Prayer Ministry

Johnson Ferry’s Prayer Ministry spans miles beyond our community. Our prayer line is equipped to handle incoming prayer requests 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Numerous volunteers listen to those calling, encouraging them and praying with them to our God who promises to meet our every need. In the prayer room, many hours are spent with volunteers on their knees before the throne interceding for the needs of others from within the family of Johnson Ferry to beyond the borders of our state. 

Besides the Prayer Room, opportunities abound within the Prayer Ministry. Intercessors are always needed and prayer is such a privilege, who wouldn’t want to spend intimate time with our Creator? As you dig a little deeper, you will see many areas where you can plug in and become a prayer warrior for the kingdom.

Opportunities for Corporate Prayer

Sunday Night Prayers — Join others who are serious about seeking God's face, on Sunday nights, 6-7 p.m. in room 105. Come to deepen your walk with God and to see God's power at work.
