Prayer has been described as the glue that holds the church together or as the engine room that provides the power for the church to move forward. At City Temple we want to see every Christian developing a prayer life that is personal and powerful so as to see God’s Kingdom come. The church provides many opportunities for prayer – from small groups to central church and citywide prayer meetings. Check the schedule for further details.
