Church AI technology that understands ministry, built by former pastors.
Church AI technology that understands ministry, built by former pastors.
We know the weight of the 2 AM crisis call. The guilt of missed follow-ups. The impossible choice between sermon prep and that family who needs you. We've been there, and we built something to help.
Earl had been working with churches for three decades. David was a lead pastor with a growing congregation. Both knew the same truth: modern ministry was crushing pastors. The endless calls, the administrative avalanche, the impossible expectation to be everywhere at once. Something had to change.
"I watched three of my closest pastor friends leave ministry in the same year. Not because they lost faith — because they lost themselves trying to do everything manually."
- Earl Ricker, ChairmanWhen David saw early AI voice technology, he didn't see a replacement for pastors — he saw a lifeline. What if AI could handle the operational burden so pastors could focus on what only humans can do: genuine connection, spiritual guidance, being present? The vision for Missional Agents was born.
With Jason Collier's expertise and the pastoral experience of the founding team, we built the AI receptionist we wished we'd had. One that understood the weight of a crisis call. One that knew "I need to talk to someone" might be a life-or-death moment. One that treated every caller like they mattered because they do.
What started as a solution to our own burnout now runs on proven technology: 20,000+ successful production deployments across our AI platforms. Every feature is tested in real church offices, under real, daily ministry pressure. We already serve founding churches across the country. And we are just getting started.
Former pastors and technologists united by a single mission: giving ministry leaders back their time and their calling.

Innovation
We're not building AI to replace the human heart of ministry. We're building AI to protect it. To give pastors back their time, their energy, and their calling. To ensure no one falls through the cracks. To transform the operational chaos of church administration into a system that actually works, so ministry can flourish.
Four commitments shape every decision we make. These values were not written in a boardroom; they were carried out of church offices, and they will never be negotiable.
Every feature we build starts with one question: Does this help pastors focus on people? If not, we don't build it.
AI should amplify human connection, not replace it. Our technology handles operations so humans can be more present.
Churches trust us with sensitive conversations. We treat that trust as sacred with enterprise security and ethical AI practices.
We're not satisfied with good enough. We push boundaries to give churches technology that's genuinely revolutionary.
