Prayer
Team
The Prayer Team prays for our church ministries, our staff, our church family, and for people throughout our town, state, nation, and the world -- ANYONE in need of prayer.
If you are in need of prayer, please let us know. The prayer room provides a 24-hour answering service for individual/situational prayers. Our prayer team will be praying for your requests immediately. Additionally, the Prayer team offers a Sunday morning Prayer Time at 8:15 am in the Prayer Room (just across the hall from Room 126). Feel free to join at any time. Please note that ALL prayer requests are confidential. >>Prayer Request<<
Prayer Request Process
Once the prayer request is received, a prayer team member begins praying for that individual or situation. Prayer-Grams are sent and follow-up calls are made to encourage the petitioner and/or the person in need of prayer. These contacts are documented to show prayer team activity. The prayer team member who receives the report that a prayer request has been answered notes that on the card and rejoices! Answered prayers are a tremendous motivation for continued prayer, and there is nothing quite as exciting as seeing God at work.
