God says in Isaiah 56:7: "My House will be called a House of Prayer." The goal of the Arborlawn Prayer Ministry is for prayer to saturate all we do and for prayer to permeate every aspect of individual and corporate church life. Since prayer is communion with the living God, it is our lifeblood! Jesus said, "I am the Vine, you are the branches." [John 15:5].
 
The goal of the Prayer Ministry is to have the whole congregation involved in a lifestyle of drawing near to God as we talk and listen to Him, spend time in His Presence, and move into a deeper relationship with Him.
 
The Prayer Ministry is the means to that end, not the end in itself! It is not just another program, but the structure necessary to become a House of Prayer. The Prayer Ministry is comprised of the following various teams:
 
* Training [teaching classes, groups, or individuals about prayer]
 
* Intercessory prayer [praying requests turned in by individuals]
 
* Corporate prayer [praying for the church and its ministries]
 
* Care [sending encouraging cards]
 
* Communications [producing prayer-focused information and resources]
 
* Prayer Room [a worshipful space with stations for people to pray for themselves, our church, our community, the nation, and the world]
