About 90 Days ad Gloriam

Our Story

90 Days ad Gloriam was born from a partnership between the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and innovative technologists who believe that artificial intelligence can serve spiritual formation when grounded in sound theology and ethical principles.

In 2025, as AI technology advanced rapidly, ELCA leadership recognized both the opportunity and responsibility to guide how these tools could support—not replace—pastoral care, community worship, and personal devotion.

Lutheran Theological Foundation

Our app is deeply rooted in Lutheran theology, emphasizing:

• Grace Alone (Sola Gratia): God's unconditional love and forgiveness, freely given
• Faith Alone (Sola Fide): Trust in Christ's redemptive work as the foundation of salvation
• Scripture Alone (Sola Scriptura): The Bible as the authoritative source for faith and life
• Priesthood of All Believers: Every Christian called to service, vocation, and ministry
• Social Justice: ELCA's commitment to peace, justice, and care for God's creation

AI Ethics & Transparency

We believe AI must be used responsibly in spiritual contexts. Our commitments:

• Transparency: All AI-generated content is clearly labeled, and our decision-making processes are explainable
• Human Oversight: Lutheran theologians and ELCA pastors review AI training and outputs
• Privacy-First: End-to-end encryption, on-device processing for sensitive content, and user data sovereignty
• Bias Mitigation: Regular audits to ensure AI reflects Lutheran values and doesn't perpetuate harmful biases
• Augmentation, Not Replacement: AI enhances human connection and pastoral care, never replaces it

Partnership with ELCA

This app is developed in close collaboration with:

• ELCA Churchwide Organization
• ELCA World Hunger
• Lutheran Disaster Response
• Lutheran Social Services
• Portico Benefit Services
• ELCA Young Adults in Global Mission

Together, we're reimagining spiritual formation for the digital age while staying rooted in 500 years of Lutheran tradition.
