What makes AlignedAI different

The name says it: everything is aligned — with your doctrine, your translations, your church context, and your voice.

Aligned with your doctrine

Configure your theological tradition, statement of faith, and church context. AlignedAI answers from your convictions instead of flattening them into generic, lowest-common-denominator advice.

Trained on your voice

Upload sermons, your website, and documents to build a Church Brain. Drafts come back in your tone and vocabulary — not a stranger's — so what you publish still sounds like you.

Privacy-first by design

Your sermons, member notes, and church data stay yours. AlignedAI is built for the sensitive realities of ministry, not a public chatbot you have to second-guess.

Far beyond sermon repurposing

A personal AI assistant over SMS, daily briefs with church KPIs, and 40+ integrations that automate real church busywork — most tools stop at turning a sermon into social posts. AlignedAI doesn't.

Why we built AlignedAI

AlignedAI was built by Jonathan Bodnar. After building and exiting a successful church management and giving platform, Jonathan spent years in the B2B private sector building multi-million-dollar SaaS products — and saw, up close, how far artificial intelligence had outrun what most ministries were using.

The spark was personal. His best friend, a pastor in McKinney, Texas, was amazed by AI at first — until he kept trying to get ChatGPT to write a doctrinally-aligned message that actually sounded like him. Without training on sound doctrine and a real corpus of church data and sermons, the output was shallow, off in tone, and unusable in a real church setting. That gap became AlignedAI.

The conviction behind it is simple: AI is far more powerful than most pastors realize, and the church deserves tools built at an enterprise level — quality, speed, and ease of use — that stay aligned with a church's doctrine and voice.

Not just sermon repurposing, but true AI tools, assistant features, integrations, and automations in service of the mission. And free wherever it can be, because a resource pastors need shouldn't be locked behind $20-a-sermon pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Is AlignedAI really free?

Yes. Pastors and church leaders get 200 free requests every month — enough for weekly sermon prep plus Bible studies and church communications — with no credit card required. We only charge for things that cost real resources to produce (like unlimited usage and the Pro assistant + automations).

How does it stay aligned with my doctrine?

During setup you choose your tradition, statement of faith, and preferred Bible translations. AlignedAI grounds its answers in that context and in Scripture, so it respects your denominational distinctives instead of giving generic theology.

Is my church's data private?

Yes. Your sermons, documents, and member information stay yours and are used to serve you — not to train a public model. AlignedAI is built for the privacy realities of ministry.

Does AlignedAI replace the pastor's work?

No. It's a tool, not a substitute for prayer, study, or shepherding. AlignedAI restructures and accelerates work using your content and voice — pastors still seek God and lead. It exists to increase your capacity for ministry, not to do the ministry for you.

What can it do besides write sermons?

A lot: Greek and Hebrew word studies, Bible study and devotional generation, a private journal, an AI assistant you can text for scheduling and email, daily briefs with church KPIs, and automations that pull from tools like Planning Center to generate instant reports.
