Church AI: Deploying God's Agents

S16 E6·Sep 23, 2026·51 min·Season 16

About this episode

Four years ago, Iryll helped a friend plant a church and learned just how much time pastors spend doing admin. Now he's raising $600,000 for Church AI, an operating system that runs the back office so pastors can get back to their people. But will the church market sound big enough to a room of VCs?

This is The Pitch for Church AI. Featuring investors Elizabeth Yin, Jesse Middleton, Mike Ma, Charles Hudson, and Yasmin Cruz Ferrine.
