prayer ministry

Congregational intercession service

A prayer ministry is an organized effort within a church or religious community dedicated to intercessional prayer—praying on behalf of others.

Members may gather regularly to pray for congregants' needs, maintain prayer chains, or staff prayer rooms.

Some prayer ministries focus on specific concerns: healing, missions, or community outreach.

The church's prayer ministry meets every Wednesday morning.
