AI Training
Helena, MT
AI will be more profound for humanity than fire or electricity
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google on the significance of AI
It’s undeniable that AI is a fast-growing technology with profound and largely unknown ramifications. As it makes its way into nearly every sphere of business and life, a question emerges: what are the best uses for AI in ministry contexts? Between the two poles of ignoring it and having it prep and deliver sermons, there exists a balance that is useful for the Kingdom.
This January we are pleased to welcome Bill Giovannetti to help us explore this question. Bill is an Alliance pastor with years of experience in both the ministry and the tech worlds, and as such he is a capable guide in this arena. During our time together we will cover such topics as:
– Practical applications of AI in church administration, outreach, and pastoral ministry
– Biblical and ethical frameworks for evaluating AI tools
– Hands-on training with current ministry AI technologies
COST
The District Advance Fund will cover all expenses once you arrive. You are only responsible for your travel to and from the event.
