Church media teams know the struggle: your pastor just preached a powerful sermon, but turning it into social media content takes hours you don't have. Sermon Shots is an AI-powered platform that repurposes sermons into ready-to-post clips, quote images, carousels, devotionals, discussion guides, blog posts, sermon summaries, and more — in minutes instead of hours.^1
Upload your sermon via YouTube, local file, or livestream, and Sermon Shots' AI analyzes the message to suggest 5–15 clips, generate captions with hashtags, and extract quotes and Bible verses. The AI Camera Crew feature automatically tracks your speaker's movement for professional-looking vertical video, even from a single wide-angle camera — upgraded in June 2026 with smarter tracking, a rebuilt layer editing system, and the ability to build and save custom templates for weekly reuse.^1 Smart Search lets you find moments by topic — not just exact keywords — so you can locate the most impactful parts of any message fast. A built-in Social Sharing feature lets you post clips and graphics directly to your connected social accounts without downloading.^1 Newer editor tools include Caption Animation styles, a Trim Video tool that cuts filler words and dead air from the middle of a clip while captions follow the edit, and Social Scripts, which turn a sermon into ready-to-record short video scripts with a built-in teleprompter.^1 Sermon dubbing is now built into Sermon Shots itself, translating a pastor's voice into dozens of languages.^16
Founded in 2022 by Corey Alderin and Josh Wiley, Sermon Shots grew out of conversations with pastors who saw big churches posting short-form content all week but couldn't match it with their own time and budget. Corey previously built ChristianQuotes.info (one of the first Christian Facebook pages to reach 5 million followers) and Book Brush (a design tool now used by 200,000+ self-published authors — the second of his two SaaS products to cross $1M ARR). He serves on the leadership team at Realife Church in New Palestine, Indiana. A "2x $1M+ ARR SaaS founder," Corey represented Sermon Shots at the Missional AI Global Summit in Silicon Valley (April 2026) and appeared on the REACHRIGHT Podcast with Ed Stetzer, Dean of Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, discussing AI and the local church.^2^14
The platform was named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America and now serves over 8,000 churches worldwide with a team of 25+.^2^16 Sermon Shots is part of a growing suite that includes Sermon Pages (shareable sermon pages, formerly Sermon Send) and SermonLive (real-time sermon translation in 30+ languages), giving churches a complete toolkit for extending their Sunday message throughout the week.^1
