The first AI-native church management platform

Your congregation is not training data.

Full schema access. PII Guard active. Role-gated by design — not by policy.

After you sign up, ACS Technologies provisions your MinistryPlatform tenant — then your point of contact receives an activation email.

The Problem

Churches want AI. Not at the cost of privacy.

When staff drop giving records, family situations, or pastoral notes into consumer AI tools, that data may enter model-training pipelines. Most churches don't know it's happening. Existing church AI tools weren't built for the breadth of your MinistryPlatform schema — or the sensitivity of sacred data.

Powerful, or safe. Until now, you had to pick.

01
Consumer AI Tools
May train on your member data by default. No role awareness, no schema awareness.
02
Church Giving Apps
Giving data only — a slice of your MP schema, not the whole picture. Care, groups, attendance left behind.
03
Generic AI Assistants
No MinistryPlatform context. No integration. Hallucinates against your data, can’t audit anything.
04
Untailored Enterprise AI
No role controls, no audit trail, no PII Guard. Built for marketing teams, not ministry teams.
Safe AI Strategy

Four interlocking controls. One trustworthy product.

We didn't bolt safety onto a chatbot. PII Guard, role-gating, audit, and table-level kill switches are the architecture — not a policy page.

01
PII Guard

Every response inspected before it reaches the conversation.

An active safety layer, not a privacy notice. PII Guard runs before data reaches the model, scrubbing what your role isn’t allowed to see — in real time, with logging.
MP Query → PII GUARD → Model → Staff
02
Role-Based Access

Mirrors your existing MP roles — enforced at the API.

If a staffer can’t see donor names in MP today, they can’t see them through MP AI tomorrow. Role rules live where data lives, not in a separate prompt-engineered policy.
Native MP roles
03
Full Audit Trail

Every query and every data point logged — customer-reviewable.

Open the trail. See the question, the tables touched, the rows returned, the user behind it. Built for board reviews, denominational audits, and your CFO’s peace of mind.

04
Table & Field Level Control

Turn any table — or individual field — off entirely. Sensitive data stays off-limits.

Pastoral notes too sensitive? Lock the whole table. Just need to hide a single column like SSN or notes? Field-level toggle. The product still works — the data is invisible. Granular kill switches mean you don’t have to choose between AI and trust.
Exclude Tables. Mask or Block Fields.
The Competitive Edge

If you can see it in MinistryPlatform, you can access it via MCP.

Ephemeral context Never trains any model Yours alone
Bring your own chat

Use the AI you already love. Connected to your MP data.

MinistryPlatform AI ships as an MCP server — the open standard for AI tools and data. Connect your favorite chat client and ask questions of your real MP schema. No new app to learn. No data leaving your platform unsupervised.

Claude is our reference client and where our testing runs deepest. Every other client signs in through the same standard OAuth flow — supported, and marked Beta while we broaden coverage.

Why MinistryPlatform AI

Most church AI tools play with a fraction of your data.

We built MP AI on the same schema you already operate in. Every table, every custom field, every role — surfaced through one consistent, audited interface.

Most church AI tools
  • Giving data only
  • No custom-table access
  • Consumer model — data risk
  • No audit trail
  • Generic roles, not MP-aware
  • One data category at a time
MinistryPlatform AI
  • Every table in your MP schema
  • Custom tables fully accessible
  • PII Guard — zero data risk
  • Full audit trail, customer-reviewable
  • Mirrors your MP role configuration
  • Your entire data model, all at once
Built for ministry, not marketing

Six roles. One product. Every MP church.

MP AI mirrors how your team actually works. Different questions, different tables, different access — same platform, same audit.

Congregation health in 12 seconds.

“How are we doing this quarter — attendance, giving, care, groups?”
03

Audit-ready finance reports on demand.

Self-service for every department.

“How many students aged 12–18 are in a small group right now?”
06
Denominational Leader

Safe-AI proof point for the entire diocese.

“Can I roll MP AI to 40 churches without changing role policy?”
Proven by the Pioneer Program

60 churches built it first.

From May to July 2026, 60 MinistryPlatform churches ran MP AI against their own live schemas — filing the queries that broke, the columns we'd mislabeled, and the reports they actually needed on a Monday morning. Everything on this page was proven there before it was offered to you.

P1
60 founding churches
All of them signed on before general availability — single-site plants through multi-campus staffs.
P2
Sixteen tools, ten weeks
Schema discovery, reporting, selections, page views, templates. Pioneer requests set the order they shipped in.
P3
Monthly calls that changed the product
Pioneers brought the queries that failed. Those turned into fixes and safeguards, not backlog tickets.
Upcoming Webinars

Three live sessions between now and year-end.

Live demos — no slides. See MP AI run against real MinistryPlatform schemas. Bring your hardest question. Open to every MP AI client and any church still evaluating it.
