Prayer Request
 
 
 
 
The act of seeking the heart of God to have mercy and give grace on behalf of someone in need, is the work of intercessory prayer. Our prayer team gives unselfishly to petition heaven with the confidence that prayer changes things. We are committed to seeking the will of our Father who will respond to the needs of His people. 

Please allow our Intercessory Prayer Team to call upon God to richly bless you and your loved ones through the wonder-working power of prayer by submitting your prayer request. 

Our pastor and officers thank you for giving us another opportunity to enter into secret fellowship with God on your behalf. All prayer requests are kept in strict confidence and are shared only with those interceding for you.

We have compiled a list of scriptures to assist you in your time of prayer.
