review Collie with your church board

Review Collie with your church board

Church boards do not need an AI sales pitch. They need a clear decision packet: what Collie does, what it refuses, what data it can use, who approves outputs, and how success will be measured.

Quick answer

Review Collie with your church board by presenting the approved use cases, church AI boundaries, data-source rules, Pending approval workflow, pilot plan, and the list of work Collie will never automate.

Steps

  1. 1. Start with the plain-language product answer: Explain that Collie is an AI pastor assistant for pastors and church staff that drafts ministry work, searches approved context, prepares follow-up, and waits for human approval.
  2. 2. Show the guardrails: Review the hard boundaries: no sermon generation, no counseling or confessional content processing, no AI summaries about specific children, no writable financial actions, and no auto-send.
  3. 3. Review the first workflows: Choose one or two pilot workflows such as visitor follow-up, weekly communications, board packet preparation, or sermon repurposing from existing material.
  4. 4. Confirm data sources: Name which church sources Collie may reference and which sources stay out of the workspace.
  5. 5. Define the decision checkpoint: Set a review date, success measures, and the person responsible for pausing or expanding the rollout.

Board questions to answer

A board review should make the operating model concrete before staff start using Collie broadly.

  • What church work may Collie help with first?
  • What data is approved for Collie to use?
  • Who reviews each draft before it leaves the platform?
  • What should churches never automate with AI?
  • How will leaders know whether the pilot is working?

Related questions

What should a board ask before adopting Collie?

Ask which workflows are approved, what data sources are allowed, who reviews outputs, what is prohibited, how audit and support will work, and when the pilot will be reviewed.

Can a board restrict Collie to only visitor follow-up or communications?

Yes. A healthy rollout can start with one or two narrow workflows and expand only after leaders review the results.
