To promote unity among our body of believers and a sense of expectancy for God to move or act in response to our united, deep, earnest seeking of God’s help and intervention. To see greater hunger and a zealous desire to treasure God and follow Jesus more faithfully. To learn about and practice the disciplines of fasting and prayer.

Prayer stations will be set up throughout the church for you to use as you feel led.

The practice of fasting helps committed followers of Jesus mature as we…

… practice self-control and break dependencies (Gal 5:22-23)

… humble ourselves, recognizing our dependence on God (Deut. 8:3)

… are prompted toward repentance, confession, and a changed heart (Jonah 3:5-10)

… focus and intensify our earnest prayer and intercession (Esther 4:16)

… prioritize worship and devotion to God over physical needs (Acts 13:2)

… become more attentive to God’s spirit and prompting (Acts 13:2-3)

We want to honor families with young children who want to set an example of prayer for their kids. That’s why we have a family-friendly area with many of the same elements that will be in the adult area. This family area will be open Friday Nov. 8th from 6-8 pm and Saturday Nov. 9th from 3-5 pm. Access to the family area will be through the east door of the church that leads up to the KC Family Area. Feel free to come anytime during these time slots, staying for as long or as little as you would like. This area will be for parents and kids together. This will not be a childcare area but a place to pray together with our children.

For those not utilizing the family-friendly area, you will likely want to park in the main parking lot on the southwest side of the church and enter through the main doors leading into the Commons (this will be the only door open). There you will be met by a host who will have a map of the prayer stations and be able to answer any questions you may have.

Not at all. The prayer stations are designed to help you in your time with the Lord, giving you suggestions of different items about which you can pray. These are for you to use (or not) use as you’re led. While some may wish to go through all the areas, others may be drawn to 1 or 2 specific areas. That is perfectly fine. We want the Lord to lead your time!

We want to create an atmosphere where people can engage the Lord with minimal distractions. We ask that everyone be respectful of others by keeping noise to a minimum. We do have a space for group prayer which would be an ideal place to pray together. It’s in the Green Room which will be clearly marked on the map.

Our hope is that if people sign up for an hour of prayer that they would do their best to commit to the entire hour. We would love to see people praying continuously for the entire 24 hours. However, if you cannot stay for an hour, you are welcome to come when and for however long you can. Also, if you pray for an hour and feel led to stay longer, you’re welcome to stay! Indeed, if you leave and later would like to come back, return, and pray more.

We want everyone to feel free to come and pray as able.

No. We want to see all the time slots filled with people but there will not be a limit on how many people can sign up for a specific slot. Currently, on the registration page, we have set the “maximum” number at 50 people/hour. This number is not actually a cap, but rather a help to show how many people have signed up for an hour. Just look at the number remaining, subtract from 50 and you’ll know how many people have signed up for a slot.
