AI Training for Ministry & Work (BC-415)

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing how we search for information, communicate, and create. This course trains ministers to leverage AI as a powerful servant technology to steward time, resources, and creativity effectively for the Kingdom.

About This Course

Artificial Intelligence is not merely a secular productivity tool; it can become an important servant technology for the Church. From analyzing data and managing projects to writing and conducting research, AI presents unprecedented opportunities for ministers to steward their time and knowledge more effectively.

"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." — Ephesians 5:15-16

The objective of this course is to train ministers to become effective human workers who know how to engage with AI tools responsibly, intelligently, and purposefully. You will learn to work alongside autonomous AI Assistants functioning as "Digital Coworkers." Most importantly, the curriculum emphasizes strong ethical boundaries, ensuring students learn how to leverage AI technology in ministry without ever displacing human connection, prayer, or personal pastoral responsibility.

What You Will Learn

  • A biblical framework for adopting AI as a "servant technology" to steward time and ministry resources.
  • Durable, transferable AI concepts including prompting, context, tokens, and model selection.
  • Advanced AI principles such as memory, governance, guardrails, observability, and evaluation.
  • How to train and utilize autonomous AI Agents to function effectively as Digital Coworkers.
  • The ethical boundaries of AI: maximizing technological leverage without displacing people, prayer, or pastoral duty.
