Morning Prayer is a way for students to experience God each sunrise. We believe that through prayer, hearts are opened to the Lord, so what better way is there to start your day that is full of classes, work, and extra-curricular activities other than prayer? Occasionally prayer is in a group setting, however most of the time it is intended for individual, personal, and intimate time with the Lord. Come join us as we command the morning and grow closer to God!
