Join us for our Annual Church Fast from March 23 through April 5 as we intentionally set aside time to draw closer to God. This sacred season is an opportunity for spiritual renewal, deeper prayer, and greater alignment with God’s will for our lives, our families, and our church.
For 14 days, we invite you to participate in focused fasting and prayer- seeking clarity, breakthrough, healing, and spiritual growth. Whether you are fasting from food, social media, or other distractions, our goal is to quiet the noise and make room for God to speak.
During the fast, we will gather every morning in unity for prayer.

Pray corporately for vision and direction
Believe for restoration, provision, and transformation
Strengthen our faith through Scripture and intentional devotion
This fast is for everyone- whether you’ve fasted many times before or this is your first experience. We will provide daily prayer points and scriptures to guide you along the way.
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” — James 4:8
