Our mission is to foster a vibrant culture of prayer that permeates every aspect of our lives. We are committed to ensuring that prayer remains at the core of our collective experience, nurturing personal growth in prayer, and coordinating prayer for times of crisis and special occasions.
Prayer is an essential element of our Christian faith, enabling us to establish a meaningful connection with God. It is both simple enough for beginners to practice and profound enough to continually challenge and transform us. Through prayer, we surrender to the transformative power of communing with the Creator of the universe. However, our culture often prioritizes information and knowledge over cultivating a relationship with God, making it difficult for us to wholeheartedly devote ourselves to prayer.
Prayer is a means of communicating with the living God. Sometimes, it is a formal act of standing before the majestic throne of our King, while at other times, it becomes an intimate and affectionate encounter, akin to spending time with a beloved. We can witness this deep relationship throughout Scripture, evident in the prayers of the people of Israel, Moses, Daniel, David, and even our Lord Jesus. In fact, Jesus Himself modeled a prayerful life, as highlighted by the numerous references to His prayers in the Gospels.
Taking inspiration from Jesus' teaching, we understand that discipleship surpasses mere instruction about God; it involves actively guiding others to meet with Him. Therefore, our Prayer Ministry aims to bring together individuals who are intentional about keeping prayer central in our community. We provide opportunities for corporate prayer and actively support the ongoing development of prayer practices within individuals and families.
I invite each one of you to prayerfully consider joining us in this meaningful endeavor of serving our brothers and sisters. Whether you contribute to planning and organizing prayer functions or simply have a heart willing to participate in the prayer effort, please reach out to Barry Gilmore, our prayer team coordinator. Together, let us cultivate a vibrant prayer culture that transforms lives and deepens our relationship with God.
