At Grace, we do not believe that prayer is "A" ministry of the church, but "THE" ministry of the church. Knowing that prayerlessness is our declaration of independence from God, we seek to make prayer a vital part of every ministry. Our goal is not simply to be a church with a prayer ministry - but a praying church.
Our pastor has a vision for pastor-led, local church-focused movements of Christ-exalting, worship-based prayer. Under his leadership, we strive to create many opportunities for Grace participants to make our congregation a house of prayer.

Grace Church Staff Prayer Times
The entire staff meets together every Tuesday morning, plus each department meets seperately at some point during the week.
Prayer Summits
These three-day prayer events meet without an agenda and feature spontaneous seasons of scripture reading, singing in worship, quite reflection, and intercession for others in attendance. They are designed for individuals who take seriously their responsibility to corporately prepare their lives and church for an outpouring of God's blessing. Prayer Summits are at the core of our focus to be more like Him, rather than just talk about Him.
Seminars and Conferences
Throughout the year, periodic seminars or conferences are hosted in order to motivate and equip Grace Church members and others in the Christian community.
