What is a prayer movement?
Key #1: in Wave, a movement is a prayer space. It is where you write topics, share requests, and pray together. Not a social feed. A rhythm of prayer centered on Jesus.
In short: a prayer movement in Wave is a dedicated space (personal, group, or community) where you write prayer topics, follow answers, and pray with others. It replaces scattered messages with one calm place centered on Jesus.
A movement is a prayer space, not a feed
Whether personal, with family, or with a church, a movement gives you one calm place to write requests, follow answers, and stay consistent. Built for praying, not for scrolling.
Four types for four ways to pray
A personal secret place for your own walk with God, a private group for family or friends, a public ministry channel for a wider audience, or a community linking several movements around one church. Choose the level of openness that fits your circle.
Why it matters for daily prayer
Shared visibility builds faithfulness. When others see your requests (at the level you choose), prayer stops being isolated and becomes a shared walk with God.
A movement is not a replacement for your church
Wave is not trying to replace your local church or community. A movement is simply where prayer happens day to day. Many pastors and leaders use a community to link several movements around their church, so members keep praying together between services.
One space that grows with you
Start with a personal movement, then create or join a group when you are ready. A movement can grow from a private circle into a wider community without losing the simplicity of one prayer space.
Start your first movement in 5 steps
- 1
Choose a type: personal, private group, public channel, or community.
- 2
Give it a name and a short description so everyone understands its purpose.
- 3
Invite the people you want to pray with (not needed for a personal movement).
- 4
Add your first prayer topic to get things started.
- 5
Come back regularly. A movement grows through a simple, repeated rhythm.
Quick answers
- Is a movement the same as a church?
- No. A movement is a prayer space inside Wave. A community can group several movements around one church or organization.
- Can I join more than one movement?
- Yes. Your plan sets how many movements you can belong to. See the FAQ for current limits.
- Who can see what I write in a movement?
- It depends on the type. A personal movement stays private, just for you. A private group is visible only to its members. Public channels and communities are visible to a wider circle that you choose.
- How do I choose the right type for me?
- Start with what feels natural: a personal movement for your own prayer life, or a private group if you already pray with family or friends. You can always add more movements later.
