+ Is it okay to have a conversation with a friend while in the Prayer Room?

We want the Prayer Room to feel like a living room, and for people to find family here. However, we also want to preserve this room as a sacred space for connection with the Lord. We ask that extended conversations be moved to the main corridors, and that conversations not be distracting to others in the room.

You’re welcome to come and go from the Prayer Room whenever you’d like. Stay for 5 minutes or 5 hours!

+ Can I work or do homework in the Prayer Room?

We are the most “clear” in the place of worship and prayer. We believe that some of the best ideas and most creative solutions come from the place of prayer! Our work can be worship if that's the aim of our heart. Try bringing your work to the Prayer Room and experience God’s delight as you put your hand to bringing shalom to your field!

+ Can I listen to music on headphones in the Prayer Room?

If your time with the Lord would be best served by a different sound track, you’re more than welcome to listen to music of your choice in your headphones, as long as it cannot be heard by people around you.

+ Can I take communion in the Prayer Room?

The communion table is open for a time of personal communion whenever the Prayer Room is open.

+ Can I worship with flags in the Prayer Room?

Sunday Awakening Services - Please refrain from flag usage unless you're on the Flag Team.

Weekday Prayer Room - You may use a worship flag in the back half of the room or near the bleachers. Flags should not have any words or images on them. Flagging should never hinder a walkway, or be near another person where they could be hit. Worship flagging is meant to bring unity and provoke worship - if it is causing distraction or hindering others from focusing on the Lord, you will be asked to refrain from flagging in the future.

Children are permitted to flag during weekday Prayer Room sets. No flagging at the altar, please.

+ Can I bring my own instrument to the Prayer Room?

No outside instruments in the Prayer Room, including shofars, tambourines, drums, etc.

+ Can I pray over people while I’m in the Prayer Room?

Always ask permission. Always pray with someone of the same gender. Pray in groups of three whenever possible. If you deliver a prophetic word, make sure it is uplifting and edifying, in alignment with the character of God as seen in scripture, and refrain from anything involving specific dates, future mates, or babies. Always submit a word humbly (no “thus saith the Lord,” please), and ask the individual if it resonates. Please do not pray over a person under the age of 18 without the parent’s permission and presence.

+ How do I reserve a Retreat Room?

Our vision for the Retreat Rooms (2nd floor of Prayer Room) is for believers from our city to be able to reserve a room for an hour or a whole day to retreat with the Lord in a distraction-free environment. A reservation platform for Retreat Rooms is coming soon!

+ When will the Large Retreat Room be available for nursing mothers?

The Large Retreat Room is open for nursing mothers during Prayer Room hours unless otherwise reserved. On Sundays, the Large Retreat Room can be used by nursing mothers during services.

+ Is there a vision for the Prayer Room to be 24/7?

We will open the Prayer Room for as many hours as the Lord provides the people and resources. We are not striving for 24/7 by any means - however the Lord wants to build His house, we will be grateful!
