21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
Join us in-person or online
March 16 - April 5
The 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting is a spiritual practice observed as a focused time of prayer, fasting, and seeking God. We often hold ours in January and in September as a way to deepen our faith, grow closer to God, and align personal or collective goals with His will.
Prayer
- Spiritual Renewal: To grow in relationship with God and seek His direction.
- Intercession: To pray for personal needs, church ministries, communities, and global concerns.
- Discipline: To practice self-denial through fasting as a way to focus on spiritual matters.
- Breakthrough: Many believe it’s a time to ask God for breakthroughs in specific areas of life, such as relationships, health, finances, or ministry.
When we fast, we....

- we exchange what we need to survive for what we need to live --a deeper and more intimate relationship with God. Fasting is the willing abstinence or reduction from some or all food, drinks, or both, for a period of time.
- Participants often choose a fast that fits their health and circumstances while still being sacrificial.
