Calabash Covenant Presbyterian Church is committed to praying for the needs of our congregation, our community, our nation, our world, and for the church universal. We believe prayer is a source of wisdom, strength, comfort, and healing that brings us closer to God.
Prayer is the means by which we have a relationship with God in Jesus Christ. It is our way of seeking and learning God’s will. If we don’t pray, we cut ourselves off from this channel of grace. When we pray, we align ourselves with what God wants of us and seek to cooperate with God’s purposes.
Several areas are available for anyone who would like to serve in this ministry:
If you are interested in being a part of the Prayer Ministry or would like more information, please call Gloria Wimmer at 910-209-1003 or email prayer@calabash.church.
