Pricing — The Sermon Coach

Subscriptions are for preachers in the pulpit most weeks who want a standing rhythm of preparation. Packs are for milestone preaching — a new series, a high-stakes guest slot, the occasional pulpit supply. Same rubric. Same evaluation. Different rhythm.

The mission behind this

All profits from this work support GTN, where I serve as Executive Vice President. GTN trains indigenous pastors and church planters in the Majority World, where seminary often isn't an option. Sharpen your own preaching, and you help fund the training of a preacher who may never set foot in a classroom. More at gtn.org.

Common Questions

The details, before you commit.

What counts as one evaluation?

Submitting one sermon as text (manuscript or transcript) and receiving the full dashboard back. You can revise and resubmit the same sermon as a new evaluation if you want to compare drafts.

What happens if I hit my monthly limit?

You can either upgrade to the next tier mid-month (prorated) or wait for your next billing cycle. We don't auto-charge for overages — you stay in control of your spend. If you'd rather not change tiers, you can also buy a pack to bridge the gap.

What about refunds?

Every subscription comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If The Sermon Coach isn't useful for your preaching after a month of real use, email Chris and you'll get a full refund — no issues. Packs can be refunded within 7 days of purchase if no evaluations have been used.

Is there a free trial?

Sort of — better than a trial. Your first evaluation is free when you create an account. No card, no commitment. Submit a sermon, get the full evaluation back in a few minutes, and see the rubric on your own preaching before you decide anything. If it's useful, subscribe or grab a pack. If it's not, you've lost nothing but the time it took to paste in a manuscript.
