Sermon prep can eat up a pastor's week. Between commentaries, cross-references, outlines, and illustrations, the writing process often takes longer than the preaching itself. Sermonly was built to fix that — an all-in-one sermon writing platform designed specifically for pastors, by pastors.^1
A product of Tithely — the church tech platform trusted by over 50,000 churches in 50 countries — Sermonly brings sermon writing, research, and organization under one roof.^2 At its core is a clean, distraction-free writing environment with built-in Bible access across multiple translations, so you can move between writing and Scripture without switching tabs.^1
What sets Sermonly apart is its AI Researcher, which helps pastors generate sermon outlines, character studies, historical context, and modern-day illustrations of biblical topics. Think of it as a research assistant that can surface insights in seconds — not to replace the pastor's voice, but to accelerate the discovery process.^3 Sermonly also offers a Snippets feature with a Chrome extension, letting pastors clip quotes, articles, and content from around the web into a personal library that's always ready to pull into a sermon.^4
Practical details matter too: a read-only preaching mode prevents accidental edits while you're in the pulpit, customizable templates help maintain your sermon structure week to week, and tags keep your growing sermon library searchable.^1 You can import existing sermons from Word, Pages, or text files, so nothing gets left behind. Sermonly works across desktop, web, and mobile (iOS), meaning your sermons follow you wherever you go.^5
Sermonly operates on a subscription model with monthly and annual plans, and offers a 7-day free trial so pastors can experience the full platform before committing.^1
