Every church wants the same thing: for Sunday’s message to reach further than the room. A lot of good tools help with that, each in its own way. Here they are, grouped by what they help you do, so you can pick the ones that fit your church.
One message, many ways to carry it
A sermon is preached once, but people meet it in different places: a clip on their phone, a question in their small group, a devotional on Wednesday, an email on Monday morning. No single tool reaches all of them, and none needs to. The tools below are made by people who want the same thing churches want: the message heard by more people.
Think about who you want to reach first: the people scrolling social media, your small groups, the visitor who never filled in a card, the member who was ill. Then pick the tools that reach them.
Clips and social media
For churches with people on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube Shorts.
Sermon Shots and Sermon Send sermonsend.comTurns sermon video into clips, a branded sermon page and a 5-day devotional, with AI drafting the first version.Gives your congregation something easy to share, so the message travels to friends and family through people they trust.
Pastors.ai pastors.aiTakes a YouTube link and returns clips, a devotional, a study guide and a sermon page.Useful for a pastor without a media team: one link in, a week of material out.
Small-group guides, recaps and more
For teams that want the sermon to keep teaching through groups, newsletters and the website.

Through the week
For churches that want the message to stay with people beyond Sunday.
AfterSunday aftersunday.ioBuilds daily devotionals from the sermon’s key points and sends them to subscribers by email and on a web page.Keeps the congregation reflecting on Sunday’s theme every day of the week.
Church apps and planning
Many churches already have one of these, and the tools above often sit alongside them.
Subsplash subsplash.comA church app and media platform: sermons, giving, events and messaging in one place.Gives your church a home on people’s phones where past sermons are always a tap away.
Planning Center planningcenter.comChurch management: service planning, volunteers, check-ins, groups and people.Keeps the team behind Sunday organised, so the people serving can focus on the people coming.
Straight to the inbox
For reaching the people who weren’t in the room, in a place they already check.
Sermontary sermontary.aiPeople scan a QR code and join the list for the services they care about. After each service, a short summary goes out by email: the scripture that was read, the main points, a question to reflect on, and the full audio. A person reviews it before it’s sent.Reaches the visitor who never filled in a card, the member who was ill, and the young person who missed Friday, with no media team and nothing to post.
One way the message travels after Sunday: a person reviews the summary, then it reaches everyone on the list.
If your people live on social media, start with a clips tool.
If your small groups need material, start with a guides and recaps tool.
If you want the message to last all week, add a devotional tool.
If you want everyone who asked to hear Sunday’s message, start with an email list. Sermontary is free for up to 50 subscribers.
Whatever you choose, look for tools that stay faithful to what was preached and let a person check before anything goes out. Then add more when you’re ready. They all work side by side.
Descriptions are based on each product’s own website, read in September 2026. Features change, so check their sites for the latest. Sermontary isn’t affiliated with the other tools listed.
FAQ
What tools help a church share its sermons?
Different tools carry the message in different ways. Clip and content tools such as Pulpit AI, Sermon Shots and SermonSeeds turn a sermon into short videos, posts, devotionals and group guides. Devotional tools such as AfterSunday keep the message going through the week. Church apps such as Subsplash put sermons, giving and events in one place. Email tools such as sermontary.ai send a short summary with the scripture, the points and the full audio to people who asked for it. Many churches use more than one.
Do we need more than one tool?
Not always. Start with the people you most want to reach. A church with an active social team may get the most from a clips tool. A church that wants every visitor and absent member to hear Sunday’s message may start with an email list. The tools work side by side, so you can add another later.
Which tool suits a small church with no media team?
Pick the one that needs the least work each week for the people you want to reach. Tools that take a YouTube link or a recording and do the rest suit small teams. Sermontary needs a person to review the summary, then it goes to everyone on the list, and it is free for up to 50 subscribers.
Can Sermontary sit next to a clips tool or a church app?
Yes. Sermontary emails the summary to people who signed up. It doesn’t replace a church app or a clips tool, and it doesn’t connect to them, so your team can keep using what already works and add the email list alongside.
