Katie gave an outstanding workshop on AI at our conference. She was our first thought when we discussed presenters for our online conference. Her practical, accessible approach to AI for communicators is exactly what our members need.
AI for ministry training
Churches learning to use AI, hands-on.
Katie has trained dozens of ministry leaders, church staff, and communicators to use AI tools with confidence. Here's what participants said after her hands-on AI for Churches workshops.
Rated 5 out of 5
I feel very comfortable with my understanding of the various AI apps! The clarity of instruction was extremely clear and the hands-on activities were extremely helpful.
Rated 5 out of 5
The most valuable insight was learning about the camera on ChatGPT, recording meetings with Otter.ai, and using Illustrator Generative AI to create vector art. It was a real fun workshop. Loved every bit of it!
Rated 5 out of 5
I gained valuable insights into how to prompt effectively and discovered the wide variety of AI tools available. The instruction was very clear and helpful. I'm already planning to generate June social media content and refine a bishop's appeal letter I started in the workshop.
Rated 5 out of 5
The most helpful aspect was watching how AI works in real time. It really expanded my knowledge on how to use ChatGPT. I walked away much more comfortable and excited to apply these tools to our ministry communications.

Recommendations from church leaders, Meta colleagues, clients, and collaborators.
Katie Allred is a consultant I have used for years and will continue to rely on. When I engaged her to overhaul my website, she brought technical expertise that was matched by thoughtful counsel on structure, messaging, and presentation. Her service was well-rounded, meeting every need I brought to her, from the technical build to strategic direction. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a consultant who combines skill, judgment, and dependability.
Katie KNOWS community! I saw her bring so much wisdom to how Facebook could support the needs of community leaders, bringing real-world experience to the table along with strong academic credentials. She led workshops for partners, forged key relationships, and always championed her team. I recommend Katie for her dedication to growth, deep knowledge of community management, and supportive management style.
Katie helped me make a massive shift in my business. Having an outside perspective was so good. I feel so much more in alignment with my brand and services after working with Katie.
I had the pleasure of reporting to Katie at Meta. Her ability to mentor a team while managing the outcome of multiple work streams speaks volumes about her business acumen and leadership skills. Her blend of technical acumen, strategic thinking, and leadership skills make her an invaluable asset in any group or organization.
It's an extremely rare skill to be able to thoughtfully cultivate and sustain healthy connection in online communities and I've been able to watch Katie do just that through Church Communications. She shines heads and shoulders above most with her ability to lead and communicate what matters most.
Katie cares about the local church and she cares that it communicates its message with excellence. You add that caring and commitment to the personality, including spunk, that she has, and you have someone who can serve your church well.
Katie is the pro when it comes to digital communication strategies and ideas, especially for churches and nonprofits. She's innovative, well-informed, and open to new ways of doing things. Skilled in website development, social media marketing, teaching, and public speaking.

Thank you, Katie. This was a most beneficial event. It made a real difference for me.
I had the pleasure of working with Katie as a graduate student and then as a Teaching Assistant. She was energetic, genuinely loved the subject matter, and actively participated in discussions, a teacher's dream student. She cared about her students and always had a great positive attitude. I know everywhere she goes, she will make an impact.
I had the pleasure of working with Katie in a capstone Strategic Management course. This course requires the ultimate in critical-thinking, writing, and oral communication skills, and Katie exhibited stellar performance in all categories. I would recommend Katie without a moment's hesitation!
I've known Katie for 15 years, and I've witnessed nothing but wholehearted excellence in her work and presence. She's not only a gifted technologist, but a sharp communicator. Katie Allred is quality!
