Prayer and spiritual formation at Yates Baptist Church

Growing Deeper. Together.

At Yates, spiritual formation is not a program — it is a way of life we practice together, in community, over time.

Ways to Grow at Yates

Sunday School

Adult classes meet at 9:15 AM each Sunday in consistent, small groups. These are spaces for in-depth Bible study, honest theological conversation, and the kind of friendship that forms over years of showing up together.

Small Groups

Groups of six to ten meet in homes and at the church throughout the week for shared study, prayer, and mutual accountability. Groups form seasonally — ask the church office about current openings.

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction is the practice of meeting one-on-one with a trained listener to notice where God is at work in your life. Yates can connect you with a spiritual director. Inquire using the form below.

Intercessory Prayer

A dedicated team at Yates holds the congregation and community in prayer throughout the week. Requests are received confidentially and carried faithfully. Share yours using the form below.

Prayer Resources

The church library and our pastoral staff can point you toward guides, devotionals, and recommended reading suited to your current season. Ask at the office or submit a request below.
