Collie
by FlockConnect
Collie is your AI sheepdog.
She's not the shepherd — that's you.
The work a pastor doesn't have time for
Twelve skills shaped by real ministry workflows. Collie drafts, preps, and queues. Nothing leaves your desk without you saying yes.
Pastoral Care
- LivePlan Your Week Ahead. Monday 6am brief — what's on your week, who needs follow-up, what to pray about.
- LiveCounseling Appointment Prep. Factual context only — past visit dates, recent attendance, prayer requests on file. Never assessments.
- SoonNew Visitor Follow-up. Sunday 9pm scan of new PCO visitors → personalized follow-ups in your queue Monday morning.
- LivePastoral Care Tracking Light. Logs visits, hospital, funerals, weddings. Read-only writeup of facts. Searchable later.
- LiveChurch Search. "Find that email from John about the building project." Natural language search across connected tools.
Sermon Prep
- LiveSermon Repurposing. Audio in → social posts, devotional emails, small-group questions. Transformation only — never new sermon content.
- LiveReading List Manager. "What have I read on Romans 8?" Read-only over your library + past sermons.
Communications
- LiveWeekly Bulletin. Drafts based on the Planning Center service plan — hymns, scripture, announcements. Tuesday-by review.
- LiveWeekly Comms Cadence. Newsletter draft (Mailchimp), social posts, push notifications. All draft state.
Admin
- LiveBoard Meeting Prep. Pulls month's giving, attendance trends, ministry highlights. Long-running plan-then-execute.
- LiveVolunteer Coordination. Reads PCO Services, identifies gaps, drafts personalized asks ("Hey Sarah, would you greet the 25th?").
- LiveEvent Coordination. Multi-step skill: from event brief, generates volunteer needs, comms schedule, registration, room booking.
What Collie will never do
Technology should serve the shepherd, never replace the shepherd. These guardrails are enforced in code — not policy. They cannot be turned off by an admin or unlocked by a paid tier.
Never write a sermon
Transformation only — your audio becomes social posts, devotional emails, and small-group questions. Never new theology attributed to you.
Never process counseling content
Confessional, counseling, and crisis content is refused at the input layer. The AI never sees it.
Never auto-send
Every email, calendar invite, and post queues for your approval. There is no "let Collie handle it" mode.
Never derive about specific children
Adults enter rosters. Collie doesn't summarize, classify, or generate from minors' personal data.

Where Collie came from
Michael Tribett started FlockConnect after a close friend in his small group pulled him aside one day and said he was leaving the church. He'd been a member for almost two years and only really knew about three people.
The pastors had no idea. The friend looked perfectly fine on paper — showing up Sunday, in a small group, even serving. The relational data the church needed wasn't anywhere a ChMS could see it.
That moment shaped a conviction Michael keeps coming back to: technology should serve the shepherd, never replace the shepherd. FlockConnect tracks the relational layer your ChMS can't see — who knows whom, who's drifting, who's quietly about to leave.
Collie is its sheepdog. An AI assistant that takes the rest of the work off a pastor's plate — drafts, prep, follow-ups, the Sunday bulletin, the volunteer asks — so the pastor stays where they're needed most.
