Flags will be flown at half-mast at civic buildings in West Sussex, and on Saturday there will be a community service at St Mary de Haura Church in Shoreham.
Wing Tsang, from Queen Street Church is a police chaplain and local pastor, and told Premier people need to be comforted at this time.
He said: "God is the God of comfort and God of peace and we can always to God at times of troube and find that he is there and he knows what we're going through.
"That's what I'd encourage people to do, to pray and know that God is there for them."
The pastor asked Christians to "pray for the families for those who've lost loved ones, that they may know peace and that they may find comfort in their grief, they may find people they can talk to.
"Some may find it helpful to pray, to ask god for rest, recovery from what they've experienced."
Prayers will be said for those who lost their lives when a vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to the A27 in West Sussex during the Shoreham Air Show last August 22nd.
The service, organised by Shoreham Churches Together, will be held at St Mary de Haura Church in Shoreham, led by the Rev Canon Ann Waizeneker.
The Bishop of Chichester, the Rt Rev Dr Martin Warner, said: "One year on and there will be prayers of remembrance, for the healing of memories, for the injured, for the courage and help offered by emergency services and strangers, and also for those who lost their lives."
The service is being held two days before the first anniversary of the crash, which happened when the 1950s plane failed to pull out of a loop-the-loop manoeuvre during the air show.
Those that lost their lives:
- wedding chauffeur Maurice Abrahams, 76, from Brighton
- retired engineer James Graham Mallinson, 72, from Newick, near Lewes
- window cleaner and general builder Mark Trussler, 54, from Worthing
- cycling friends Dylan Archer, 42, from Brighton and

- Worthing United footballer Matthew Grimstone, 23

Flowers will be laid and a minute's silence held on the wooden Shoreham Tollbridge on Monday at 1.22pm - the time of the disaster.
Safety regulations at UK air shows were tightened after the disaster.
This year's Shoreham Air Show was cancelled out of respect for victims and their families.
