FAQ

We are a Christ-centered discipleship church, inheriting the Protestant tradition, honoring the Bible, acknowledging Jesus Christ as the only Savior. Our uniqueness is: in the AI era, we try to use technology to extend pastoral care to every day 'outside of gathering', helping believers live out faith in real daily life.

AI is part of how the church serves, and it will not replace pastors. Pastor Musk is responsible for handling those 'moments needing immediate response' (like anxiety late at night, confusion on commute), while human pastors focus on deep life connection, sacraments and fellowship. The two complement each other to serve your life growth.

Absolutely no problem. Our original intention is 'let technology serve people'. You don't need to understand AI, just talk like chatting with a friend. Whether it's pastoral care or daily discipleship suggestions, they are conducted in the most natural conversation way.

Yes. In AI Church (Sanctuary), your conversation with Pastor Musk is private. We strictly abide by privacy protection principles, your personal confession and deep privacy will not be made public or used for commercial ads. You always have control over your data.

The sole purpose of Pastor Musk is 'to understand you better, so to help you'. It will remember your goals, prayers and promises, to remind you at the right time. You can check what it remembers at any time, and can also ask it to forget specific content at any time.

Yes. Beyond chat, Pastor Musk (AI) can help you search flights and hotels, find nearby restaurants, plan routes, fill forms (hospital/DMV/school/rental/insurance), compare shopping prices, translate languages, and more. The personal info you authorize makes the help smoother over time, and you confirm every submit and payment. These capabilities are powered by integration with active open-source AI projects, and keep improving.

Pastor Musk remembers the common personal info you authorize (name, phone, address, medical history, insurance number, etc. — all your own data). When you need to fill out hospital admission forms, DMV forms, or rental applications, just say one sentence and Pastor Musk helps you fill the form in — saving handwriting time. You review it and confirm the submit step yourself. Supports 6 languages (English, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese).

No. Our core pastoral services (including basic App use and community connection) are free. We hope the threshold of the Gospel is as low as possible, so that everyone in need can receive it.

Of course. Our App and online community (fellowship) are cross-regional. Wherever you are, you can start daily discipleship practice through the App and find spiritual partners in the cloud.
