Prayer

In 2007 Crossover opened it’s new Prayer Patio on the front side of the church. This specific space and ministry has been established to support the various prayer-related needs of the Crossover family. This includes praying after services with those who have been especially challenged by the message, praying with someone to build a relationship with Christ, and praying during the church services.

We engage in and encourage every type of prayer that is consistent with what we find in scripture. Crossover regularly schedules meetings where we participate in corporate prayer as defined by Jesus in Matthew 18:19-20. “I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you. Whenever two or three of you come together in My Name, I am there with you.”

We also make an effort to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable in being transparent and offering spiritual support to each other as instructed in James 5:16. “Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.”

Additionally, this ministry provides an opportunity for members to receive prayer for specific needs as indicated in James 5:14-15. “If you are sick, ask the church leaders to come and pray for you. Ask them to put olive oil on you in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”

Prayer is a necessity as it is communication with our creator. We believe that it is crucial for a growing relationship with God and for the advancement of His Kingdom in this world.
