Can I talk to a minister, preacher or priest online?
Our pastors are Christian ministers from several traditions -- you may call them pastor, minister or preacher. They are not Catholic priests and cannot hear confession or give the sacraments; for those, please contact your local parish.
Is there a pastor near me?
Pray with Christ is online, so a pastor is as near as your phone or computer, wherever you are. We also encourage you to find a local church for in-person community and care.
Can I ask a pastor a question online?
Yes. Start a prayer chat and type your question -- about faith, the Bible, prayer, or something you are going through. A pastor will answer you personally, and you can keep talking or pray together. New members can try it free.
Should I choose a call or a chat?
Whichever feels easier right now. A call lets you speak to a pastor and pray together out loud; a chat lets you type privately at your own pace.
