Quick start
- Open Sermon Notes from the sidebar (
/sermon-notes). - Create a New note (blank) or AI note (generated prep — AI note is always available).
- Write in the editor at
/sermon-notes/note/{noteId}— Prep tab for research/outline, Sermon tab for the spoken manuscript. - Edit the prep, click Generate sermon from prep, then choose Bible, tone, and sermon length.
- Optionally Generate presentation from sermon speech.
- Optionally Attach to service when opened from a service workspace (beta).
You should see note cards with Prep and/or Speech badges in the library. Folders use /sermon-notes/folder/{folderId} (legacy /sermon-notes/{folderId} redirects there).
Deep dive
The sermon notes workflow
WorshipDeck sermon notes follow a natural progression:
Prep (research) → Sermon (speech) → Presentation (slides) → Service (order)
Not every step is required. You can stop after prep, write sermon speech manually, or skip presentation generation.
| Stage | Tab / location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Prep | Editor Prep tab | Research, outline, scriptures, commentary notes |
| Sermon | Editor Sermon tab | Final spoken manuscript for Sunday |
| Presentation | Sermon tab or library ⋮ menu | Slide deck from sermon speech |
| Service | Sermon tab (workspace) | Link note + presentation to a service order |
New note vs AI note
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| New note | Blank note in the current folder → opens editor immediately |
| AI note | Modal collects topic, keywords, sermon length, and Bible → creates prep only |
See Sermon notes library for library actions and AI sermon prep / AI sermon speech for AI detail.

Prerequisites
Preferred translations available to your church are set in Church general settings. Your personal default is under Bible settings.
- AI generation consumes church AI credits — see Billing.
Tips
- Start with a blank New note if you already have an outline; use AI note for a first draft.
- Keep research in Prep and polish the spoken flow in Sermon before generating slides.
- Generated presentations open in the presentation editor for final tweaks.
Troubleshooting
I do not see AI buttons
- Library AI note creates prep only. Generate sermon from prep is on the editor Prep tab. Generate presentation is on the Sermon tab and in the library note menu, and it runs as a background job (toast + estimated wait). Sermon generation may still use proposal review when speech beta is on.
- Ask an admin if speech proposal review is missing — that control is beta-gated per church.
- Attach to service only appears when you open the note from a service workspace (flag + linked presentation required).
Bible picker is empty
- An admin must add preferred Bible translations under Church general.
