It is the vision of the Prayer Ministry to build a house of prayer for the Lord (Isaiah 56:7) at FPCH. We endeavor to unite God’s people in corporate and intimate personal prayer in order to worship the Lord our God, to encourage the hearts of God’s people, and to discern the will of God for His church and for our lives.
We gather together as a group seeking God’s will for any number of issues that are relevant for us personally and for the world today. All are welcome! Please click here to read more about our various prayer ministries at FPCH.
In Courage
Thursdays at 7-9pm in the FPCH Library and Middle Terrace
In Courage is a Christ-centered support group for all who struggle from past trauma, poor habits, depression, anger, anxiety, fear, and addiction. Alone we are powerless to change our lives and need Jesus to be the center of the restoration process. In Courage is a secure and confidential safe space. Through prayer and guided by biblical principles we begin this journey of restoration and healing.
In Hope – In Trust – In Prayer – Inspired – In Him – In Courage
“Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so you may be healed.”
James 5:16
