About MinistryAtlas
We build governed intelligence systems for churches. Evidence-first. Human-first. Privacy-first.
Our Mission
We believe AI should serve the church without replacing human ministry. Our platform helps members discover teaching and connect with care, while giving church leaders the tools to govern content lifecycle and measure outcomes.
MinistryAtlas is not a sermon library. It's a governed intelligence layer that makes your teaching discoverable by meaning, keeps it current through freshness governance, and routes people to real humans when they need care.
We're committed to evidence-first answers, consent-first care routing, and privacy-first design. No surveillance. No behavioral tracking. No replacing the humans who do the actual ministry.
Our Values
Evidence-First
Every answer includes timestamps and approved citations. We never guess. We never hallucinate. If we don't have evidence, we say so.
Human-First
AI assists, humans minister. Consent-based routing ensures people connect with real care teams. Anonymous by default until they choose to share.
Privacy-First
No behavioral tracking. No surveillance. No cross-church data sharing. Your church's data stays with your church.
Transparency
AI-generated content is clearly labeled. Privacy policies in plain language. Open about what AI does and doesn't do.
Our Team
We're a small team of engineers, designers, and ministry practitioners who believe technology should serve the church without replacing human connection.
Our backgrounds span church ministry, AI research, product design, and software engineering. We've seen both the promise and the pitfalls of AI in ministry contexts, and we're committed to building tools that respect human dignity and pastoral care.
We're backed by investors who share our values and understand that ministry technology requires a different approach than consumer tech.
Why We Built This
The Problem
Churches produce incredible teaching content, but it's trapped in chronological sermon libraries. Members can't find the specific moment they need. Staff spend hours curating playlists. Care requests get lost in email.
The Wrong Solution
Generic AI chatbots that hallucinate answers, replace human care with automation, and treat churches like any other customer. Surveillance-based analytics that track individual behavior.
Our Approach
A governed intelligence layer that makes teaching discoverable by meaning, keeps it current through lifecycle management, and routes people to real humans with consent and dignity. Evidence-first. Human-first. Privacy-first.
