These questions are already reaching your church

Assistants, apps, creative tools: technology is entering the life of churches, ministries and families. We want neither to adopt it without thinking nor to fear it. We want to help respond to it with discernment, together.

  • What place should AI have in our local church?
  • How do we train our teams without falling behind?
  • What does the Christian faith say to those who design these technologies?

A spiritual foundation

Serving society

A biblical framework for a fitting and thoughtful use of technology and AI, for the common good.

Supporting Christians in tech

Encouraging every evangelical working in tech to reflect the values of the Gospel in their professional life.

“Together in mission”

The movement is part of the vision carried by CNEF members in a text adopted in December 2023.

A thoughtful, strategic, innovative and responsible adoption of technology, so as to use the wisest means of making Christ known, without distorting the Gospel or biblical ethics.

Launch keynote

Pat Gelsinger, former CEO of Intel, in Grenoble

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men.

Colossians 3:23 (WEB), the passage chosen by Pat Gelsinger

Speaking to an audience open to all, he shared that it is possible to serve God fully at the very heart of technology, and urged Christians to produce more content carrying truth and hope, because AI systems learn from what exists online.

Led by the CNEF

The National Council of Evangelicals in France brings together unions of churches and evangelical Protestant organisations to express and deepen their unity in Jesus Christ, make evangelical Protestantism more visible in French society and promote the witness of the Gospel in word and deed. It represents more than 70% of France's evangelical Protestant churches: 36 unions of churches and 176 member organisations.
