In times of vast expansion and renovation, you have to have something solid to build from. You start off with the concept, the plans, and the desire to better yourself. But no matter how much time or how many resources are devoted to the building process, it’s always necessary to have a foundation to build upon. Never get caught up in the tiny details too early in your journey. Focus on building that foundation first so that you can later erect a strong structure that will last for generations to come.
Because of this background, I feel like there is no better time than now to ask God to help us build a new church building in [location]. We don’t know what will happen when we open our doors; we don’t know if people will come or stay away. But we do know that we want this space to be a place where everyone feels welcome—regardless of race, gender identity or sexual orientation; socio-economic status; political affiliation; or anything else that might make them feel unwelcome at another church.

Prayer for new church building
Dear God,
We come before you today to pray for our new church building. We know that you have blessed us with a parish full of people who love you, and we thank you for it. We also know that you have provided us with the resources we need to build this beautiful new house of worship for your glory. We hope that the building will be a place where people can find peace, comfort, and solace in your presence.
The church has been used as a tool for oppression, corruption, and greed by those who claim to follow Jesus Christ—and it has also been used as a platform for justice and mercy by those who do not.
Bless this church so that it may continue to be a beacon of light and hope in our community, and help us to carry out your mission here on earth. Empower us to bring others into your fold through prayer and example, so that they too may experience the joy of knowing you as their Savior.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Dear Lord,
We come before You today to ask for Your blessing on the construction of our new church building. We know that this is a time of great change for us. We’ve been through so much together and we’ve grown so much from it all. Now, as our numbers continue to rise, we need a space that can accommodate our growing membership and allow them to feel at home in the same way they have here at [church name]. Please guide those working on this project as they continue their work—and grant them wisdom in making decisions about where to build, what materials should be used, and how everything will look when it’s finished.
We also pray Your blessing on the people who have made this project possible: those who donated funds towards it; those who helped plan the layout; and those who volunteered their time to help out during construction. Thank You for providing us with these resources and people who are willing to donate their time and energy toward making this dream become reality. We are grateful for all You do for us!
Dear God,
We are so grateful for the opportunity to start a new church in this community. We know that you are with us as we embark on this new phase of our lives. Please fill us with your love and grace as we begin this journey together. We pray that our new building will be a place where many people will come to worship and grow in their faith. We pray that it will be a place where they can find peace and comfort in times of trouble and joy in times of celebration. Please give us strength and perseverance as we build this church together, so that we can continue to share the good news of Jesus Christ throughout our community
Dear Lord,
We thank you for bringing us to this place, and for the opportunity to serve you here. We pray that our church building will reflect the light of your glory to those who pass by. Please bless this new building so that it may be a safe place for all who enter, and that its doors may always be open to those who seek your guidance and healing. Grant us wisdom in all things: from choosing the right materials, to placing them just so, all the way down to the smallest details of construction. We ask that everyone involved in this project would work together in unity and with love—not only for their own benefit but also for all whose lives will be touched by this building. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!
Dedication Prayer For Church Building
Almighty God, who has blessed us with this new house of worship, we thank you for the blessings of this day. May it be a place where your presence is felt and where we gather together to worship you and to serve our community. We ask that your Spirit will be here, that it will be a sanctuary where people can come to pray and study your word. We pray that the building will be a blessing to the community and a witness to others of your love and grace. We ask that those who have helped build this building would be blessed by your hand in their labors. May they know that they have been faithful stewards who have been entrusted with resources that are not their own.
Blessed Lord, we ask that you would continue to bless this congregation throughout its life as a church family here at __ (name of your church). Please help us as we seek to grow closer together and become more like you each day. Help us to serve those around us in love and compassion so that many may come into relationship with you through our efforts; in Jesus’ name we pray, amen!
Prayer for new members to a church
Dear Lord,
I pray for the new members of our church. I pray that they will find comfort in your words and love in your arms. I pray that they will see you as the answer to their prayers and the hope for their lives.
I pray that they will come to know you as a loving Father who wants nothing more than to give them life, abundant life. I pray that you would give them strength to follow through with what they start, even when it seems impossible.
Please fill them with wisdom so they can make good choices in their lives and help others find the same joy and peace they have found. Help them not to be afraid or ashamed but to be bold in sharing their faith because we know that it is through our actions that others come to know about your love for them too.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
Dear Lord,
Thank you for blessing us with this new church building. We thank you for the amazing work of all the people who have been involved in this project, and for the support of so many people who have given donations. We are grateful that you have given us a place to worship, and we pray that this will continue to be a place where people can come together in fellowship and worship.
We ask that you would bless all those who come here to worship, and let them feel your presence as they gather together in your name. We pray that they would be encouraged by your Word and strengthened by your presence, so that they may go out into the world with confidence and love in their hearts.
We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen
Dear God,
We are so excited to have this new building. It’s so bright and airy and open, and we can’t wait to fill it with people and activity. We know that you have blessed us with this space, and we want you to know how grateful we are for your generosity. We hope you will help us fill this building with love and joy so that everyone who comes here feels uplifted by the experience of being in your presence. We pray that when they leave, they will be better people than when they came through the doors.
In Jesus’ name, amen
Dear Lord,
