Why We Pray
At Second City Church, we take seriously the calling of Jesus to be "salt" and "light" of the Earth.
One way He commands us to do this is through prayer and intercession for our church, city & nation.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” - Romans 12:12
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” -Colossians 4:2
“Pray without ceasing” -1 Thessalonians 5:17
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power...” - James 5:16
Opportunities to Pray Together
Join us for a time of prayer as we come together as a church community to seek God's heart and pray for our church, city, and nation.
