Prayer

Prayer Always Matters

In a hurried world, prayer makes space to remember who God is and who you are: beloved, redeemed, sent. Prayer is a way for you to come as you are and draw near to God (Hebrews 4:16) by praising God’s character, confessing sin, receiving grace, and giving thanks. 

Prayer strengthens the church. When people pray for one another, burdens are shared and unity grows. We become attentive to the Spirit’s leading—toward reconciliation, generosity, and mission.

Wherever you are in your journey with Jesus, God listens and hears you. 

See below for a variety of prayer gatherings, resources, and special events to help you build and grow your prayer life.

Growing in the Practice of Prayer

  1. Commit to creating space for prayer in the morning, midday, and evening.  
  2. Identify the obstacles to your prayer life and choose one to work on this season 
  3. Use a journal and take notes on your prayer life:
    • Who are you praying for? 
    • What are you praying for? 
    • What are you thankful for? 
    • How has God answered, provided, ministered to you today? Describe what you feel including anxiety, courage, frustration, joy, mundaneness, and peace (among countless other feelings/responses)
  4. As you pray throughout this season, consider how you might pray differently than before. Perhaps you might focus on a needed area of prayer that you may have avoided or struggled with. Practice praying out loud or writing out your prayers in a journal.  To grow in our prayer lives, we’ll want to challenge and stretch ourselves beyond what we already have been doing. 

Season of Prayer

Fall 2026   |   Daily emails September 14–October 23

To help keep prayer at the center of our spiritual journeys, our church community participates in a Season of Prayer at different times throughout the year via daily email prayer prompts. Each prompt provides a devotional, a prayer, and a song of the day!

In the fall of 2026, we’ll share 40 days of devotionals aligning with our teaching series, Bonded, where we’ll explore how being bonded in Christ frees us to live the life God has called us to.

Missed any days? No worries; you can jump in and sign up at any point in the season!
