Welcome to the Prayer Ministry of West Shore Church

altMost of us understand prayer as a conversation with God. It's prayer that Jesus invites us to in Revelation 3:20 when he says "if anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in a eat with him and he with me."  A praying church is like a family gathered at the table; Jesus is present because he promises to be where two or more are gathered in his name. Around the table we commune over ideas, concerns and needs.  

West Shore understands that becoming ike Jesus is becoming a people of prayer—faithfully taking our place at his table and entering into conversation with him and with each other.  
 
Will you consider "joining the conversation" as well?  Please visit our volunteer page here or share your prayer requests and praises here.  But let's remember that prayer really can't be programmed; wherever two or more are gathered in Jesus' name, prayer happens!

We currently have the following opportunities for prayer available.  Please contact me here
if you are interested in making a difference.

►Prayer Chapel
West Shore's quiet space for those who wish to pray and meditate—a sanctuary reserved
for anyone who desires to meet with God. Feel free to visit any time the building is open;
simply inform the front desk that you will be using it. On Sunday mornings the chapel is
staffed with people willing to pray with you should you desire it.
