Our church is built on prayer
Since our church was founded in 1990, we have determined to be a people who practice and depend on prayer. Our church life and our individual lives have been built on prayer and in every situation, whether good or bad, our resolve has simply been, “Pray First.” In fact, we believe that prayer is as essential to your spiritual growth as water is to your physical well-being.
Our relationship with God is built on prayer
Now that you understand the necessity of prayer you should also realize prayer is not a task or religious duty, but a simple conversation with a loving God that is waiting to listen and speak into your life. The bible states that if you call on me and come and pray to me, then I will listen to you (Jeremiah 29:12). Isn’t it amazing, God wants to develop a relationship with you? That relationship is built upon your time with Him through prayer- personally and corporately.
Start today
I want to encourage you to set aside time for daily prayer and devotions. As you do, I believe your relationship with God will grow stronger, prayers will be answered, joy will be your strength, peace will surround you, and you will walk in your purpose.

Matthew 5:43-48 NLT
“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

Matthew 6:1-4 NLT
“Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.”
