WHAT IS AN ONLINE PRAYER TIME? An online prayer time is just that! A regular weekly time when we gather with a few other people online to participate in corporate prayer, because we believe that there is power in the Church gathering and interceding on behalf of individuals, the church, and the world.

HOW DOES IT WORK? It's so simple! Just select the time you are joining and you will be put into a waiting room. A moment later, the host will add you to the meeting. You can expect the meeting to start promptly at the time stated, so we encourage you to log in a minute or two early. Upon joining the Google Meet, the Prayer Leader will welcome you and perhaps briefly share any specific or timely prayer requests, and then open the floor for prayer! Prayer will be “Pop Corn” style. Meaning, the Prayer Leader will open and close, but anyone else can join spontaneously throughout. Pray as you feel led either out loud or in your spirit.

DO I HAVE TO PRAY OUTLOUD? Nope! While we want it to be open for whoever to pray out loud, you don’t have to. Feel free to simply join and pray in your spirit with the group!

DO I HAVE TO TURN MY CAMERA ON? Nope! If you want to, that’s great. But if you want to keep your camera off, that’s fine too! Sometimes people have their cameras on at the start to great each other, but as soon as we start praying, people turn their cameras off.

HOW DO I JOIN? You can join by simply going into the MyFCC app, selecting “Online Prayer Time,” and clicking the time slot that you are joining! When you click the button, you will be taken to Google Meet and be put in a waiting room. Note that you will need a Google account to access Google Meet.

I WANT TO JOIN, BUT NONE OF THE TIMES WORK FOR ME… WHAT SHOULD I DO? Yay! Glad you want to join. There are a couple things you can do: 1) Lead your own time slot! The more times, the better! As you can see above, it is super easy to lead. Pray about leading! Or, 2) Request a new slot that you can join! We don’t know everyone’s schedule, but if you let us know a time you would be willing and able to join, maybe we can open an Online Prayer Time during that slot!

CAN I JOIN ON MY COMPUTER INSTEAD? Yep! Simply go to the app, click the meeting you want to join, get the room code and text or email it to yourself. If you have any trouble with this, you can reach out to Elizabeth, Nathan, or Dan for help!

WHAT TECH DO I NEED TO HAVE? For those with android phones, Google Meet should be installed already! You can just join the meeting with your google account. For those with iPhones, you may be prompted to download the Google Meet app. The first time you join, try to get to the meeting a few minutes early to get set up. If you have technical challenges, reach out to Elizabeth, Nathan, or Dan.

CAN I SHARE MY SPECIFIC PRAYER REQUESTS? Yes, absolutely! Share them by clicking the link below. We don't take requests at the beginning of the OPTs so we can reserve time for prayer. But we do want to pray for you. Share a request below!

WHEN ARE THE ONLINE PRAYER TIMES? There will be various 15-minute time slots throughout the week which you can join. The hope is that there will be one or more slots that you can regularly be a part of!
