<a href="https://agentmoneylist.com/e/churchcalls-ai/"><img src="https://agentmoneylist.com/badge/verified.svg" alt="Verified on Agent Money List" width="230" height="34"></a>ChurchCalls.ai is an AI phone answering service for churches and ministries. The church describes itself in plain English, and the agent answers calls 24/7 on the existing number with service times, directions, office hours and event details, takes messages and callback requests, and transfers callers who need a person to the right staff member live. Churches set schedules for when the office rings versus the agent and get a written summary and transcript of every call by email. It is listed for sale on TrustMRR.

- Revenue claim
- $110 last 30 days; MRR $110; all-time $1,782; 3 active subscriptions (as of Oct 26, 2026)
TrustMRR: revenue verified via Stripe API key, last synced Oct 26, 2026 (10:58 UTC) (re-checked live at merge Oct 26, 2026: MRR $109.97, 3 active subscriptions, still listed for sale at $50,000; matches the curator snapshot)
Receipt: trustmrr.com, www.churchcalls.ai
Risks: Tiny and flat: MRR $110 from 3 subscriptions, 0.0% MRR growth, and monthly verified revenue of $71–$210 for the past year; TrustMRR shows only 5 visitors in the last 30 days (TrustMRR). Listed for sale at $50,000 (first listed Jul 1, 2026; 37.9x revenue multiple), which signals the founder may exit. A $19.99 price leaves little room once per-minute voice and LLM costs grow with call volume (suggested).
