"Artificial Intelligence is here. Does it help or hurt your ministry? In AI Goes to Church, pastor and scholar Todd Korpi explores the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on modern society and the challenges and opportunities it presents forChristian leaders, pastors, and communities. As AI tech evolves in both its sophistication and its widespread use, the church must grapple with ethical questions, societal implications, and new ways of ministering to their communities and with their congregations. This timely and thought-provoking book provides a roadmap for those who seek to understand and navigate the complex intersection of faith, technology, and the human experience. Drawing upon biblical principles, theological insights, and real-world examples of ministry AI, Korpi delves into the implications of AI on the church's role in social justice, pastoral care, evangelism, and discipleship. He addresses pressing concerns such as job displacement, privacy, and the potential misuse of AI, while offering hope and guidance for Christians to harness the power of technology to further God's kingdom. This practical theology of AI encourages readers to embrace the potential of AI as a tool for positive change, while remaining grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ and his vision for human flourishing"-- Provided by publisher
