Most church AI conversations focus on tools for staff. But what changes when AI becomes part of the public church website?
In this session, I’ll share how ONE&ALL Church is building and testing an AI-first experience on top of Rock RMS. The public AI concierge helps visitors plan a visit, find messages, explore groups and serving opportunities, discover events, and connect with care using approved public content and guarded, structured responses.
We’ll walk through the concept, demonstrate the working experience, unpack the architecture and build process, and examine the tools used both inside and outside Rock. I’ll also share what worked, what did not, and the practical tradeoffs involving accuracy, privacy, security, content freshness, cost, performance, and long-term maintenance.
Finally, we’ll explore WebMCP, an emerging browser standard that allows websites to expose safe, structured capabilities directly to AI agents. Attendees will leave with a practical architecture pattern, a guardrail checklist, and realistic first steps for making their own websites more useful to both people and AI.
