Altar Prayer Team

Do you have a heart for prayer and a desire to minister to others during worship?

The Altar Prayer Team is looking for compassionate volunteers to serve during all three of our Sunday morning services: 8:15, 9:30, 11:00.
During the invitation time at the end of each service, this team stands ready to pray with individuals who come forward—offering comfort, encouragement, and spiritual support in a sacred moment of response.

What we do:

• Pray with those seeking healing, salvation, or guidance
• Offer a listening ear and a heart full of grace
• Create a safe, Spirit-led space for personal ministry

If you feel called to stand in the gap and minister through prayer, we’d love to have you join this powerful frontline team.

If you're interested in serving or would like more information, contact Diana or Paul at .

Drive Thru Prayer

On the 2nd Thursday of each month (August–May), our church family gathers for a unique outreach opportunity: Praying for people in their cars as they drive by Burnt Hickory Baptist Church.

AM (10-12:30) & PM (4-6:30)
Right at the roadside, we offer prayer, hope, and a warm welcome to anyone passing through.

How you can serve:

• Hold a sign inviting drivers to pull in for prayer
• Pray over individuals while they remain in their cars
• Be a visible light of Christ’s love to our community

This is a simple yet powerful way to meet people where they are—literally—and remind them that God sees them, hears them, and loves them.

If you’re ready to step outside the walls and into the mission, we’d love to have you join us.

If you are interested or need additional information, contact Elizabeth Mims at  for (AM DTP) or Alexis Bass at  for (PM DTP).

Midweek Prayer & Praise

Step into a powerful hour of prayer, praise, and purpose every Wednesday night starting August 13, from 6:30–7:30 pm in Room A294 (during Life Courses).

Join deacons and church leaders as we:

• Lift up current events and personal needs
• Intercede for pastors, ministries, and leaders
• Pray for revival and spiritual awakening
• Celebrate God's goodness through real-life Praise Stories

Got a story of answered prayer? We want to hear it! Your testimony could inspire someone else to believe again.

Let’s come together, stir up faith, and see what God will do. You don’t want to miss it!

Missions for Prayer

Introducing a powerful new initiative where your prayers travel the world—even if you don’t.

While our mission teams go out to serve, we stay rooted in prayer, lifting them up daily as they share the love of Christ across borders and cultures. Whether they’re building homes, teaching children, or spreading the Gospel, we’ll be covering them in prayer every step of the way.

How You Can Join In

• Receive updates on current mission trips
• Pray intentionally for team members, safety, impact, and open hearts
• Share encouragement or scripture to be passed along to those on the field
• Gather weekly with others committed to intercession

This is more than support—it’s spiritual partnership. Let’s stand in the gap and watch God move through missions and prayer.

Please contact Alexis Bass at 

Prayer Walking 

Start your Sunday with purpose and power. Join us for Prayer Walk, a weekly time of intercession where we walk through the church and pray over every ministry before services begin.

Every Sunday Morning
Before Services Start

Together, we’ll lift up:

• Our pastors and staff
• Students and children’s ministries
• Both Classic and Modern worship services
• Every heart that walks through our doors

Whether you're a seasoned prayer warrior or just learning to pray, your presence makes a difference. Let’s prepare the ground for God to move—one step, one prayer at a time.

Please contact Barbara Clark at . 

Power Source

Every Sunday, while worship fills the sanctuary, a dedicated prayer intercessor comes to the Prayer Room to cover each service in prayer. Choose which service you would like to serve: 8:15, 9:30, or 11:00.

They pray for:

• The movement of the Holy Spirit
• Worship leaders and pastors
• Hearts to be opened and lives transformed
• Protection, clarity, and breakthrough

This behind-the-scenes ministry is the spiritual engine of our Sunday gatherings. If you feel called to intercede or simply want to know your church is being lifted in prayer—Power Source is where it happens.

Come be part of the power behind the praise.

Please contact Edyie Hawthorne at  or Barbara Hart at . 

Card Ministry

A simple card. A powerful message. A divine touch.

The Shine Your Light team crafts and writes personalized cards filled with God’s hope and encouragement, responding to prayer requests from our Prayer Wall. Each card is prayed over, lovingly written, and mailed directly to someone in need—bringing light into dark moments and reminding them they’re not alone.

What we do:

• Read and respond to prayer requests
• Write Spirit-led messages of comfort and hope
• Mail cards to individuals facing trials, grief, or uncertainty
• Share God’s love in tangible, personal ways

This ministry is quiet but mighty—like a whisper from heaven arriving in someone’s mailbox.

If you have a heart for encouragement, writing, or intercession, we’d love for you to join us in shining His light.
