I Will Pray
One commitment per person. The author sees the tally — a quiet signal that the community is with them.
For churches
A quiet place for your church
to pray together.
Prayer is a private, invite-only space where your community shares what's on their heart — and the rest of the church says I'm praying for you in a way people can feel. No feeds for outsiders, no advertising. Just your people.
Free to self-host · Cloud hosting $10/month per church
What it does
Small by design.
Built for a community that knows each other.
Private threads
Comments are visible only to the author and that one commenter. Pastoral conversations stay pastoral.
Answered prayer
When an author marks an update as answered, the whole request is celebrated in gold. The one place in the app that isn't quiet.
Built to hand off
Your lead pastor manages moderators, members, and the community name from a built-in admin panel. We stay out of your staff changes.
Anonymous posts
Toggle anonymous on any post. Other members see "Anonymous"; only church admins can see the original author, for pastoral safety.
Invite-only signup
Every account has 3 invite slots. Links are one-time-use and expire in 7 days. No public sign-up — your church stays your church.
And the reaction vocabulary: 🙏 ❤️ 💪 😢 ✝️ 🙌. No thumbs-down — the choices are supportive on purpose.
Two ways to use it
Run it yourself,
or let us run it for you.
Cloud
Recommended $10 /month per church · flat
Your church gets its own subdomain at
yourchurch.prays.online. Each tenant
is isolated — your prayers stay inside your church.
- Hosting, updates, nightly backups
- Custom subdomain & a 30-min leader walkthrough
- Email support from a real human, usually within a day
- Move to self-host any time — your data is yours
Self-host
Free · forever, for community use
If your church has someone technical, deploy Prayer on your own servers. Docker + Postgres — one church, one deployment.
- Public source — audit anything running on your data
- Docker + Postgres + Supabase Auth, that's the full stack
- Same product as Cloud — no feature flags hidden behind a paywall
Frequently asked
Answers, plainly.
Is the prayer wall really private?
Yes. Each church is a separate tenant with its own subdomain.
Members sign in with an invite from a leader, and nothing is
indexed publicly. There are no outside followers, no public
profiles, and no cross-church feeds — your prayers stay
inside your church.
Do you read or train on prayer requests?
No. We don't read your community's content or train any model
on it. Each cloud tenant is logically isolated — your prayers
stay inside your church — and self-hosters never send us
anything at all.
Can people post anonymously?
Yes. Members can post anonymously — only church admins
(super users) can see the original author, and only when
pastoral safety calls for it. The rest of the community sees
"Anonymous."
How do invites work?
Every account has 3 invite slots. Each link is one-time-use
and expires in 7 days; revoke a pending invite to get the slot
back. Moderators can grant extra slots to specific members.
There is no public sign-up page.
What about people without smartphones?
Prayer is web-only and mobile-responsive — it works on any
device with a browser. We've heard of churches printing the
wall on Saturdays so older members can pray over it during the
week.
Take twenty minutes this Sunday to set it up.
We'll spin up your instance, hand it to a moderator, and quietly leave. Most churches send their first prayer the same evening.
