Leaders Involvement
Pray Lubbock invites pastors, ministry leaders, and community influencers to join us in uniting our city through prayer. No matter your role, your leadership can inspire others to engage in prayer and seek God’s will for Lubbock.
One clear call of God at our 2026 pastors prayer summit was to fast regarding the current season dominated by Halloween. The 22 pastors at the summit committed to fast for at least 3 days leading up to Oct 31. The nature of the fast is up to each pastor. The culmination will be a gathering of those pastors who fasted at Second Mile Church, (Lowell Owens, pastor), 2106a 109th Street at noon. In a 30-minute gathering there, we will pray together, share with one another what we hear from the Lord and break our fast with communion together. Explanation: This is not a public announcement; God sees what is done in secret. This not a public protest of those who participate in Halloween activities in various ways; it is an assault, in Jesus' Name, not ours, on the kingdom of darkness and Satan's feeble attempts to steal, kill and destroy. What are we, then, fasting for? We fast for the Kingdom of God to reign in our community and squelch the prince of this age and his alluring fixation on death, darkness and trickery which ultimately leads people away from the Goodness and Light of God.
Prayer Opportunities for Pastors
One of the core priorities for Pray Lubbock has always been to provide opportunities for pastors to pray together. For ten years, that monthly prayer meeting took place on the 19th floor of the Metro Tower on Broadway and Avenue L. What a great experience in praying over the city!
We now have another great location. Lubbock Christian University allows us to gather on campus in their Betty Hancock Parlor each 2nd Wednesday of the month at 9:00am. Pastors can go here to see the details of our next meeting. You are invited!
Worship Leaders Seeking God's Presence
At our 2026 Pastors Prayer Summit, Pastor Bill Stubblefield had a word for Stepheni Doles. Stepheni led our worship time at the summit and Bill expressed his sense that what was happening for the pastors through Pray Lubbock ought to be extended to our city's worship leaders and Stepheni was the one to pursue that ministry. Stepheni said that lined up with what she sensed the Lord speaking to her over a year ago. We are seeking the Lord about this.
Stepheni has since met with Alora Morrison, worship leader at The Difference Maker's Fellowship and they are worshipping and praying together regarding a fellowship of worship leaders who come together simply to worship and to encourage one another and experience the presence of God together. They are leaning toward worship together which is not performance based, or a place to sharpen one's musical or leadership skills primarily; it would be a place to experience coming into God's presence. Gatherings would be a time of worship, but there would be no "audience" except God, alone.
If you are a worship leader in this city, or serve in a worship team, and would like to grow, through experience in ushering the presence of God into the midst of the worshippers, let us know and we'll get more information to you.
There is a common passion on the rise in the Lubbock Body of Christ for Jesus-style disciple-making. Some pastors have already given months of study and preparation with the goal that disciple-making would become part of the DNA of the local church.
