Prayer is all about relationship with God.

Prayer is communication with God; hearing his voice, asking questions, receiving answers and then responding obediently to what he says by releasing his Word and will into the earth realm through faith-filled action and agreement.

The Prayer Ministry at Bethel seeks to encourage every believer to find his or her place in prayer. This is done through intentional relationship building; first, in a personal and intimate relationship with the Lord, and secondly, with other believers of like heart and mind. Agreement in prayer is mighty and powerful for affecting change in circumstances and lives, but it is most powerful when it is birthed out of genuine relationship with others. Because prayer is not a program, but an integral part of every person’s relationship with God, it is woven into the life of our Fellowship in every ministry thrust.

For those who desire to learn about prayer, there are prayer classes offered during our Bethel School of Christian Living.

For those interested in connecting in prayer with others, we encourage you first to ask God to direct you to those individuals of like heart and mind. There are small prayer groups that meet throughout the week at different times and places—women’s groups, men’s groups, Block Ministry prayer groups, neighborhood prayer cells, young adult prayer groups, harp and bowl (worship and intercession) prayer groups, targeted intercessory groups of every shape and variety.

It is our desire, also, to connect with the larger body of Christ in prayer efforts to affect our region, nation and the other nations of the world. This is done in a variety of ways and through connections with congregations, organizations and networks around our region and throughout the world.

For upcoming scheduled prayer events, check our church bulletin or call the church office. For info on specific prayer groups that meet, check out the ministry’s web page (i.e. young adults, women’s ministry).
