The Bluegrass Christian Fellowship (BCF) exists to encourage, strengthen, and connect pastors and church leaders across Central Kentucky. Our next gathering on Tuesday, May 12 is designed for a highly interactive panel and table discussions around the topic of AI and ministry. This is part of BCF’s ongoing commitment to walk alongside pastors not just through events, but through long-term encouragement, relationships, and leadership development. We are “building healthy churches by building healthy leaders.”
AI is shifting how people learn, communicate, find community, and make decisions. AI tools are becoming widely used in education, business, and everyday life. The purpose of this panel is to help pastors think wisely, biblically, and practically about how these tools intersect with ministry. The goal is conversation and shared learning, not a lecture.
We will explore the current AI landscape, latest tools that are relevant for ministry, best practices for AI use, and fears and challenges for ministry teams and leaders. Whether you’re already planning your tasks and daily routines through AI systems, consider yourself a beginner, or anywhere in between, this will be a valuable opportunity to think critically, learn collaboratively, and consider how these tools can serve the mission of the Church in a faithful and responsible way.
