Ways to Pray

Stay connected to the prayer needs of our church family. View requests from within the church and hear a message from our pastor about specific prayer needs. Each update will include prayer for church plants and missionaries, updates on specific ministries and 3-4 key prayer needs that impact the overall health of the church. This is a way for families to stay informed and engaged in what God is doing through prayer.

Our digital prayer wall is a space where you can share your prayer requests and lift up others in prayer. Whether you’re seeking encouragement, interceding for a loved one or praising God for His faithfulness, this is a place for our church family to pray together. Every time someone prays for your request, you’ll receive an email notification, reminding you that you’re not alone—your church family is standing with you in prayer.

PRAY FOR OTHERS  

Cover our community in prayer one street at a time. Whether walking or driving, you can pray over neighborhoods, schools, businesses and local landmarks asking God to move in powerful ways. Log the areas you’ve prayed over and watch as our church family’s prayers map out across the city. Together, we can lift up our community and seek God’s presence in every corner.

Prayer Opportunities on Campus

Sunday Morning Prayer Team
Join Pastor Paul on Sundays at 7:45 am in the Worship Center as he leads a time of prayer over the worship service and all that is happening at the church. 

Spurgeon’s Prayer Room
During the ministry of Dr. Charles Spurgeon, several men would gather in a room underneath the pulpit to pray for Dr. Spurgeon as he preached and to pray for the people to respond to what the Lord had spoken through Spurgeon. At Sherwood, Spurgeon’s Prayer Room, located underneath the choir loft, exists for the same purpose. Men and women gather there to pray for each aspect of the service as it is occurring. We pray for our choir and orchestra as they lead in worship, our offering, the pastor as he preaches the Word, and the invitation – that people would be obedient in responding to the Lord and the lost would be saved.

Wednesday Prayer Team
Gather in Worship 108 on Wednesdays from 6:30 pm – 8 pm to pray over the needs of our church and community. Write prayer cards, lift up specific requests and seek God together as we intercede for others.

Prayer Tower
Prayer is our first line of defense and our line of attack. It is in the realm of prayer that battles will be won or lost; souls will be confronted with the awesome salvation provided through Jesus Christ; and unity, power, love, and Christ-likeness will be achieved. We need literally hundreds of prayer warriors who will get before God on a consistent basis. Our goal is to have men and women praying in our Prayer Tower 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our ultimate goal is to have four people praying every hour, setting watch over the church and community.
