1
Study the Text
Ask the Research Assistant anything about a passage, idea, or thinker. You get a sourced answer drawn from commentaries, journals, classic works, podcast conversations, sermons from other churches, Greek & Hebrew word studies, and the church’s great theologians.
2
Search Your Own Preaching
Most pastors have years of sermons in a folder. Preachly turns yours into a library you can talk to. Ask the Sermon Librarian:
When was the last time I preached on discipleship? How has what I say about forgiveness changed? Who do I quote most?
If you’re already posting sermons online, we can bring them in for you during your free trial with no uploading required.
3
Hear the Wider Church
Learn how preachers across time, traditions, and geography handled the passage you’re working on. Hear what preachers in your local community are talking about each week. Find new connections between contemporary Christian thinkers across the country.
Principles
Preachly won’t write your sermon. Preachly is a research assistant and not a pastor. We gather, organize, and cite source documents. You read, pray, discern, write, and preach.
Citing original sources. Preachly transparently cites all sources it uses to reach its answers to your questions. It is not an AI black box.
Ecumenical. We purposefully index content from a range of Christian traditions, both contemporary & ancient. We want to see pastors draw on many streams of Christian thought in their preaching & teaching ministries.
Pastors using Preachly serve at churches including:

General AI tools answer questions using what they remember of the internet. Preachly searches a collection of theological scholarship, sermons, and podcasts that have already been read and indexed, and it footnotes its answers so you can open the sources themselves.
-
No, Preachly will not write your sermon.
-
The library is built from publicly available theological writing (commentaries, journal articles, classic books, and teaching resources), alongside sermons and podcasts that churches and ministries publish online. Preachly indexes them so they can be found by passage, person and tradition, attributing every quotation and linking back to the original source.
-
Often, yes. If your church already posts sermons online, tell us during your free trial and we'll bring them into your library, with new ones added as they're published. You can also upload PDF, Word or text files anytime. Any files you upload yourself are private to your account.
-
Preachly is primarily built for pastors, priests, and church leaders. It is also used by chaplains, bi-vocational ministers, seminarians, and theology students.
-
Preachly is non-denominational. The library brings together works and voices from across Christian traditions, ancient and modern, Protestant and Catholic, evangelical and mainline. You can ask Preachly to conduct research within your own denomination or the wider Christian landscape.
-
No. Your messages and user-uploaded materials are used to answer your own questions, and they aren't used to train AI models.
