Question 1

What is PrayerThread?

Accepted Answer

PrayerThread is a platform that helps churches organize continuous prayer sessions across all their campuses. Volunteers sign up for time slots, and each person reads the prayers before them and adds their own — creating one unbroken thread of prayer throughout the day.

Question 2

How do I set up my church?

Accepted Answer

Click "Start Your Church" to create an account and register your church. From there, you can add your campuses, customize your branding, and invite members. The whole process takes just a few minutes.

Question 3

What are campuses?

Accepted Answer

Campuses represent your church's physical locations or communities. Each member belongs to a campus, and PrayerThread tracks participation across all campuses so you can see the whole church praying together.

Question 4

How do prayer sessions work?

Accepted Answer

A church leader creates a prayer session by picking a date and time window. The session is divided into 30- or 60-minute slots. Members sign up for the slots that fit their schedule. When your slot begins, you open the prayer log, read what others have prayed, and add your own prayer to the thread.

Question 5

What are Anytime Prayer Requests?

Accepted Answer

Anytime Prayer Requests let any member share a prayer need at any time — no scheduled session required. When you submit a request, others in your church can see it and pray for you. You can also invite specific prayer warriors to pray alongside you. It's a simple way for the church to rally around each other in real time.

Question 6

What is the difference between a prayer session and an anytime prayer request?

Accepted Answer

Prayer sessions are organized, scheduled events where volunteers sign up for time slots and build a continuous thread of prayer throughout the day. Anytime Prayer Requests are personal — any member can share a prayer need whenever they need support, and the church community can respond with prayer at any time. Both types of prayer are saved in your church's record.

Question 7

What are prayer warriors?

Accepted Answer

Prayer warriors are dedicated volunteers who regularly participate in prayer sessions. Any church member can sign up for prayer slots — the more people who participate, the stronger the thread becomes.

Question 8

Can members join from different locations?

Accepted Answer

Yes! PrayerThread supports online participation. Members can pray from anywhere — at home, at work, or at church. The platform connects everyone regardless of physical location.

Question 9

How do I manage ministries and teams?

Accepted Answer

As an admin, you can assign roles to your members — coordinators can help manage sessions and campuses, while regular members can sign up for prayer slots. Use the admin dashboard to manage your team.

Question 10

Is PrayerThread free?

Accepted Answer

PrayerThread is currently free to use for all churches. Our mission is to make continuous prayer accessible to every congregation.

Question 11

What happens to the prayers after a session?

Accepted Answer

Every prayer is saved in a permanent archive. Your church builds a living record of prayer over time — browsable by month, session, or campus. It becomes a powerful testimony of how God has moved in your community.

Question 12

How do I invite my congregation?

Accepted Answer

Share your church's unique join link with your members. They can sign up with their Google account or email, pick their campus, and start claiming prayer slots right away.
