AI sermon prep software for preaching the
Timeless Word
with today's tools.

Not at all. SermonBuild is used by senior pastors, associate ministers, youth pastors, lay preachers, Bible teachers, and seminary students — anyone who prepares and delivers God's Word. Whether you preach weekly or occasionally, the tools adapt to your workflow and pace.

No — and that's intentional. SermonBuild's AI is designed to assist your process, not replace it. It can add theological depth, suggest scripture references, surface historical context, and help you think through ideas. You remain the author and the preacher. Your voice, your conviction, your message. The AI is the tool; you are the shepherd.

SermonBuild includes access to trusted, time-tested commentaries — including Chuck Smith's C2000 series, Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary, and others — directly inside the editor. You can search any scripture reference and read authoritative exposition without switching browser tabs or losing your train of thought.

Yes, absolutely. Every new account includes a full 14-day free trial with access to every premium feature — the AI assistant, commentary library, image generator, translator, study guide generator, everything. No credit card is required to start. You only need to add payment information when you choose to subscribe after your trial.

Founders Pricing is our special launch rate — $20/month or $216/year — available to early subscribers before May 1, 2026. When you subscribe at this rate, it is permanently locked in for the lifetime of your active subscription, even after regular pricing increases to $30/month. It's our thank-you to the pastors who trusted us early.

Yes — in multiple ways. You can generate a branded public study guide page (one link, no app needed for your congregation), share a Preach Mode link for live following, export to PDF or Word for bulletins, or share full sermons and series with other SermonBuild users. Your message, your audience, your format.

Yes. The sermon editor uses local IndexedDB storage alongside cloud sync, which means you can write and edit your sermons even without an internet connection. Your work is auto-saved every few seconds and synced to the cloud the moment you're back online. No lost work, no matter where you study.

Absolutely. SermonBuild can import Word documents (.docx) with AI-powered intelligent parsing that automatically identifies your sermon sections — scripture passages, main points, illustrations, applications, opening, and closing. Your existing library of sermons is welcome here.

SermonBuild's AI operates within carefully designed theological guardrails built by the SermonBuild team. Every AI feature — from the writing assistant to the theological companion — is prompted and constrained to stay within sound, orthodox Christian interpretation. The system is designed to support expository, Christ-centered preaching rooted in Scripture, not to speculate, sensationalize, or drift into fringe theology. That said, AI is a tool — not a theologian. We always encourage you to apply your own pastoral discernment, verify scripture references, and take full ownership of every word you preach. The guardrails keep the AI in its lane; your wisdom keeps the message faithful.

Most AI sermon tools do one thing — generate text. SermonBuild is a complete sermon preparation suite. Your subscription includes unlimited AI-generated sermon graphics and title slides at up to 4K resolution, one-click PowerPoint and PDF export, a full biblical commentary library, a voice-enabled theological AI companion, sermon series planning with calendar integration, multilingual sermon translation, congregation-ready study guide generation, Preach Mode for distraction-free delivery, and Word document import. Comparing SermonBuild to a basic AI text generator is like comparing a full recording studio to a single microphone. The price reflects what it actually replaces — multiple subscriptions, tools, and hours of your time each week.
