Christian Technology Organizations

Christian technology organizations, sometimes called faith-tech, come in a few kinds: those that build digital tools for the church and mission, those that gather Christians working in technology, and those that think carefully about the ethics of what technology is doing to us. They range from the Bible in your pocket to labs of engineers to conversations about artificial intelligence. The common thread is asking not just what technology can do, but whom it should serve.

What faith-tech is

Faith-tech covers organizations at the meeting of Christian faith and technology: products built to serve churches and missions, communities of Christian technologists, and groups weighing the moral questions that new tools raise.

Real organizations here

The organizations below are named for information, not endorsement. The Living Bread is not affiliated with them, does not vouch for every view they hold, and encourages you to verify anything that matters directly with the source.

• YouVersion, the Bible App from Life.Church, one of the most downloaded apps in the world, putting Scripture and reading plans on hundreds of millions of phones.
• Gloo, a technology and data platform that serves churches and ministries.
• FaithTech, a global community of Christians in technology with local labs that build projects for kingdom purposes.
• Indigitous, a movement using digital tools and design for mission.
• AI and Faith, an organization bringing religious and ethical perspectives, including Christian ones, to the debate over artificial intelligence.

They are not all the same kind of thing: church-tech products (YouVersion, Gloo), communities and movements of builders (FaithTech, Indigitous), and ethics-focused groups (AI and Faith) do genuinely different work.

How this connects to Christ

A tool is never neutral about what it is for. Christians in technology try to build and use tools that serve love of God and neighbor rather than merely capture attention, and to keep asking the older, deeper questions about what a good life and a real community actually require. The technology changes fast; the One it is meant to serve does not.

What are some Christian technology organizations?

Named factually, examples include YouVersion (the Bible App from Life.Church), Gloo (a platform for churches and ministries), FaithTech (a global community of Christian technologists), Indigitous, and AI and Faith (faith perspectives on AI ethics). They are named for information, not endorsement.

Is there a Christian view of artificial intelligence?

Christians are actively engaging AI ethics through organizations like AI and Faith and discussions of how technology serves or harms human dignity and community. Our page on AI and Christianity explores the questions further; there is no single official position, but there is serious reflection.
