How churches pray together with Wave
Key #4: church prayer grows when it is visible and easy to join. Wave gives leaders a public movement or community hub where the whole church can carry requests together, centered on Jesus.
Churches pray together in Wave through a public ministry movement or a community: leaders post prayer requests, members follow and pray from the app, and everything stays centered on Jesus.
Start with a public ministry movement
A public movement lets your church follow prayer requests, testimonies, and updates in one open space. Members and visitors can see it and join without needing an invitation.
Gather several movements under one community
A community groups multiple movements around your church: youth, small groups, staff, mission teams. Leaders keep a clear view while each group keeps its own rhythm.
Let leaders carry the load together
Admins and leaders can post requests, pin what matters, and follow through on answers, so prayer for the church does not rest on one person alone.
Follow answered prayers as a church
When a request is marked answered, the whole church can see God at work. Testimonies build faith and encourage the next prayer.
Invite everyone without new tools
Share one link to your public movement or community. New members and visitors can join and start praying with your church right away.
