Cultivating a Culture of Prayer

A Culture of Prayer is a free five‑session video course designed for leadership teams who want prayer to become part of the fabric of their organisation, not just a moment in the week.

Whether you lead a church, a charity, a business, or a community organisation, you know the pressure of constant urgency. Decisions, deadlines, people, and needs can easily crowd out prayer – even when prayer matters deeply.

This course helps leadership teams move from prayer as a good intention to prayer as a shared culture that shapes how they lead, make decisions, and respond to the world around them.

Register below and we’ll email you access to the five video sessions, facilitator resources, and everything you need to run the course with your leadership team.

Cultivating a culture

Leadership teams shape culture. If prayer is going to become more than a moment at the start or end of a meeting, teams need shared language, sustainable rhythms, and simple practices they can actually use.

Cultivating a Culture of Prayer exists to help leaders cultivate prayer intentionally, not through guilt or pressure, but through practical steps that help prayer become embedded in the life of the team.

24-7 Prayer

A Culture of Prayer is hosted by 24-7 Prayer, a global prayer movement that has spent more than 25 years helping people, churches, communities, and organisations encounter God and build sustainable rhythms of prayer.

From prayer rooms and local churches to global resources like Lectio 365, 24-7 Prayer exists to help people pray – wherever they are, whenever they are. This course brings that experience together in a practical resource for leadership teams who want prayer to shape how they lead.

This course has been made available with support from the Maclellan Foundation and in partnership with RightNow Media to bless those leading teams in these contexts.

What you’ll explore

Across five sessions, your team will explore the theology of prayer and leadership, and four practical pillars for cultivating a culture of prayer:

  • Introduction: the theology of prayer and leadership.
  • Model It: leaders embody the prayer life they want to see.
  • Teach It: teams gain theology and language that forms culture.
  • Embed It: rhythms, space, and structure make prayer normal.
  • Celebrate It: joy, testimony, and worship strengthen the journey.

Each session includes teaching and guided conversation so your team can move from inspiration to implementation.

How to run it

Gather your leadership team (elders, staff, trustees, senior team), choose a rhythm that works (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or a retreat day), and commit to one simple practice per session. You don’t need a trained facilitator – just one person to host the sessions.

What you’ll receive when you register

  • Access to the five video sessions
  • A digital facilitator guide
  • Group discussion prompts
  • Follow up resources from 24-7 Prayer
