For churches
Everything we make for churches
Sermon clips for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. Sermon transcripts, printable notes and YouTube chapters. Guides for the people who run a church’s media, and a priced directory of the tools they use on a Sunday.
The short version
Paste the YouTube link to Sunday’s sermon into Shorts by Slice, or upload the recording, and it reads the whole message, lists the moments that stand on their own, and cuts each one as a captioned vertical clip. You check that every clip keeps the preacher’s meaning before anything is posted. Video: MP4, MOV or WebM, up to three hours and 4GB. If your church only keeps the sermon audio, upload that (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG or FLAC) and the clips are drawn with 16 audio templates instead of a picture. Your first 3 clips are free, with no card.
One real sermon, by the numbers

Every number is from one run on a public sermon; nothing here is a church’s private data.
Only have the sermon audio?
Plenty of churches record the sermon from the sound desk and never film it, or publish it only as a podcast. That audio can still become clips: upload the file and each clip is drawn from the words, with big captions over your church’s artwork, or the key line as a pull quote that ends on a card. See how to start a church podcast for getting the audio from the desk in the first place.
