Using AI Image Generation for Ministry: A New Tool for Visual Gospel Communication
In an age where visual content drives engagement, ministry leaders have a new powerful tool for communicating the Gospel message. Julia McCoy, CEO at FirstMovers.ai, recently shared insights about Flux, an AI image generation tool that could help churches create more engaging visual content for their ministry.
“I’ve tried more than Midjourney, Dall-E, Leonardo… Flux has an image quality that I would say is about ten times better than anything I’ve tried, which is pretty remarkable” McCoy explains in her tutorial. “This technology could offer ministry leaders a cost-effective way to create authentic, high-quality visuals for their sermons, social media posts, and church communications.”
PRACTICAL APPLICATION FOR MINISTRY
Ministry leaders can generate over 30 high-quality images, making Flux an accessible tool for churches of all sizes.
Some potential applications include:
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
The process involves using Flux Pro through the AI playground Fal.al. McCoy outlines the basic steps:
“First of all, you’re going to need at least ten images… We’re going to train the Flux Pro model… And we’re going to do it for under $8, which is going to give us more than 30 amazing images.”
RESPONSIBLE USAGE
When considering this technology for ministry, it’s important to remember McCoy’s wisdom about responsible usage: “With great power comes great responsibility.” Ministry leaders should ensure their visual content aligns with their message and values while maintaining authenticity in their communication.
COST EFFECTIVENESS
McCoy notes that each generated image costs only about $0.03. “We’re getting approximately 29 runs for every dollar.” This makes it an excellent stewardship option for churches looking to maximize their communication budget while maintaining high-quality visual standards.

CONCLUSION
As McCoy observes, “We’re living in the greatest age humanity has ever lived in in the AI age.” For ministry leaders, this presents an unprecedented opportunity to communicate timeless truths in contemporary ways. By thoughtfully implementing tools like Flux, churches can enhance their visual communication while maintaining focus on their core mission of sharing the Gospel. This technology offers ministry leaders a new way to fulfill the Great Commission in our digital age, helping them create visually compelling content that can reach people where they are — on their screens and social media feeds.
Remember, as McCoy emphasizes, “Critical thinkers, learners, and people that apply themselves to knowledge are going to be the people that really benefit in this new society.”
Ministry leaders who thoughtfully embrace these tools — while staying grounded in their mission — can effectively bridge the gap between traditional ministry and modern communication methods.
