Prayer School

Do you feel comfortable and confident when it comes to prayer? Do you enjoy praying? Do you understand why, as Christians, we pray? Have you experienced the transformative effect of prayer?

Prayer School Online returns next month for the opportunity to learn and actively engage in the prayer liturgy that Pastor Brian Zahnd, founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri, has developed during a lifetime of pastoral ministry. This prayer school will help you gain a fresh perspective on the purpose of prayer and will provide you with a sustainable framework for personal prayer.
