As a church and a community, Grace DC Downtown considers how to pray – both corporately and individually. Praying together as a church community helps us as we individually struggle with unbelief, forces us to be honest with God and one another, and changes our perspectives. We come to him humbly because we know our faith, our lives and the life of our community depend on Him. We pray because we have glimpsed the power of God at work in our lives and the lives of countless others, and we long to see God’s grace radically change our lives, our city and the world.
Corporate Prayer Opportunities Include:
- Monthly for Missions: Each third Sunday of the month from 7-7:30pm after church. Come pray with us for the missionaries Grace DC supports, for current world events and for what God is doing throughout the world.
- Weekly for the City: Tuesday mornings from 7:15-8:15am at the Church Office. Join with others from our community in praying for the needs of Washington, DC and for the ways we can extend God’s mercy to this place and its people. Contact Justin >>
