Conquerors through prayer

A House of Prayer

ICWC firmly believes that God's work moves forward when His people pray together. We seek His presence and guidance in every aspect of church life, submitting to Christ as the head of the Church.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Romans 12:12

United in Prayer

The first-century followers of Christ studied Scripture, worshipped, fellowshipped, and prayed in one accord. Acts 20:36 describes Paul and the Ephesian elders kneeling and praying together.

Our mission is to help people grow closer to Christ through supplication and individual and corporate prayer. Together, we intercede for our church, our families, our community, and our nation.

For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.

Isaiah 56:7

Prayer Ministry Activities

Regular opportunities for families and the congregation to pray together.

First Sunday: Pick and Pray

During the offertory, each participating household selects another church family's prayer card. The paired families connect and pray for one another's needs and for the church throughout the next 30 days.

Second Sunday: Intercessory Prayer

After the fellowship hour, the congregation gathers at the altar for an hour of intercession. Together, we pray over requests received from church families and for the ministry of the church.

Third Saturday: Fasting Prayer

Fasting prayer is hosted at a congregation member's home from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., creating focused time for worship, Scripture, and prayer.

Quarterly All-Night Prayer

The church gathers quarterly at a member's home or at church from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. for extended worship and prayer.

How We Pray for One Another

  • Members share testimonies of answered prayer during selected Sunday services.
  • Pastoral prayer is offered each Sunday for birthdays, anniversaries, illness, and other needs.
  • The Prayer Ministry forms a prayer shield for the Pastor, his family, and the church.
