Prayer
An Anglican Understanding
The Anglican Church draws on rich Christian traditions to build our faith, actions, direction, and spiritual formation. Following the model of the Acts 2 church, we believe strongly in discipleship, community, and prayer. Plus we find corporate worship, liturgies, and prayers from hundreds of years ago to be powerful and enriching to our walk of faith. These things also center us to the historic reality of who Jesus is and our connection to faith through the ages.
Much of our prayer at Church of the Redeemer is drawn from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is a collection of scripture readings and written prayers that help us as modern Christians connect with our historic Christian faith. You can learn more about the BCP here.
Prayer is available at Redeemer in the following ways:
-
The prayer team offers personal prayer ministry each week in our Sunday morning services during communion. We believe in the power of prayer through laying on of hands and asking the Lord to intervene for you.
-
Every third Thursday of the month, our prayer team offers a Healing Prayer Night in our sanctuary where anyone is welcome to come, sit, and receive prayer for physical healing, inner healing, and individual blessing. If you have any questions about what this time looks like, you can get in touch with our prayer team leader, Jim Godfrey, here.
-
Sometimes a more extended prayer time is required in order to: hear your story; to also hear from the Lord, and pray more deeply into your situation or healing. Those prayer times are available via submission of a prayer request at the bottom of the form here.
-
The intercessory prayer team is available to pray confidentially at any time for immediate needs—simply request follow-up using the prayer request form here!
-
Our prayer team is also available for hospital or convalescent visits upon request via the form here.
We believe Jesus still reaches out to hurting, oppressed, sick, and captive people and makes them whole. Our prayer is that Jesus will make you and those whom you love completely healed in body, mind, emotion, and will.
Please feel free to let us know if you have a heart for prayer and want more information about being a part of our prayer team or if you would like to receive prayer. If you have any questions, you can reach out to our prayer team leader, Jim Godfrey, here, and he would love to connect with you.

Church of the Redeemer believes in the power and authority of our Lord to bring physical, spiritual, and emotional healing to those who are hurting, hungry, searching, in need, or rejoicing. We welcome your prayer requests and will keep them confidential among our prayer team and church staff.

We feel honored to join our faith with yours and seek the Lord in prayer for your needs. Please let us know how we can lift you up in prayer to our loving Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ.
