Questions pastors ask.
If yours isn't here, just reply to any of our emails.
What is PastorPrep?
PastorPrep is AI sermon prep and church bulletin software for solo, small-church, and bivocational pastors. You upload a few past sermons, it learns how you preach, and each week it drafts a sermon in your voice with every Bible verse checked against your translation. When the sermon is done, it drafts your bulletin from it: order of service, hymns, prayer, and announcements, ready to print. It costs $19 a month, and founding pastors keep that price.
Can AI help write a sermon without replacing the pastor?
That is the whole design. PastorPrep drafts and you preach. It works like a research assistant that has read your sermons: it suggests outlines, drafts sections in your voice, and cites Scripture from your translation, and every word passes through your hands before Sunday. Most pastors we talk to draw the line at "help me study and start, don't write it for me," and that is exactly where PastorPrep sits.
Is this just ChatGPT in a fancy wrapper?
No. PastorPrep is trained on your past sermons, grounds every Bible reference in canonical text, follows your denominational tradition, and produces a complete Sunday workflow including your bulletin. ChatGPT can do a piece of this if you prompt it carefully for an hour. PastorPrep does it in fifteen minutes — and sounds like you.
Will my congregation know I'm using AI?
You write the final sermon. PastorPrep drafts; you edit, refine, and preach. The goal isn't a sermon that sounds different — it's a pastor who isn't running on empty by Sunday morning.
What about theological accuracy?
Every Bible reference is pulled from canonical text — no paraphrasing, no hallucinations. Denominational presets keep theological vocabulary inside your tradition. That said: you are the theologian. PastorPrep drafts. You check. You preach.
Will it work for my denomination?
We're launching with Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Episcopal, nondenominational, Pentecostal, and Reformed traditions. Catholic, Orthodox, Mennonite, and Brethren come next — the bar for liturgical precision is higher there, and we'd rather do them right than fast. Tell us your tradition on the signup form; it directly shapes the order we build.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. One click in your account. No phone call, no retention specialist, no "are you sure?" maze. Your data exports cleanly when you go.
Are my sermons private?
Yes. Always. We never use your sermons to train any model. They're stored encrypted and accessible only to you. We mean it — this is in our terms of service, not just our marketing.
When does it launch?
October 1, 2026, which is also the day Microsoft Publisher shuts off for good. Founding pastors get access first, in waves through September — we want to onboard slowly so we can help each pastor get set up right. Beta invites go out every Monday at 9am ET, and the founding price locks until October 1.
What's a design partner?
The first 10 pastors from this waitlist who opt in. You get PastorPrep free for your entire first year and first access at launch. In exchange: use it for your real Sunday prep and take one 20-minute feedback call a month. If it serves you well, we may ask to quote you — by name, with your written permission, never invented.
Who's behind this?
Right now, PastorPrep is built by Vivian — see her note at the top of the page. Small on purpose: when you reply to an email, the person who reads it is the person building the product.
