Learn AI & Social Media. Equip Your Media Team for the Age of AI.
Connected Church Academy gives church leaders and media teams of ministries / nonprofits the courses, the monthly live workshops and the community they need to use AI and social media well. No jargon. No hype. Simple, doable, actionable.
Here's what you get when you join
The technology is moving faster than your team can learn it.
Most church media teams are volunteers with day jobs. The tools change every month, the advice online contradicts itself, and nobody has time to sort the useful from the noise. So the work stalls β and the people you're trying to reach never hear from you.
Everyone says use it. Nobody shows you what to actually do on Monday morning.
You post faithfully every week and the numbers don't move.
No one else in your church speaks media, and there's no one to ask when you're stuck.
One membership. Four ways it changes how your team works.
Everything below is included the moment you join β nothing is sold separately, nothing is locked behind a higher tier.
The course library
Five full courses on AI, agentic AI, media production and YouTube β plus The Disrupted Church from Mark Schaefer. Watch at your pace, on any device.
Member-only workshops
Every month I teach a live session for members only β the newest trends, tools and strategies in AI and social media, with time for your questions.
The resource library
Downloadable PDFs, prompt libraries, checklists, content calendars and templates your team can use the same week they open them.
The community
Discussion forums where church leaders and media volunteers trade what's working, ask hard questions, and stop figuring it out alone.
Step-by-step courses. One clear path from confused to confident.
Start anywhere. Most members begin with AI Fundamentals and work forward β each course stands on its own, and every one of them is included in your membership.
AI Fundamentals
What AI actually is, what it can and can't do for ministry, and how to put it to work in your week without losing your voice or your integrity.
Agentic AI Foundations
The next step past chatbots: AI that carries out multi-step work for you. Learn to build agents that handle the repetitive parts of your media and admin load.
Media Fundamentals
The craft behind good church media β story, framing, sound, light and editing. Everything a new volunteer needs before they touch a livestream.
YouTube for Churches
How the platform actually decides who sees your sermon. Titles, thumbnails, retention and the habits that grow a channel instead of an archive.
The Disrupted Church
The forces reshaping how people find, join and stay connected to a congregation, and what leaders should do about it now.
New courses are added throughout the year. Your membership includes every one of them.

Agentic AI Foundations
The next step past chatbots: AI that carries out multi-step work for you. Learn to build agents that handle the repetitive parts of your media and admin load, and know where a person still needs to make the call.
One live session with me, every single month.
This is the part members tell me they value most. Once a month I go live and teach what has actually changed β the new tools worth your time, the trends that matter for ministry, the strategies working right now β then stay on to answer your questions.

Things you can use this week, not just watch
Every course comes with the working files behind it, and the library keeps growing.
You stop being the only person in the room who does this
Discussion forums for members only β organised by topic, moderated, and quiet on noise.
Natchi on stage / keynote (3:4)
I've spent my career translating technology for people doing ministry.
I'm a digital, AI and social media marketing consultant, a keynote speaker and an online educator. My work is with nonprofits, churches and faith-based organisations β helping them use the power of AI and media to serve people better. I co-founded Open Minds Agency to do that work at scale, and I built this academy to put the same training in the hands of teams who can't hire an agency.
I don't teach theory. I teach what I use with clients, broken down into simple, doable, actionable steps β because most of the people doing this work in churches are volunteers, and they need it to work on a Tuesday night with the equipment they already own.
The wise are glad to be instructed.
