Outreach Prayer Ministry

A Week of Prayer GraphicThe mission of the church is to help people come to Jesus, receive new life in him, and grow and serve as disciples within a Christ-centered community of faith.  At the heart of our faith, we believe God will talk with us, reason with us, encourage us, give us wisdom, and empower us to serve the cause of God's kingdom.  Set aside some time each day to pray and meditate about the theme and items listed for each day.  Allow God to come to you, for your own sake and for the sake of bringing others to Jesus.

Monday - Discipleship

  • Become aware of ministry opportunities

  • Have courage to reach out in both deed and word, that your witness of Jesus may be shared with others.

Tuesday - Witness 

        Pray that you may:
