How TouchPoint Software Strengthens Your Church’s Prayer Ministry
Prayer is the lifeblood of a thriving faith community. Churches need tools to encourage and facilitate prayer requests, prayer support, and communication. The TouchPoint Software prayer wall provides an organized and interactive space for church members to share prayers and connect with staff and other churchgoers on a deeper level.
Customizable Prayer Wall Settings to Fit Your Church’s Needs
The TouchPoint prayer wall is highly customizable to ensure your church can tailor it for pastoral care and privacy. Here are a few key features you can adjust:
- Enable or Disable the Prayer Feed
- If you prefer not to publish a full prayer feed on your church’s app, you can simply offer an option to submit prayer requests. This will send the request to only the staff and allow essential pastoral prayer and care.
- Turn On the Approval Process
- Staff can review and approve prayers before they are added to the prayer wall. This is especially helpful for maintaining privacy and preventing oversharing.
- Set a Duration for Prayer Requests
- Prayers can be marked as answered by the requester, and you can configure how long they remain on the wall to keep the feed relevant.
- Control Privacy Settings
- For privacy, churches can choose to share first names and last initials on the prayer wall instead of full names.
- Allow Anonymous Requests
- If anonymous submissions are enabled, you’ll need to identify a placeholder record within your system to manage these requests. Our consulting team can help support this setup.
- Include a Prayer Disclaimer
- It’s best practice to include a disclaimer explaining how your church manages prayer requests. Address key questions like:
- Will a pastor, member of leadership, prayer partner, etc., follow up with the requester?
- Will the prayer immediately be published, or does it go through an approval process?
- How long will the prayer stay on the prayer wall?
- It’s best practice to include a disclaimer explaining how your church manages prayer requests. Address key questions like:
These features empower your church to serve your congregation intentionally, ensuring pastoral care, connection, and privacy are prioritized.
