Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how we live, work, and communicate, and the Church is uniquely poised to harness this technology to spread the gospel. At Harvest, we’re excited to see how tools like AI can empower churches to impact their communities in profound ways. That’s why we’re thrilled about the recent developments with CALLM (Christian Aligned Large Language Model) and how they align with our vision for innovation in ministry through our Harvest AI™ Church Website Builder.
A Trusted Resource for the Church
CALLM, developed by Gloo.ai, is an exciting new tool that restores trust in AI by focusing on Christian-aligned, carefully curated content. At the recent AI & the Church Hackathon hosted at Gloo headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, developers gained access to CALLM, unlocking its potential to build faith-based AI applications.
This innovation couldn’t come at a better time. As Brad Hill, Chief Solutions Officer at Gloo, shared, many Christians hesitate to embrace AI due to concerns about the quality and reliability of the information it draws from. CALLM addresses these concerns by grounding its language model in trusted Christian content—from decades of resources like Christianity Today and teachings from ministries such as Ligonier.
Steele Billings, Managing Partner of Gloo Ventures & AI, explained it best:
“We created CALLM with the hope that it would drive people back to these faith-based pieces of content, the most powerful content sets in the world, and ultimately help people become all that they were created to be.”
At Harvest, we believe CALLM will be a vital resource for the Church, offering AI-driven insights that pastors, seminary students, and Christians can trust as they explore matters of faith and ministry.
The Role of AI in Ministry
AI has already proven to be a game-changer in countless industries, but for ministry, its potential is truly inspiring. CALLM represents the kind of innovation that bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and timeless spiritual truths. By leveraging AI tools like CALLM, churches can:
- Answer faith-based questions with biblically aligned resources.
- Enhance community engagement through personalized AI-driven communication.
- Equip ministry leaders with data-informed strategies to serve their congregations better.
Kenny Jahng, Founder of AI for Church Leaders, highlighted:
“In the ministry context, we need our own innovation to happen with the feedback loop with our own communities. And [CALLM (Christian Aligned Large Language Model)] is just one of the shining lights in that space.”
