As we approach God in “prayer, we bring ourselves before God just as we are…” (Richard J. Foster, Prayer Finding the Heart’s True Home, HarperCollins Publishers Inc. ©1992, page 9) The Prayer Ministry Team seeks to actively involve the Temple Fellowship in an Intentional Prayer Ministry by providing transforming prayer opportunities in the life of the church, the community, and the world. Our goal is to encourage united prayer so that we will be responsive and open to the workings of the Holy Spirit.

The Scriptural basis for the Prayer Ministry is found in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” John 15:17 promises: “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish and it will be done for you.”

The Prayer Ministry Team will facilitate, encourage and implement a continuous emphasis on prayer and special prayer events throughout church life.
