Pastor Center vs. Faithlife.
Faithlife is a deep suite — Logos for the library, Proclaim for presentations, Sites for the website, Sermons for hosting. We don't replace any individual piece. We replace the workflow that ties them together — sermon research, writing, clipping, ministry follow-up. AI brain that integrates with whatever stack you run.

Common questions about Faithlife vs Pastor Center
Do I need to leave Logos to use Pastor Center?
No — most pastors keep both. Logos is the library; Pastor Center is the workflow. They complement each other. The 23-agent research stack cites Logos-grade scholarship; if you want to read deeper after a research report, Logos is still in your hand.
How does the 23-agent research engine compare to Logos AI features?
Logos' AI features are document-search and Q&A over your library. Our 23-agent stack is a multi-agent research engine that produces a structured 23,000-word briefing — exegesis, original languages, illustrations, sermon arc options, citations. Different category.
Can Pastor Center replace Proclaim for slides?
Not directly. We don't do live presentation software. Use Proclaim, ProPresenter, or Keynote for slides. We generate the graphics that go into them.
What about Faithlife Sermons hosting?
We don't host video/podcast feeds. Keep Sermons (or Vimeo) for hosting. We generate clips that can be uploaded anywhere.
Is the pricing comparison realistic?
Yes. Run the math on the full Faithlife stack — Logos Pro + Proclaim + Sermons + Sites — and most mid-size churches are spending $1,500-$3,000/yr. Pastor Center whole-staff is $1,079/yr including everything we do.
— Pastors deserve the best tools for ministry
