FAQ

Questions churches usually ask

Does this work on any website?

Yes. ChurchBot works on virtually any website.

What is the benefit of using this?

ChurchBot turns your church website into an interactive experience available 24/7.

Can I choose what pages it gets content from?

Yes. You stay in full control of the content it uses.

Select exactly which pages it scans so the bot only answers from content you trust and want represented.

How does the live human chat feature work?

Updates depend on your plan.

Basic syncs weekly, Pro syncs every third day, and Premiere syncs daily so answers stay aligned with your latest events and announcements.
