As Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being woven into every aspect of modern technology, there can be many benefits—yet there are also aspects that cause concern. As a church leader, you have probably asked yourself the question: How should I use AI in my church? We want to help guide you as you answer this question. Join us December 15 at Second Baptist Church of Conway, as we discuss best practices for AI usage in the church world. All Arkansas Baptists are invited to attend at no cost, as everyone can find ways to benefit from this gathering.
