"The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective" James 5:16 TNIV
We believe prayer is a key to every good thing God does. We believe God answers prayer. We believe prayer is NEVER a waste of time. We encourage people to pray every day. We have a beatiful facility set apart as a "House of Prayer" and we encourage people to come to it for Focused prayer. We have a Minister of Prayer whose job description is simply to pray, and encourage prayer.
Picture of House of Prayer
As a result we have several very effective prayer programs, and the average worshipper praying much on his/her own each week. Among the "prayer programs" are "The emergency prayer chain", "The 24/7 worship and prayer" and quarterly prayer meetings in which we gather for a couple of hours every three months to devote a time to just pray.
We also have once a month "Men's Prayer Breakfasts' on the first Saturday of every month.
The Pastoral Staff meets every Wednesday night at 6PM to pray together.Every time there is an encounter or special event, there is a call to special prayer to which many respond. Every person in a cell or Leadership/Discipleship classes is encouraged to pray on their own in a time each day of their choosing and pray at least one hour each week in "The House of Prayer"
Overseeing the Prayer Ministry is our Minister of Prayer, Jean Walker
Pastor Jean has a passion for prayer and a spiritual gift of intercession. If you would like to be involved in any of our prayer ministries, just "jump in". If you'd like to be a part of one or more of our more organized prayer ministries such as the "24/7 Worship and Prayer" or The Emergency Prayer Chain (What these are and how these work is explained in more detail below), just contact Pastor Jean at 734 5707 for more information and/or to tell her of your interest.
Those who volunteer to be a part of the Emergency Prayer Chain, receive phone calls telling what the emergency is, they pray for the emergency, and then pass the information on to two others by phone.
Those who are part of the 24/7 Worship and Prayer simply select one or more hours a week during Which they will pray at that same day and hour each week. The goal ultimately is to have prayer from those affiliated with our church and school 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Coming Soon: Email Prayer Chain
We have implimented another opportunity for quick/emergency prayer by use of email. Here, the plan is simply email emergency prayer requests with the understanding that the recepient will pray as soon as he sees the Email. This will be in addition to our emergency phone prayer chain. It will be implimented by Easter
