Claude for Churches: Using AI to Get Real Work Done

Brad Zimmerman
You’ve used AI to write an email or generate an image, but you know there has to be more. What if AI could clean up your entire church database, build the reports your ChMS doesn’t give you, or take a repeating task off your plate for good? This class is for the church leader, communicator, or staff member who’s ready to move past one-off prompts and start using AI as a teammate. This class will help you spend less time on a computer and more time developing and discipling people.

Key Takeaways

Understand the difference between Claude Chat, Claude Co-work, and Claude Code and when to use each.
See real, reproducible examples of AI doing actual project work, including cleaning up a messy church database and building reports your church management software won’t give you on its own.
Learn how to work *with* AI on your own tasks, so you walk out with a clear next step, not just inspiration or a one off answer.
