Redeemer Family,

At Redeemer, we believe prayer is not just a ministry—it is central to our life together. Prayer is where we meet people in their deepest places of joy, grief, longing, and hope, and stand together before the Lord who hears, knows, and acts. Through prayer, we participate in God’s ongoing work of healing, freedom, and redemption in the lives of his people, including those who find themselves in places of pain, despair, or brokenness.

Our Prayer Ministry exists to meet people where they are—with open hands, listening hearts, and a posture of trust. We carry the burdens of others before the Lord, interceding on their behalf, asking boldly for his care, his provision, and his transforming work in their lives.

This is a quiet, behind-the-scenes ministry, but one that touches the very center of God’s heart for his people. You don’t need to be an expert in prayer or have the right words; we ask only that you have a willingness to be an instrument in the Redeemer’s hands, a desire to grow more deeply in the practice of prayer, and a sensitivity to the Spirit to learn to listen to the requests from our parish with one ear, and His still, small voice directing our prayers with the other.

If you are interested to learn more or explore joining the Prayer Ministry team, please join us for an end of year celebration event on Thursday, June 5! This is a great opportunity to connect with other Prayer Team volunteers and hear about the vision for this ministry of our parish. If you have questions, please reach out to me. Further training opportunities will be coming soon, and we would love to invite you into this sacred work.
