# Prayer teams coordinate daily care

> Churches can organize verified prayer volunteers around safe daily lists, assignments, availability, and weekly email digests.

# Prayer teams coordinate daily care

*July 23, 2026*

[Back to changelog](/changelog/index)

Prayer teams now have one shared workflow from church setup to a member's
daily prayer rhythm.

## What's New

* Staff can create prayer teams from volunteers who already passed the prayer
  support verification and safeguarding process.
* Each team supports leader, coordinator, and intercessor roles, weekly
  availability, active or paused status, and email preferences.
* Members see a focused daily list and can mark requests as praying or
  completed.
* Staff can deliberately assign an eligible request to the whole team or one
  team member.
* Active, opted-in team members receive a weekly prayer list by email.

## Privacy by Default

Automatic lists use approved church requests only. Leaders-only requests
require a staff assignment, Community Group requests stay out of team lists,
and anonymous requests remain anonymous. Team screens and emails do not expose
requester phone or email details.
