At every worship gathering, a church leader will guide the congregation in a moment of corporate prayer. This may include a spontaneous prayer, a prepared prayer, something from a historic confession or creed, a responsive reading, recitation of Scripture, or a time of corporate confession of sin.  

It is our desire that the people of New City Church develop a robust, bold, and powerful prayer life. Those in discipleship groups receive a prayer journal and training and encouragement in how to faithfully develop a habit of prayer in response to reading God's Word. 

Whether we meet with a missional community group or a discipleship group, there will always be a significant portion of our time devoted to praying for one another. Not only do we obtain prayer covering for ourselves, but these groups are where we solicit the prayers of God's people for those to whom we are witnessing and for those we know who are in distress or need.

Some of our church leaders and covenant partners make fasting a regular or occasional part of their prayer life. At times we will invite the church to join with us in a time of fasting.
