FAQ


  • Why come to the prayer room when I can pray at home?

    All throughout the book of Acts we read about how the early church would gather daily in the temple courts and in people’s homes. Acts 2:42 says they devoted themselves to prayer. We believe that the 1st church is still our model even for the modern church. Every believer should meet with the Father “in secret” according to Matthew 6:6 as well as in corporate prayer gatherings according to the practices of the Acts Church.

  • What is the difference between the types of prayer room sets?

    Each prayer set is unique to whoever is leading it. You may be in a “devotional” set where the intention is solely to give our attention, adoration, and worship to Jesus. Some sets are geared toward “corporate prayer” which means that corporate engagement is encouraged as the prayer leader or worship leader guides the set. You may walk into a prayer set that is just “instrumental”. These sets are wonderful for your own personal time with the Lord. Hours of “intercession” are set aside solely to petition the Lord to see His Kingdom come to Earth and see His will be done.

  • When I come to a prayer set, do I have to stay the entire time?

    Each set is an hour long, but you’re welcome to come and go as you are able!

  • Where do I sit in the prayer room?

    You’re welcome to sit anywhere! We also have room on the sides and back of the sanctuary if you need more space to pace, kneel, dance, etc.

  • Are kids welcome in the prayer room?

    YES! We want the kids of our house to grow up experiencing God in prayer and worship, and the prayer room is a great place to teach them how to engage with the Lord!

  • Can I pray over people while I’m in the prayer room?

    If you feel led to pray for someone in the prayer room, always ask permission from them first. Always pray with people of the same gender, and try to have a small group (3-4) rather than 1-on-1. We believe in the gift of prophecy. If you believe you have a prophetic word for somebody, ensure it is uplifting, edifying, and in alignment with the character of God as seen in scripture.

  • Is it ok to have conversations in the prayer room?

    We love that the prayer room is a space to nurture community, however we ask that you refrain from extended conversations in the prayer room. Our lobby space is open for you to use if you’d like to start a conversation with somebody.
