Prayer Gathering
Wednesdays – 6-7pm in the Worship Center

We will gather every Wednesday from 6–7pm in the Worship Center to seek the Lord together in prayer. This is not just another program—it’s a call to prioritize prayer as a people desperate for the Spirit, hungry for revival, and aligned with the mission of Christ. We’ll pray Scripture, intercede for the lost, cry out for renewal in our church and city, and encourage one another in our weariness. Bring your Bible. Bring your burdens. Bring your faith—even when it feels weak—and come seek the Lord with us.
