch and free to use in Sunday school, plus printable worksheets and coloring pages generated from the same scripts.

Background and evidence

Short, sourced explainers on archaeology, manuscripts and history — the questions people in your pews are already asking a search engine on the drive home.

Testimony and appeal films

Real stories told properly — mission updates, testimonies, giving appeals. Produced so a small ministry gets something it can put in front of donors without apologizing for it.

Other languages

Every film can be produced in a second language with matched narration and captions. Already delivered in Urdu for families in Pakistan and Swahili for seventeen church Sunday schools in Kenya.

Films already made and published

These are finished, public videos — not mockups. Click any one to watch it here. If your church wants something in this style on a passage you are preaching, that is the conversation.

No charge

What churches get from me for free

I am building a business, and I do need paying clients. But a church with no budget should still be able to get somewhere with this, so a fair amount of what I do costs nothing.

A free AI training course

A beginner course for anyone on your staff or in your congregation — pastors, secretaries, volunteers, retirees who have never opened ChatGPT. Request it through the contact form and I email you a private link myself.

The children's Bible library

All eighty-four animated Bible stories in English and Urdu are free to watch and free to use in Sunday school, kids' church and family devotions. No license to sign, no per-seat fee.

A free conversation, and a straight answer

Twenty minutes on a call about what your church is trying to do. If AI is not the right tool, or a free tool already handles it, I will tell you that instead of quoting you for something you do not need.

Beyond video

AI in the church office, done carefully

Most church staff are running on volunteer hours. The wins are usually boring and worth a lot: turning a sermon into a bulletin, a newsletter and five social posts; drafting the volunteer schedule; translating a message for a partner congregation overseas; pulling background reading for a study without spending a whole afternoon on it.

The part that matters more is the part nobody sells you: what must never go into a chat window. counseling notes, confessions, benevolence requests, giving records, anything a member told you in confidence. I write your church a one-page rule your whole team can actually follow, and I train people to spot a confident, wrong answer before it ends up in the bulletin.

  • Sermon and study support. Research and outlining that respects your theology instead of flattening it.
  • Communications. One message turned into every format your church publishes.
  • Translation. Bulletins, lessons and messages for multilingual congregations.
  • A written safety rule. Short enough that a volunteer will read it.

How it runs

From your passage to a finished film

You tell me the passage and the point

What you are preaching, who is in the room, and what you want them walking out with. Twenty minutes, no charge.

I write the script and you approve it

Scripture-first, researched against real commentary, in the voice of a witness to the events. Nothing gets produced until you have read it and signed off.

Production

Narration, visuals, music, captions and thumbnails, in every language you need. Delivered as files you own, ready for ProPresenter, YouTube or a projector.

One round of changes, then it's yours

You get a revision pass, the finished masters, and the option to keep going as a series if the first one lands.

Tell me what you're preaching next month

Twenty minutes, no cost, no pitch deck. Whether it turns into a film, a training session, or just a better idea of what AI can do for a church your size, you will get something useful out of the call.
