The short answer: is Grammarly right for your church?
Grammarly is a writing assistant that catches spelling, grammar and tone problems as you type in your browser, Google Docs, Microsoft Office and on your phone. It's best for church staff and volunteers who write emails, captions and bulletins under deadline. The catch: full rewrites need Pro, and there's no published church or nonprofit discount.
Who Grammarly is for
Great for
- Staff who send the weekly email without anyone proofreading it
- Volunteers writing captions and bulletin blurbs on their phone
- Churches where a typo on the screen gets noticed by everyone
Skip it if
- Writers who want an AI to draft whole pieces from scratch. A general AI assistant fits that better.
- Teams hoping it will catch wrong dates or times. It checks wording, not whether the event details are right.
How churches use Grammarly
The weekly church email
Catch the typo in the event title or the misspelled guest speaker's name before it goes to the whole congregation.
Captions on the go
Use the phone keyboard so a volunteer posting from the youth retreat doesn't publish a spelling mistake.
Tone check for hard emails
See how a note to volunteers about a schedule change might come across before you send it.
