Prayer Ministry Mission Statement- Connecting People to Christ through Prayer
Prayer Ministry Vision- Through prayer, our entire community is guided by the peace, the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.
Mid-Week Prayer Group
A group of individuals meets each Wednesday at 10:30am in Briarate Prayer Room. This group lifts up prayer requests received from Saturday and Sunday services. Each card is prayed for along with any current emails the staff may have received. Each week those who desire to pray for the needs of our church community and the needs of others gather to intercede in prayer. Any person who believes in the power of prayer is welcome.
Prayer Chain
Prayer requests received at Saturday and Sunday worship services are sent by e-mail as soon as possible to over 150 prayer warriors so prayers can start praying immediately. Members of the prayer chain may receive updates several times each week with current needs and concerns of the friends and families of Sunrise. Members of the prayer chain are asked to pray for each of these concerns as often as they are able. In addition, they are encouraged to pray faithfully for the many ministries of Sunrise Church and for each member of the staff. To add yourself to the prayer chain,

Prayer Ministry for Worship Services
A team of individuals lifts up in prayer for God's presence and protection to be in every service at both campuses. The team prays that God touches every person attending and to experience His love and mercy. The individuals also pray that those who do not know Jesus Christ will be drawn to Him.
Altar Ministry
Following each worship service, trained prayer ministers are available to pray with anyone who needs or desires prayers. Altar Ministers must have completed training in how to pray for others or have experience in this area. Altar Ministry is the compassion of Jesus released at a point of contact for a person’s felt need.
Prayer Groups
Prayer groups are small groups that join together to lift up the needs of the friends and families of Sunrise, the ministries of Sunrise and the staff of Sunrise. Currently a small group meets every Friday at 11:45am at Woodmen Connection Center to pray for Sunrise. Anyone is welcome to come pray for Sunrise.
