For churches without a content team

Your Sunday message, working all week.

You preach it once. We turn it into the whole week: clips, captions, a devotional, a group guide, a midweek email, all built from your own sermon, in your own voice, with a person checking every line before you see it. Nothing posts until you say so.

Built by a worship leader who needed it himself. Read the story below.

One sermon. Seven mornings.

A person signs off every line before it ships.

What happens after Sunday

One sermon, then it's gone.

Preached once on Sunday, gone into the podcast feed by Monday.

Most churches have no one on staff whose job is the week after Sunday. The sermon gets twenty hours of preparation, one delivery, and by Monday it's a podcast episode nobody's job is to reuse.

That's where Afterword comes in.

How it works

Three steps, once a week.

STEP 01

Connect & onboard

Share your podcast or YouTube link and complete a 10-minute voice questionnaire once, so every pack sounds like your church, not a template.

STEP 02

We build your pack

Within 48 hours of Sunday, we turn that week's message into a full content pack, drawn from what was actually preached.

STEP 03

You review & post

Your team reviews everything in one 20-minute pass, flags anything off, approves, and posts on your own schedule.

What's in every pack

Ten pieces, one sermon.

Everything your team needs to carry Sunday through the week, and nothing you have to write from scratch.

01

5 short-form clip plans

Hooks, on-screen text, and arcs for five clips pulled from this week's message.

02

Ready-to-post captions

One caption per clip, written in your church's voice, with lean and local hashtags.

03

Weekly devotional

A full reflection built from the sermon's actual claim, with a prayer and a question to sit with.

04

Small-group discussion guide

Discussion questions tied to this week's message, ready for your group leaders.

05

Midweek email

A drafted email recapping the message and pointing people back to it. Your voice, your events.

06

Sunday-ahead post

An invitation post for the coming week, ready before you need it.

07

Generosity note

A short, worshipful giving note matched to how your church already talks about generosity.

08

Design briefs

Specs for quote cards, series slides, and event graphics, ready for your designer or design tool.

09

Production notes

What's confirmed, what's flagged for review, and what to double-check before anything posts.

10

One weekly review pass

The whole pack, organized for a single 20-minute team review before anything goes out.

The honest difference

There are cheaper tools. Here's the honest difference.

A pastor who googles "sermon to content" finds AI tools from $39 to $129 a month. Fair question: why pay $79 for this one?

AI-only tools
$39–129/mo

They generate clips and captions fast. The checking is on you. So the real cost is the staff hours spent reviewing and fixing every piece, every week. The tool is cheap; the editor is you.

A part-time comms hire
~$950/mo

A person who knows your church is the gold standard, at roughly twelve times the price, if you can find one.

Based on ZipRecruiter's national average hourly rate for part-time social media help, at roughly ten hours a week.

Afterword
$79–99/mo

AI does the drafting; a person checks every line against what was actually preached before you ever see it. The whole week, not just clips. Your voice, your theology, your approval before anything posts. One 20-minute review, not a week of fixing.

We're not the cheapest way to get content from a sermon. We're the cheapest way to get content you don't have to fix.

Who's behind this

Built by a worship leader, not a marketing agency.

Afterword started because our founder, a worship leader, watched the same thing happen every week at his own church: a sermon someone spent twenty hours preparing was preached once and gone by Tuesday. He built the system that carries it through the week. A person still reads every line of every pack before a church sees it, because that's the part software can't be trusted with alone.

The part we take seriously

Your voice. Your theology. Your call.

This is a drafting service, not an autopilot. Everything starts from your actual sermon. Nothing is invented, and nothing goes out until you say so.

Built in your voice

Every pack is written to match how your church actually talks: its vocabulary, its tone, its restraint. It's tuned from your onboarding profile and sharpens every week.

Nothing invented

No fabricated quotes, no manufactured urgency, no emotion that wasn't in the room. If a line isn't confirmed from the recording, it's flagged, not guessed.

Theology stays inside the sermon

We don't add doctrine to make a caption land. Every pack stays within what was actually preached and the beliefs your church has already stated publicly.

Everything flagged for review

Anything interpretive, like a devotional angle or a clip that leans on inference, is marked clearly so your team knows exactly what to double-check.

Nothing posts without you

Your staff reviews and approves every item before it goes anywhere. We deliver a pack; you stay the publisher.

A draft, never an autopilot

Every pack arrives as a starting draft built from your own words. Your judgment is still what makes it yours.

"This turns one recording you already make every Sunday into a full week of content, without adding anything to your staff's plate, and without ever taking the pen out of your hand."

Questions

Honest answers

What do we need to provide?

Just your podcast or YouTube feed link and a 10-minute voice questionnaire at onboarding, covering your church's tone, vocabulary, and doctrine boundaries. After that, it's automatic. We pull each week's message as it publishes.

Is this just AI?

Most of the drafting is done by AI working from your sermon recording. Every line is then read by a person who cuts anything off-voice or off-theology before you see it. The AI never writes theology; it repackages what was preached. If a line wasn't in the sermon, it doesn't ship.

There are cheaper AI tools that say they do this. What's different?

They generate; the checking is on you. We generate and a person verifies every line against the recording. See "the honest difference" above. If a $30 tool plus your own editing time is the right fit for your church, use it with our blessing.

What if a pack gets our voice wrong?

You flag it in your weekly review. That feedback tightens your church's voice profile, so packs keep getting closer to how your church actually sounds, week over week.

Do you post for us?

No. We deliver; you approve and post. You stay in full control of what goes out and when. We never touch your accounts.

Are there contracts?

No. Both plans are month-to-month with a 14-day free trial. Cancel anytime, no penalty.

What about theology and doctrine?

We set a doctrine and voice profile with you at onboarding, and every pack is built to stay inside it. Content never goes beyond what was actually preached. We don't add claims or theology of our own.

Our budget's set until January. Can this wait?

Yes. Most church budgets are drafted in the fall. Start the free trial whenever you like, or just ask us for a one-line budget item you can drop into the draft ($948/year, Starter). We'll still be here in January.

What's the difference between Starter and Plus?

Both plans include the full weekly content pack, design briefs, and 48-hour turnaround. Plus adds rendered quote-card graphics (so your team isn't building them from the design brief) and formatted email HTML (ready to paste into your email tool instead of a plain draft).
