Calling people together

One city. Many churches.
United in prayer.

Our story · our shared heartA shared heart for Stoke-on-Trent

Calling a city
together.

Not a single church. Not a new denomination. A shared invitation to pray, connect and encourage one another across Stoke-on-Trent.

Who we are

Many stories.
A shared purpose.

Prayer Walk Ministry Stoke-on-Trent is an inter-church Christian prayer movement. We exist to bring people and churches together across the city, creating opportunities to pray, share fellowship and encourage one another in faith.

Our heart is expressed in a simple phrase: “Calling people together.” That means making space for Christians from different congregations, neighbourhoods and backgrounds to connect, while remaining rooted in their own church communities.

You do not need to have all the answers, or know everyone in the room. An interest in praying for our city is a place to begin.

Our vision

A city connected

Our story is still unfolding

Rooted here.
Looking forward.

Our story is about people finding common ground in prayer. A conversation becomes a connection. A gathering becomes an encouragement. A prayer for a street becomes part of a wider prayer for the city.

As the ministry develops, weekly prayer, quarterly walks and annual events provide a rhythm for coming together. New ministries are taking shape within that wider movement. We look forward to sharing the personal stories and milestones behind this journey when they have been provided by the team.
