AI is here. We'd rather be ahead of it than behind it.
Artificial intelligence is changing how every industry communicates and the church is no exception. At Foundations, our communications team is committed to staying at the leading edge of these tools, not because it's trendy, but because our mission is too important to leave time and capacity on the table.
We've put together a set of resources to help you start using AI with confidence. But before you dive in, here's the most important thing to understand: AI is a tool, not a replacement. Think of it like getting a faster computer. The machine doesn't do the work for you, it just helps you do it better and faster. The discernment, the story, the heart behind the message — that's still yours.
This page will keep growing as we discover new ways to help our team move with both speed and excellence in the mission to bring the extraordinary life of Jesus to a lost and broken world.

This is your on-brand writing assistant, available whenever you need it. The Foundations GPT was built to help our team produce written copy that sounds like Foundations — stage announcements, emails, parent communications, event promos, volunteer recruitment copy, and more.
Here's how to set it up...

• Click the Foundations GPT button below  to open the persona page.
• Review the details about its purpose, tone, and key features.
• Then click the dropdown arrow next to the persona's name.
• Select Add to Chat or Add to Sidebar, and you're done.

From that point forward, on-brand written communication is one conversation away — just click it in your sidebar whenever you need it!

Think of this as Claude with a Foundations brain. We've built three brand files — one for Church, one for Youth, one for Kids — that give Claude everything it needs to produce content that looks and sounds like us. This system is especially powerful for formatted documents, branded emails, and anything where design and copy need to work together.
To get started...

• Copy/Download the set-up prompt below
• Paste/Upload that prompt at Claude.ai
• Then do the same with one of our custom claude codes depending on which brand you'd like
• Optional: On the left side click the three dots in your new chat and add conversation to a project to save for later use.
• Ask Claude what you'd like it to make

Pro Tip: if you get a document looking 80% of the way you'd like - download it and upload it to Canva for more direct control over design elements!
