Great Lakes Region

Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Ontario, and Pennsylvania

We may be called to «fight the good fight of the faith» (1 Tim 6.12), but we were never meant to fight it alone. If you’re looking for a meaningful community of leaders united by a commitment to the things that matter most to the heart of God, you’re in the right place.

Join the Weekly Regional Call

A wise old saint once said, «We learn to pray best, by praying together.»

Join other pastors and leaders from the Great Lakes  Region online each week as we learn to seek the face of God, together, in Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer.

Wednesdays at 7:30 AM, 10:00 AM and/or 1:30 PM
(all times eastern)

  • First three weeks = Regional Prayer Meeting
  • Fourth week = Fellowship and Q&A
