prayer group

Communal worship circle

A prayer group is a small gathering of people who meet regularly to pray together, typically sharing personal concerns and spiritual support.

Most common in Christian contexts, these groups often meet in homes or churches: She joined a prayer group at her neighborhood church.

The term implies intimacy and mutual encouragement rather than formal worship.
