Shepherd Gate Church is a community of prayer. To us, and to all true believers in Jesus, prayer is as indispensable as oxygen. It is true that every victory we have seen, every changed life, every provision of our needs, is in answer to prayer. Through prayer we connect the needs we see with the unlimited supplies of grace and power that only God can give.

Prayer is not a discipline that only seasoned experts can master. Every true believer in Jesus can pray, young or old. As we pray we become more attuned to God's will, growing in understanding, obedience, humility, and love. No wonder, then, that Paul tells believers to "keep on praying" (I Thessalonians 5:17, NLT).

Shepherd Gate Church encourages all members to have special times of private prayer each day, and to practice God's presence, living in a spirit of prayer. We also know the great value of praying together, so we plan gatherings just for that purpose. Here are some opportunities for you to become involved in prayer with others:

Intercessors In Action: Notify the church office if you would like to receive e-mail messages about immediate and important needs.

Women's Prayer Meetings: several each week.
