We know that prayer is communication with a living Person, not a ritual or an empty set of words. We consider it a privilege to speak openly and simply to our loving Heavenly Father as Jesus taught us to do.

We are committed to become a praying people, more and more. Our vision is to be truly a "house of prayer"- a people that sees prayer as our first response, not our last resort. We want everything we do to grow out of prayer and be saturated in prayer. We pray whenever we get together for any purpose: in "official" meetings, in small groups, or on the phone. We talk with our Father before we undertake any project, when we need to make decisions, when someone we are sick or in trouble, when we need ideas, or when we have mountains in our lives that need moving. We pray for each other, we pray for our country, we pray for the world. We tell God that we love Him, that we need Him, that we desire His will and protection and intervention in this world.

If you have a prayer need, send an email to prayer@vcfbarn.com to have others join with you in your request to God. Church members can ask that a request be publicized to our church family for unified prayer. If you are a member reading this, please take a moment to ask for God's grace on the pastors and other leaders of this church.

We currently have a prayer room set up in the lower level of the Barn that is available at any time for those who want to come and pray privately or in small groups. We have weekly times of intercession in homes. Periodic emails are sent to our church family containing requests and needs from members. We are in the process of developing a prayer strategy that will strengthen all that is currently in place and add new aspects as God leads us.
