Prayer is the bedrock of our life as a community. Without talking to and hearing from God in every aspect of our lives our community would be no more than a social club. Through prayer we can know our God more intimately and find out from Him how he wants us to go about things. Prayer enables God to turn us into a community with Him at the centre rather than ourselves. Which in turn allows his power, insight, forgiveness and holiness to be the driving forces behind everything that we set our hands to.

Prayer begins in the quiet place of the soul when we are alone with God, but it also sparks out of our time together: we often ask us God to come through for us and the city and the nation when we're together as a group. We ask him to change us to be more like Him, and to change our society so that His justice, peace and healing would come to characterise the brokenness and hurt around us. Here are some of the ways we go about it!

There is a dedicated prayer room in the Kings Hall where members of the church can come and pray during office hours. This is where we pray for the Sunday meetings every week. There are inspirational scriptures and pictures and requests plastered all over the walls.

Community Church members also get involved in an initiative called Edinburgh Prayer Watch which is an inter-denominational network of people who prayer for the city, that God would bring light, hope, justice, and forgiveness but do it in our hearts first. Click on the banner above for more info.

Prayer together also forms a major part of our weekly Sunday Services.
