Churches and ministries looking for an always-on way to engage visitors and members with Scripture-grounded answers will find Faith Assistant a compelling solution. This AI-powered chatbot is trained on each organization's own content — sermons, Bible studies, event details, and more — so every response reflects that ministry's unique voice and teaching.^1
Originally launched as Bible Chat AI by co-founders Chase Cappo and Andrew Rogers, Faith Assistant was acquired by Gloo (Nasdaq: GLOO) in January 2025 and now runs on Gloo's Kingdom-Aligned Large Language Model (KALLM), purpose-built for faith-aligned conversations.^2 Organizations like Luis Palau Association, Concordia Lutheran Church, The Christian Post, and KCBI Radio use it to field questions, recommend resources, and even connect users with real staff or volunteers when the conversation calls for it.^3
Faith Assistant also provides a customizable brand experience — churches can match fonts, colors, and messaging to their identity — along with a dashboard of anonymized conversation insights, topic clustering, and trend analytics that help ministry leaders understand what their community is asking and how engagement is growing.^4
The platform also spearheaded an open-source initiative through aiforthechurch.org, making Christian AI models freely available on Hugging Face and GitHub for other developers to build on.^5
Why Ministries Love It"The platform lets us provide 24/7 answers, encouragement and support, which means we can serve our audience whenever they need us. It's also helped us think differently about how we engage listeners and even how we approach donors." — Emily Haring Thevarajoo, Digital Content Director, KCBI Radio^3
"Our journey has always been about using technology to support the Church's mission. Partnering with Gloo means we can expand that vision while staying true to our core values." — Andrew Rogers, Co-founder of Faith Assistant^2
