What it does
Six pillars. One companion. Built for a Sunday that lands.
Ministry Kit
From one Sunday: a recap email, a small-group guide, a five-day devotional — written in your own voice, ready before the week starts.
Pulpit Mode
Listens with you while you preach. Opens the scripture the moment you quote it. Watches your pace — and never leaves the device.
Voice Reference
Say “John three sixteen” mid-sermon. PewPad opens it before your eyes do — even mid-sentence, even with an accent.
Bible & Commentary
The translations and trusted voices you already preach with. One tap drops a verse straight into the manuscript — even on the plane.
Yours, always
PewPad’s intelligence runs on your device. No uploads. No accounts. No quiet copy of your archive sitting on someone else’s server.
How PewPad fits a pastor’s week
Prepared in your study.
Delivered from your pulpit.
Multiplied through your week.
Remembered for a lifetime.
The PewPad thesis: the pastor’s archive is sacred. We built the substrate that lets it stay private — and still get smarter every week.

Yesterday we sat with John 3:16 and watched love refuse to flinch. The Father gave; the Son went; the invitation stands. Believe — and live forever, today.

“78% of pastors are comfortable with AI for ministry communication — and zero should require shipping their archive to a server.”
Pillar 03 · Pulpit Mode
Pulpit-aware. Listens, never leaks.
Tap into Pulpit Mode and the manuscript becomes alive. PewPad listens with you, follows along, opens the cross-reference the moment you quote it, and gently flags pace drift. Nothing you say ever leaves the device.
- Follows your manuscript sentence-by-sentence — quietly, in the background
- Opens scripture the moment you quote it, before your eyes do
- Pace meter at a glance — never drift past the offering by accident
- Runs all day on a single charge — no fans, no streaming, no drain

Pillar 04 · Voice Reference
Quote it. It opens.
Say “first John three sixteen” mid-sermon. PewPad parses pastoral speech — “first / second / third”, “chapter 3 verse 16”, alpha and numeric forms — runs the trigger phrase through its decision policy, and opens the verse panel before your eyes do.

The library you trust, in the page you’re writing.
Drag a verse into your manuscript and it lands as a live chip — tap to open the full reference, the cross-references, the word studies, the commentaries you’ve always preached with. The translations and trusted voices you trust, mirrored on your device so you can prep on the plane.

Pillar 06 · Privacy
Your archive, your device.
95% of pastors are concerned about AI privacy. PewPad answers that concern in the way the app is built, not on a policy page. Everything PewPad does — the thinking, the remembering, the listening, the suggesting — happens on your device. We don’t run servers that touch your sermons. We don’t want to.

Frequently asked
The questions pastors ask first.
If you’re weighing whether PewPad fits the way you preach, start here. The short answers are below; the long ones live in the app.
What is PewPad?
PewPad is a private iPad app for sermon preparation, Bible study, sermon delivery, and post-sermon reflection. It brings sermon writing, offline Scripture, a pulpit-ready delivery mode, voice-activated Bible references, transcript capture, sermon history, and ministry-kit generation into one local-first workspace built specifically for pastors.
Is PewPad an AI sermon writer?
No. PewPad is not an AI sermon writer. It is a private preaching companion that helps pastors prepare, deliver, remember, and multiply sermons they authored themselves. PewPad can help import, organize, search, transcribe, and create follow-up materials from sermon content, but the pastor remains the author.
Does PewPad work offline?
Yes. PewPad ships with installed Bible translations (KJV, WEB, BSB), local commentary resources, on-device speech recognition, and local sermon storage so core preparation and delivery workflows work without depending on a live internet connection — useful when church Wi-Fi is unreliable.
Can I preach from PewPad?
Yes. Delivery Mode shows your sermon notes and active Scripture side by side on the iPad with a countdown timer, planned-duration cues, dark mode, adjustable font scale, and optional voice reference activation. It is built for the pulpit — quiet, readable, and focused.
Can PewPad open Bible references by voice?
Yes. PewPad uses Apple's on-device speech recognition to listen for natural pulpit phrases like "turn to John 3:16," "let's look at Romans 8," or "read with me from Ephesians 2," then opens the passage beside your notes hands-free. Voice processing happens on device — audio is never streamed to PewPad servers.
What is the Ministry Kit?
Ministry Kit turns one sermon — written or as-delivered transcript — into practical ministry materials: listener handouts, small-group discussion guides, and recap emails. Generation happens on device using Apple Foundation Models, shaped by your pastor voice profile, and you can edit, copy, email, or export everything before sharing.
What happens to my sermon data?
PewPad is built with a local-first privacy posture. Sermon notes, voice profile artifacts, transcripts, and AI-assisted suggestions live on the device that creates them. If iCloud sync is enabled, sermon data syncs through your private iCloud container. PewPad does not run servers that touch your sermons, does not use analytics or advertising SDKs, and never sells or shares user data.
Who is PewPad for?
PewPad is for pastors, preachers, teaching pastors, itinerant preachers, Bible study leaders, small-group teachers, youth pastors, and seminary students who prepare and deliver Scripture-rich messages from an iPad and want a focused, private preaching workflow.
What devices does PewPad support?
PewPad is designed for iPad (iPadOS 26+) as the primary preaching device, with companion experiences on iPhone (iOS 26+) and Mac (macOS 26+). Sermon data syncs across your own devices through your private iCloud account when sync is enabled.
Which Bible translations are included?
PewPad ships with public-domain translations bundled offline — King James Version (KJV), World English Bible (WEB), and Berean Standard Bible (BSB). Translations can be searched, compared, and inserted directly into the manuscript. Additional resources include cross-references, topical Scripture indexes, public-domain commentary, and original-language word study tools.
