Welcome to the Vibe Coding Course Repository.
This syllabus was explicitly designed for ministry leaders, volunteers, and church groups with absolutely zero coding background who want to use AI to build beautiful, mission-aligned software to serve their communities.
We do not teach you the syntax of coding. We teach you Precision of Intent and the Iteration Loop, letting AI tools do the heavy technical lifting.
This course is designed to be taken over four separate, 2-hour group sessions.
- 📂 00_PRE_FLIGHT: Your Week 0 preparation. Setting up Google AI Studio, GitHub, and Node.js on your machine.
- 📂 01_SESSION_IDENTITY: Learning the "Director Mindset" and building your first Ministry Bio Site using Master Prompts.
- 📂 02_SESSION_ITERATION: Learning the T-A-O (Thought-Action-Observation) Loop, screenshot debugging, and fixing AI hallucinations.
- 📂 03_SESSION_LOGIC: Breaking out of read-only apps. Designing a "Praise Report" system and hooking it up to a real Google Firebase database.
- 📂 04_SESSION_GRADUATION: Locking down your database with Authentication and deploying your finished project live to the internet.
Once you understand the basics of Vibe Coding (copy/pasting code from AI Studio to your local machine), you can unlock Agentic Workflows. These modules are for advanced graduation students:
- 📂 05_LEVEL_2_ANTIGRAVITY: Shifting from a "Director" (using AI Studio) to a "Manager" overseeing Antigravity (an autonomous Agent that edits files for you).
- 📂 06_LEVEL_3_GITHUB: Mastering version control, learning to save "snapshots," and collaborating with your team safely.
- 📂 07_LEVEL_4_RAILWAY: Deploying enterprise-level, full-stack architectures using Railway.
- 📂 99_RESOURCES: The "Secret Sauce" System Instructions for your AI, and a jargon-busting Lexicon for translating developer terms into church metaphors.
- 📂 starter-template: A completely blank, pre-configured React/Vite scaffolding. No need to ask the AI to generate boilerplate—just start building here!
Mission Alignment: Remember, our goal isn't just to learn technology for technology's sake. We are learning to build digital tools that serve our community, solve real problems, and spread hope. You don't need to be a math genius or a computer expert to do this—you just need clear intentions and a willingness to learn. Let's direct something incredible! 🌟
