Prayer Team

Ministry description  

The Prayer Team helps Messiah become a praying church—not only a church that has prayers on Sunday. The team builds consistent prayer rhythms for the people of Messiah, church leaders and ministries, the building/space, and the wider community. This includes a prayer training class, focused intercession, monthly prayer team meetings, praying over the building and ministries (as requested), and optional prayer walks in the neighborhood.  

Core activities  

• Maintain and pray through a current prayer list with clear confidentiality guidelines  

• Pray regularly for the congregation, leaders, ministries, and outreach  

• Pray over the building/rooms (for worship, children, youth, hospitality, and care upon request)  

• Coordinator provide simple prayer prompts so the whole church can participate (monthly focus, prayer partners, etc.)  

• Optional Activity: Praying in the front of the sanctuary after worship service.
