How a Prayer Call Works
- 1
Tap Start a Prayer Call
Create a free account, then start a call from your phone or computer browser.
- 2
Allow your microphone
Your browser asks once. The call runs through the website — there is no phone number to dial.
- 3
Get connected
We connect you with a pastor as soon as one is available. If none is online, our AI pastoral companion takes the call — and we tell you which one it is.
- 4
Talk and pray together
Say what is on your heart in your own words, and pray together out loud.
Before You Call
Find a quiet spot. Headphones help you hear clearly and keep the call private.
Any phone or computer with a browser and microphone works — no app to install.
You do not need the right words. "I don't know what to say" is a good way to start.
Calls are open day and night, evenings and weekends included.

Questions About Calling a Pastor
Is there a phone number I can call?
There is no number to dial. Calls happen right here on the website, from your phone or computer — tap Start a Prayer Call and allow microphone access.
Can I call a pastor right now?
Yes. Start a prayer call any time, day or night, and we'll connect you with a pastor as soon as one is available. If no pastor is online, our AI pastoral companion steps in — and we always tell you which one you're speaking with.
Is a pastor on call at night or on weekends?
Pastors take calls whenever they are online, including evenings and weekends, so you are never turned away. If none is free at that moment, our AI pastoral companion is there for you instead — clearly labelled — until a pastor is available.
Can I call a pastor for free?
Yes, to start. Every new member gets a free trial call and chat before any payment is needed.
Can I call a pastor 24/7?
Yes — calls are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A real, vetted pastor answers whenever one is online; at other hours our AI pastoral companion takes the call, and we always tell you which one you're speaking with.
Is there a 24-hour pastor hotline?
Not a phone hotline — calls happen through the website instead, with no number to dial. Pray with Christ is not a crisis line: if you or someone else may be in danger, call local emergency services or a crisis hotline right away.
Is my call recorded?
No audio is recorded. A text transcript of the conversation is kept with your account so you can continue later; it is never shared with advertisers or used to train AI.
Can I talk to a pastor on my phone?
Yes. Open the website in your phone's browser, tap Start a Prayer Call and allow the microphone — it works like any voice call, without an app.
Not ready to speak out loud? Chat with a pastor online instead. See every way to talk to a pastor online, or read prayers for anxiety, healing and family.
Pray with Christ offers spiritual support and pastoral conversation — not therapy, counseling, or emergency crisis intervention.
If you are in crisis, please contact local emergency services or a crisis hotline right away. See our Safety Notice for full detail.
