How Organizations Work in PrayerConnect #

Organizations are the backbone of PrayerConnect’s community features. They represent real-world groups — churches, small groups, ministries, prayer circles — and control how prayers are shared and who can see them.

What Is an Organization? #

An organization is a group of PrayerConnect users who are connected for prayer. Each organization has:

• A name and description
• An owner (the person who created it)
• Members who have been invited and accepted
• Optional sub-organizations (child groups under a parent)
• A visibility setting (public or private)

Organization Hierarchy #

Organizations can have a parent-child relationship. For example:

• First Baptist Church (parent)
  • Youth Ministry (child)
  • Women’s Prayer Group (child)
  • Men’s Fellowship (child)

Each sub-organization operates independently with its own members and permissions. Being a member of the parent does not automatically make you a member of the child organizations — you need to be invited to each one separately.

Per-Organization Permissions #

Your permissions are set independently for each organization you belong to. This means you might be an admin in one organization but a regular member in another. The organization admin controls what each member can do.

How Prayers Connect to Organizations #

When you submit a prayer, you choose which organizations to share it with. A prayer can belong to multiple organizations at once. For example, you could share a prayer with both your church and your small group.

If you don’t select any organization when submitting a prayer, it automatically goes to the PrayerConnect Community (the default organization).

Prayer Display #

Each organization has its own Prayer Display page — a customizable, branded display of shared prayers from that organization’s members. Organization admins can customize the colors, fonts, and layout of their Prayer Display.

Requesting a New Organization #

If your church, ministry, or group isn’t already on PrayerConnect, you can request that a new organization be created for you. Any registered user can submit a request — no special permissions required. Once approved, you’ll become the organization’s owner with full administrator access.
