PRAYER DEPARTMENT
Prayer department is a vital part of demonstrating the power and active presence of God’s kingdom. We encourage a passion for prayer within the congregation’s life and departments of the church so that the power of Christ’s love is made manifest in all we are and do. Just as Jesus recognized that the source of His power came from His connection with His father (Mark 1:35), we in the Prayer department encourages members to be strong in the Lord and to declare the Gospel of the Kingdom with power. Prayer is a vital link in all we do.
