Ministers Network
Psalm 133 calls it good and pleasant - brothers and sisters dwelling together in unity. But the unity this network is built on isn't forged through concession or compromise. It's the unity Jesus prayed for in John 17 - rooted in awe, shaped by shared submission to Christ's hope for the world, and held together by something far stronger than agreement.
The Ministers Network exists for those called to vocational ministry - pastors, preachers, and church staff - as well as leaders serving parachurch and missions organizations, and those committed to Trinitarian prayer for Wichita and the region.
Different callings, different assignments, but one conviction: that the city's transformation begins with unity among God's people, and that the faith community's greatest witness is a collective one.
Healthy leaders. A more connected Church. A stronger Wichita.
The Ministers Network works from the inside out.
It starts with the leaders themselves. Those who pour out daily need places where they can be known, encouraged, prayed for, and poured into. Through genuine relationships, prayer, and opportunities for mutual support, the network creates space for ministers to care for one another and grow as healthy leaders.
We also believe caring for Wichita means caring for those who lead and serve it. That includes inviting the wider community to pray for pastors, ministry leaders, church staff, and others faithfully serving across our city.
And when ministers know and trust one another, working together becomes more natural. Relationships across churches and denominations can lead to shared prayer, worship, service, and other opportunities that bring people of faith together across Wichita.
That’s the kind of connection we want to encourage, leaders supporting one another, churches working together, and people coming together around what they share.
Different callings. Different assignments. One shared conviction: Wichita is better when we lead together.

Frequently asked questions:

Yes, if you have a request for yourself, your community, etc.… please bring it. However, it is not required. One of our primary ways of praying will be to pray verses of the Bible for the good of all our community and specific areas are not needed.

No one will be asked to pray out loud; however, voluntarily many people will pray out loud. Many people will simply come and sit and pray and reflect quietly and that is more than welcomed.
Other ways to get involved:
Kansas Prayer offers a Lord’s Prayer App that guides people through praying a portion of the Lord’s Prayer together each day.
The School Prayer Challenge allows individuals and groups to pray specifically for local schools, students, teachers, and staff across the community.
We’re grateful to be part of a larger movement of people praying faithfully for our city and beyond.
Stories From the Ministers Network
What collaboration can become.
The impact of the Ministers Network doesn't stop with the ministers themselves.
When pastors and ministry leaders build relationships across churches, denominations, and organizations, those relationships can create opportunities for the wider faith community to come together.
Prayer gatherings. Worship nights. Youth ministry collaboration. Citywide events. Shared service.
These stories are glimpses of what can happen when ministers move beyond working alongside one another and begin working together, for the good of the city.
