Clarksville Prays

This year, Hilldale Baptist Church is joining with other local churches in an incredible initiative called Clarksville Prays. Together, we’re committing to pray for our city and surrounding area 24 hours a day, 365 days this year!

Here’s how we’re participating: Hilldale has chosen the first Monday of every month as our dedicated day to pray. For 24 hours, we’re inviting our church family to sign up for 30-minute time slots to lift up our community, families, churches, and neighborhoods in prayer.

Our first prayer day will be Monday, February 3, 2025, and we’d love for you to join us. You can sign up for one or more time slots and we’ll provide a prayer guide (see below) to help focus your prayers. Together, we’ll seek God’s blessing and transformation for our city, asking Him to draw many people to salvation and deepen the faith of believers.

Let’s join hundreds of other Christians in Clarksville as we petition God for His glory to be made known and for lives to be changed. Thank you for partnering with us in this vital mission!
