The first AI platform that takes you from sermon planning to social media — all in one place. Research deeper. Prepare faster. Preach with confidence.
AI assists the process. The Holy Spirit guides the message.
Prepare with confidence, not anxiety
Behind every sermon is a pastor stretched thin — juggling preparation, family, counseling, and the weight of speaking truth every week.
The average pastor spends 15-18 hours preparing each sermon. That's 720+ hours a year — time stolen from family, prayer, and pastoral care.
Logos for research. Canva for graphics. PowerPoint for slides. Buffer for social. Planning Center for worship. You're paying for chaos.
It's 10 PM on Saturday. You're still tweaking your sermon. Your family is asleep. Sound familiar? 40% of pastors are at high risk of burnout.
One million+ bi-vocational pastors juggle full-time jobs AND ministry. You don't have 15 hours. You need a sermon in under 3.
“You didn't enter ministry to manage a tech stack.
You answered a calling.”
NextSermon is the first and only AI platform built specifically for pastoral ministry. We handle the entire journey — from annual sermon planning through research, writing, worship integration, slides, delivery, and social media. No more juggling tools. No more Saturday night stress. Just you, doing what you were called to do.

For the first time ever, your sermon preparation and worship planning work together. Our AI analyzes your sermon themes and suggests worship songs that match — creating cohesive services where every element reinforces your message.

Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer...”
Philippians 4:6 NIV
Point One
The Problem: Anxiety Steals Our Peace
Application
This Week's Challenge
Replace one worry with one prayer each morning this week.
...and that's why Paul tells us not to be anxious about anything.
But in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Notice the key phrase here: “with thanksgiving.” Paul isn't just telling us to pray...
He's reminding us to approach God with gratitude, even in our anxiety.

Preach with confidence
Preparation doesn't end when writing stops. Our delivery suite helps you rehearse, time your message, and deliver with confidence — whether you preach from a manuscript, outline, or somewhere in between.
Practical Example
Practicing your Easter sermon? Record yourself, check your timing (running long on point 2?), and nail the pronunciation of “Gethsemane” before Sunday.
When you're prepared, you're confident. When you're confident, you're present. Be fully present with your congregation.
One sermon. A week of content.
Your sermon shouldn't end on Sunday. NextSermon automatically extracts shareable quotes, generates branded graphics, creates carousel posts, and identifies video clip moments — giving you a week's worth of content from a single message.
Why We're Different
Pulpit AI and Pastors.ai do this AFTER your sermon. We integrate it THROUGHOUT your preparation — your social content is ready before you even preach.

No other platform covers the complete journey. From the moment inspiration strikes to the last social post — NextSermon is with you every step.
We built NextSermon on a fundamental conviction:
AI should assist, never replace.
NextSermon learns YOUR vocabulary, YOUR illustration style, and YOUR theological convictions. Every suggestion is a starting point — you shape the final message. The congregation hears YOU, not a machine.
“Only 25% of pastors are comfortable with AI writing sermons. We get it. That's why we assist the process, not replace it.”
We never claim AI can replace prayer, study, or spiritual discernment. NextSermon handles research, structure, and logistics — freeing you to hear from God and shepherd your people.
Think of NextSermon as a research assistant who never sleeps, a writing partner who helps you organize, and a media team that works for free. The calling is still yours.
Set your theological framework during onboarding — Calvinist, Arminian, Pentecostal, or other traditions. Our AI respects your convictions and filters suggestions accordingly.
Baptist? We won't suggest infant baptism illustrations.
Reformed? We honor your doctrinal distinctives.
You define the boundaries. We stay within them.
We serve pastors. We don't replace them.
Every feature exists to give you MORE time for prayer, MORE depth in study, and MORE presence with your congregation.
“I was skeptical about AI in ministry. But NextSermon doesn't feel like a shortcut — it feels like a gift. I'm more prepared, less stressed, and more present with my family.”
Trusted by pastors across denominations
1 million+ bi-vocational pastors deserve tools designed for their reality.
You work 40+ hours at your day job. You shepherd a congregation on nights and weekends. You have a family who needs you present. And somehow, you need to prepare a sermon every week.
You don't have 15-18 hours for sermon prep.
You might have 3-5. Maybe less.
We built NextSermon for you.
Quick sermon templates, pre-built outlines, and AI assistance that gets you to “ready” faster than ever before.
Our mobile app means you can research, write, and review wherever you are — not just at a desk you don't have time to sit at.
“Good enough” presets help you deliver solid, faithful messages without the perfectionism that steals your peace.
Our AI helps you connect your workplace experiences to biblical truth — illustrations your congregation can actually relate to.
“I'm a full-time teacher and a bi-vocational pastor. Before NextSermon, I was up until midnight every Saturday. Now I'm prepared by Wednesday and actually present with my family on weekends.”
Our Solo Pastor tier at $49/month — designed for bi-vocational reality.
Coming soon: Additional discounts for bi-vocational ministers.
Join thousands of bi-vocational pastors who've reclaimed their weekends.
From Baptist to Methodist to Pentecostal — NextSermon respects your theological convictions.
Every denomination has unique practices, worship styles, and theological emphases. NextSermon doesn't force you into a one-size-fits-all box. Set your tradition during onboarding, and our AI adapts to serve YOUR ministry.
...and more. Orthodox, Church of Christ, Assemblies of God, Seventh-day Adventist, and custom traditions supported.

Why We Built This
We built NextSermon because we've seen the Saturday night struggle firsthand. Pastors pouring their hearts into messages while juggling a hundred other responsibilities. The weight of knowing that Sunday's coming, and souls are depending on that word from God.
Here's what we believe: The Holy Spirit doesn't need AI to work. God has been speaking through preachers for thousands of years without technology. But we also believe that tools have always served the Kingdom, from the printing press that spread the Scriptures to the microphones that carry sermons to the back row.
NextSermon is simply a tool. A very capable tool, but a tool nonetheless. It can organize your research, suggest illustrations, format your slides, and handle the time-consuming tasks that pull you away from what matters most.
What it cannot do is replace your time in prayer. Your wrestling with the text. Your sensitivity to your congregation's needs. Your unique voice that God has given you.
We handle the mechanics. You bring the message.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.”
Colossians 3:23
From the founder:
As someone who has been part of the church community, I've seen the weight pastors carry week after week. NextSermon exists to give you back time for what only you can do: shepherd your people and deliver the word God has placed in your heart.
