"Every pastor is already making a decision about AI.”

In Session 1 of the May 2026 Quarterly Collective, Mark MacDonald challenges pastors and ministry leaders to navigate AI with wisdom, clarity, and intentional leadership, not fear.

As AI continues to shape culture, the Church must be even clearer about who we are, what we stand for, and how we lead people toward Christ.

Watch the session now and hear why Spirit-led pastors — not AI — are the future of the Church.

There’s something about genuine worship. Jesus is our only Hope.

The reason we sing. And worship.

And the only reason I can speak to a room packed with Pastors and Ministry Leaders.

Thank you Bob Bumgarner and First Coast Churches for your leadership and organization to keep Pastors from feeling alone.

Don’t Pastor Alone.

AI is already reshaping ministry. Some pastors are embracing it too quickly. Others are avoiding it altogether. But neither extreme is the answer.

This gathering is designed to help church leaders navigate AI wisely, without compromising their voice, message, or calling.

If you’re leading a church in 2026, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
