Prayer and Care Ministry
Prayer Ministry
Community Bible Church believes in the power of prayer. We seek to provide a vibrant environment that encourages CBC members and attendees to depend on Jesus Christ through powerful and effective prayer.
If you have a prayer need and would like us to pray for you, click here or call the CBC Prayer Line at (210) 495-PRAY (7729).
If you would like to join our prayer team and pray for others, there are two ways:
- Email Intercessory Prayer Ministry - Pray for CBC staff and congregational needs through a weekly prayer request list sent by email.
- Intercessory Prayer during all worship services - Pray for Pastor Robert and the CBC worship services as well as staff and congregational needs during all worship services.
If you are interested in joining any of the prayer ministries, call Pastoral Care at (210) 477-5186.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
If you'd like to minister to someone and enjoy knitting or crocheting for others, this may be the group for you.
While each participant is stitching a prayer shawl, she will petition God with every stitch she makes on behalf of the person who will receive the shawl. If she knows the recipient, she can pray specifically for the needs and concerns of that recipient. Sometimes, she will not know who will receive the shawl. Then she will simply petition God on behalf of the unknown recipient to provide comfort, fill a need, or bless the person. When the prayer shawl is presented to a person, prayers are offered again for God's blessing on the recipient and praying more specifically for their needs.
- When: First and third Wednesday of every month
- Location: Pastoral Care offices
- Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
