Prayer Requests

We believe in the power of prayer and would be honored to pray with you and for you. If you have a need, concern, or praise, there are three simple ways to share your request with us:

  1. Email Your Prayer Request
    You can send your prayer request directly to the email address listed above. Our prayer team will receive it confidentially and lift it up throughout the week.
  2. Leave a Request in the Sanctuary
    If you’re joining us in person, you can write down your prayer request and slide it underneath “Prayer Bear,” located next to the pulpit. This is a special place where our church family can quietly share what’s on their hearts.
  3. Place Your Request in the Collection Plate
    Written prayer requests may also be placed in the collection plate during the offering. These are gathered and given to our prayer team with the same care and confidentiality.

No matter how you choose to submit your request, please know that you are not alone. Your church family is here, and we are praying with you.
