Praying Together

Prayer is a vital part of a healthy church community. As we seek the Lord together, we grow spiritually in Him and with each other as a family, learning to rely on God for all things.

The following times are set aside at Chatham specifically for us to come before our Lord in prayer.

Wednesday Prayer & Worship

Join us as we unite to seek the Lord’s face and praise Him in prayer and song together each Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Fellowship Room upstairs.

Praying

Child care is available, and parents with children in King’s Kids or senior high are encouraged to stay and spend this time in worship with fellow believers.

Morning Prayer Meeting

For those who find it more convenient to meet before work or early in the day, we also meet Wednesdays from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. in the Worship Center.

Sunday Morning Prayer

We take this time to pray for the worship service and the speaker each Sunday from 10 to 10:30 a.m., just before service begins. We meet in room 34 in the Learning Center.

Life Communities in Christ

In these communities, we connect with, learn together and serve one another, living out God's mission based on our identity in Christ as His body, the family of God, a community of missionaries, servants, disciples and disciple makers. This allows us to deeply know and be known by one another and live this mission together. Contact the church office to learn more about available communities.

Praying

Women's Fellowship & Bible Study

Our women's Bible studies meet on Tuesdays. We discuss various books and topics, and come together to strengthen one another as we grow in the Lord.

We are currently examining the elements of fellowship one topic at a time. Choose from two study times, 9 a.m. or 7 p.m. Childcare is available for the morning meeting only. We usually take one week off a month in order to participate in other ministries, so check the church calendar for our current schedule.

Free Biblical Counseling For Women

Our goal in providing Christian counseling is to help you meet life's challenges in a way that will please and honor the Lord Jesus Christ, and allow you to fully enjoy His love and His plans for you. The Bible provides thorough guidance and instruction for faith and life. Therefore, our counseling is based solely on Scriptural principles (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4).

We offer counseling free of charge to women in our community as a ministry of Chatham. Please call
314-375-6856 if there is any way we can serve you.
