A Diverse and Inclusive Community

At Hall of Prayer, we nurture hearts and minds through faith-based learning that inspires purpose, character, and excellence. Our teachings are rooted in the Word of God and designed to guide each student to discover their unique gifts, strengths, and calling. We believe every child is fearfully and wonderfully made, and we celebrate the diverse talents and backgrounds that make our community whole.

Community is the heartbeat of Hall of Prayer. We are a family of believers united by love, service, and a shared devotion to God’s work. Here, everyone is welcomed, valued, and encouraged to grow in both spirit and knowledge. Together, we strive to build a community that reflects Christ’s love—lifting one another up and shining His light in the world around us.

Our Story

At Hall of Prayer, we live out our core values each day—faith, compassion, growth, courage to act, responsibility, and belonging. These values shape every experience for our members, families, and ministry team. Through worship, service, and fellowship, we cultivate hearts that seek God and lives that reflect His grace.

Community is at the heart of Hall of Prayer. It’s who we are and how we live out our faith. We are united by a deep commitment to ensuring that everyone who walks through our doors feels welcomed, loved, and included. When we stand together in Christ, we are stronger and better equipped to serve others. Our mission begins right here—building a community of faith that brings hope, healing, and light to the world around us.

We value the Lordship of Jesus Christ!

We acknowledge Jesus Christ as the head of our church and fully submit ourselves to His will. In every aspect of our ministry our goal is always to honor and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.

We value Bible-centered Preaching and Teaching!

We believe the Bible is God’s inspired authoritative and trustworthy rule of faith and practice for Christians. Therefore, we submit ourselves to its teaching, commit ourselves to do what it says, and yield our lives to become what Christ desires for us to be.

We value Prayer!

We believe in the power of prayer. Therefore, the ministries and activities our church will be characterized by a reliance on personal and corporate prayer in all areas of our lives and ministry.

We value Evangelism and World Missions!


We believe in the Great Commission commanded to us by Jesus Christ and we are committed to reaching unsaved and unchurched people locally, nationally and worldwide. We will use every available Christ-honoring means to pursue, win and disciple the people in our sphere of influence.

We value the Family!

We believe God ordained the family to glorify him. We are committed to cultivate an atmosphere which promotes spiritual growth within the family by reaching families with the gospel, discipling them in Christ-like character and teaching each family member how to fulfill their God-given role.
