Pray Brighton and Hove
Pray Brighton & Hove is a growing community of people committed to praying for our city.
Whether you live here or simply carry a heart for Brighton & Hove, you are welcome. Together, we want to see the Church praying as one for the people, communities and places of our city.
A city covered in prayer
We believe prayer is key to the Church serving Brighton & Hove together. Across different denominations, churches and Christian organisations, people are praying for the same city – its children and young people, schools and universities, those experiencing poverty and homelessness, those who are isolated or vulnerable, our workplaces and neighbourhoods, and those who do not yet know Jesus. We want to develop a rhythm of prayer that belongs to the whole Church, not to one congregation or tradition.
Join the rhythm of prayer
We invite leaders from all Christian denominations to join with us for ‘Gather’, a monthly prayer and friendship on our shared mission in Brighton and Hove. The Brighton and Hove group meets on the first Thursday of each month, providing a space for connection and collaboration. To find out more, contact CAB or sign up via Facebook or WhatsApp.
Gather is a national network of people passionate about transforming our communities socially, culturally, environmentally, and spiritually by uniting the Christian community to collaborate with the wider society. Active in over 150 towns and cities, Gather draws from diverse backgrounds—churches, charities, education, business, and the arts - around a shared vision of city-wide transformation.
Additionally, we have four emerging fixed-points for city-wide prayer gathering throughout the year:
January – Ecumenical Vespers
Easter – Good Friday Walk of Witness
Pentecost – Thy Kingdom Come
September – Global 24/7 Prayer Week
Information about each of these will appear in advance of each event.
Global Week of Prayer 2026
From 6–13 September, Christians across Brighton & Hove joined together for a continuous week of prayer, with daily online prayer and gatherings at St Cuthman's and Emmanuel.

We always welcome partnership in prayer and recognise the gift of intercession. If you want want to pray right now, here are some pointers to direct your praying:
Children and young people – schools, colleges, universities, families
Those experiencing poverty – food insecurity, debt, homelessness and isolation
Churches and Christian unity – that the Church would serve the city together
Those who don't know Jesus – opportunities to encounter Christ
Those who are vulnerable – protection, healing and restoration
Our neighbourhoods – wisdom and blessing for local communities
Those working for the good of the city – churches, charities, public services and community organisations
The city itself – peace, flourishing and God's kingdom to come
