Today we’re launching the AI for Church Hackathon.
One month. Fully online. Free to enter. Cash prizes.
Build AI software that helps churches disciple, care, reach, and serve.
Here’s why this matters to me. After 15+ years in church technology, I’ve watched ministry leaders drown in admin work that keeps them from the people they’re called to love. AI can change that, but only if the people building it understand the Church. So we’re calling the builders who do.
How it works:
Build window: October 30 through November 27
Submit a project in one of five tracks: Discipleship & Spiritual Growth, Church Operations & Admin, Outreach & Evangelism, Care & Community, or Open Track
Submissions need a 5-minute demo video. A live demo link and repo are optional
Judging November 28 to 30, winners announced live on December 1
Our sponsor @Lovable is giving every participant 100 free credits, so you can start building the day you register. Solo or team, developer or pastor with an idea, you’re welcome.
Registration is open now at aiforchurch.com/hackathon
