Plan your first visit
All are welcome in the prayer room. Here is what to know before you come.
What to expect
The Prayer Room is a place for long, unhurried hours of worship, prayer and time in the Word.
You are welcome to join in the worship and prayer, read your Bible, study, journal, or engage in private prayer. You may sit, stand, or pace up and down the aisles.
We ask that whatever you do, you do it in a way that honors and serves the other people there and is not disruptive to their time in the prayer room.
The Prayer Room does not replace church. It exists alongside the churches of Lafayette and surrounding areas, giving people more time to pray than happens at church alone.
When to come
Open Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays
We meet on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. See the full weekly schedule, including what each session is.
