Most technology pulls people apart. GLAD uses it to pull them together: someone types the thing they've been carrying at 2 a.m. — and their whole church answers. Seen. Prayed for. Loved.
Technology that helps people feel loved, as they are loved.
That's the bar every GLAD feature has to clear, and the Prayer Wall is it in its purest form: no feed to doomscroll, no algorithm to impress, no metrics to perform. Just a church saying, out loud, that it carries its people.
The whole journey of one request — no account required, no request unreviewed, nobody left unseen.
The form lives on your church website — no account, no barrier. They sign their name or choose Anonymous, and pick where it goes: the public wall, the prayer team, or both.
Nothing posts on its own. Every request waits in a pending queue until a leader approves it — and the pending count sits right in your admin, so nobody slips by unseen.
Approved requests join the wall on your site and in the member portal — and requests shared with the prayer team can notify the team the moment they arrive, by text and email, every opt-in respected.
Not a phone list in a drawer — a living team with a front door. Willing hearts raise their own hands, and the system does the bookkeeping.
Adults join the prayer team themselves from the member portal — one tap and a willing heart, no admin required.
Staff can add anyone from People with one toggle, and the team roster syncs from that single source of truth — confidential, current, no spreadsheet to leak.
Minors can't self-join the prayer team — by design, not by policy document.
Urgent needs shouldn't wait for Sunday. Broadcast and the phone tree both ship in GLAD today — flip the switch to see how each one moves.
An urgent need reaches your whole prayer team at once — text, email, push — with every member's opt-in respected on every send. Marta's church prays tonight, not Sunday.
The chain your grandmother's church ran: person to person, name by name, each one confirming the next was reached. Slower on purpose — some things shouldn't be optimized away.
The next chapter of the wall keeps the same rule the whole product keeps: encouragement, not engagement-bait.
Answered prayers don't get deleted — they get celebrated. A separate, joyful section of the wall for every "God answered," because the wall shouldn't only hold the asking.
A church-wide count of prayers offered — a heartbeat that says we showed up for each other. Not a leaderboard. Nobody's tally. Just the church's, together.
One tap on any request — you're praying for this — and the person carrying it learns they aren't carrying it alone. No confetti. No streaks. No rankings. Ever.
The Prayer Wall, its review flow, the Prayer Team, the Prayer Chain broadcast and the phone-tree relay are all live in GLAD today.
The same care behind the Prayer Wall runs through compliant church texting and a drag-and-drop form builder — one platform, priced by congregation size, never per module.
Give them a wall. It sets up in an afternoon — and Starter is free.
