Hear our prayer, O Lord, Hear our prayer, O Lord.

Incline Thine ear to us, and grant us Thy peace.

As We Come to You in Prayer Now, Dear Lord, as we pray,

Take our hearts and minds far away,

From the press of the world all around,

To Your throne where grace does abound.

May our lives be transformed by Your love;

May our souls be refreshed from above.

At this moment, let people everywhere

Join us now as we come to You in prayer.

Our Mission

To proclaim the everlasting gospel,

To reflect God’s character in our lives,

To prepare a people for the soon return of Jesus!
