2026 Church Trends

As you head into 2026, what cultural shifts do you need to keep an eye on as a church leader?

Every year, I release my Annual Church Trends Report — to help you see what’s next and lead with clarity.

This year, I’m doing something new — premiering all trends LIVE inside The Art of Leadership Academy. You’ll get the full 2026 church trends report and leader guide, but also a live, interactive Q&A and a podcast series. All launching in January. 

If you want to be the first to access it all, head to 2026churchtrends.com for free access. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be in the loop for everything related to my 2026 church trends report. 

Gloo AI

Your congregation and staff are using AI tools, and as a leader, you must help them answer the question: Is AI contributing to my human flourishing or detracting from it?

This is the driving force behind Gloo AI, a pioneering initiative to align AI with human flourishing. The Flourishing AI benchmark is the Gloo vision for AI that is ethically grounded, mission-driven, and values-aligned.

Rather than measuring AI on speed or accuracy, the Flourishing AI approach evaluates AI tools based on their alignment with key dimensions of human flourishing, helping leaders steward the question, “Should we use this tool?” 

This is one of the ways Gloo is building high tech for a higher purpose.
