Houses of Prayer

Throughout Sherwood’s history, God has used certain prayer initiatives to move His vision forward. One of those “vision moving” prayer initiatives has been House of Prayer. The weekly rhythm of House of Prayer has allowed believers an opportunity to write prayer cards, pray for church plants and mission partners, and pray for requests that impact the total life of the church. 

But every ministry will face two logistical challenges: time and location. When a ministry happens at a certain time and in a specific location, it limits engagement to those who can meet those two criteria. We believe so much in the impact of House of Prayer that we want to bring it to everyone, at all times, and in every location. 

House of Prayer is becoming Houses of Prayer. It will be the same basic content, same focus, and same overall format. But the new format will allow everyone to be involved, where they are, and at a time that works for them. That includes those who are traveling, sick, or just unable to get to a specific location.
