Prayer Initiative

We want to be

A Church that Prays

One of the greatest gifts God has given us is the ability to communicate with Him in prayer. Prayer connects us with the divine presence of our Creator, aligns our will with His, and includes us in the work that He’s doing in this world. The apostle James wrote, "The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results" (James 5:16). For that reason, Meck is zeroing in on prayer for the next year (beginning Oct 2026), so that we might learn how to deepen our prayer lives and join together to strengthen this practice as a community of faith.

Pray Without Ceasing (On-Demand Class)

When we encounter prayer in the Bible or in the lives of great Christian men and women throughout history, we find it associated with power, deep intimacy, healing and peace. Yet for many of us, prayer feels like nothing more than an unspoken wish list, an awkward silence, random ramblings, or an eventual detour into your to-do list or weekend plans. We can often feel like we're doing it wrong, or worse, that no one is listening. In this on-demand class, we'll explore the multi-faceted nature of prayer; namely, how it allows us to abide in God, listen to Him, speak with Him, and be changed by Him. We will unpack some of the mysteries of prayer while practicing it for ourselves and with others. And we'll learn what the command to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:16) looks like in our current cultural moment. We hope this class serves as the beginning or the continuation of your own rich and personal prayer life with God....More
