Do you or anyone you know need prayer?

One of the great gifts of the Church is the privilege of upholding one another in prayer. The 70 men and women of the Guild of Intercessors believe that prayer changes things. We set aside time each day to pray for specific needs of the congregation. If you have a prayer request, members of the Guild will pray for your concerns. Your request will also be shared with the pastors. All requests are treated in a confidential manner.
Please call Paula or Mark Peterson at 918-296-5548, text us at 918-688-2163, or email
