24-Hours of Prayer

  • In Your Home or Your Location of Choice (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Since the very beginning when Canyon church was first being planted (2003), prayer has always been an essential part of who we are. We’ve held several prayer vigils over the years, especially during crucial moments in the life of our church family.

In 2012 before we moved into our buildings, we spent 24-hours in prayer over the work that would take place at this location.  That started an annual tradition and here we are in 2026, getting ready to dedicate another 24-hours to prayer. With this focused event, we greet the new year by focusing on God, and bringing our praises and our concerns to Him in prayer.

This year will be a little different! We will be asking for participants to vow to pray for one hour (minimum) on their own during the 24-hour period between Saturday, Jan. 17 at noon until noon on Sunday, Jan. 18 at the location of their choosing. (You will not be coming to the church building like we’ve done in past years.)

  • To commit to praying, please sign-up online or on the sign-up sheets available in our worship center. You will receive a prayer list, resources, or other instructions as we get closer to the event date.

  • If you have any questions, please contact our Youth & Family Minister, Carter Milam.

WHY BIBLE CLASSES?

Maybe you’re wondering why we offer Bible classes, when we already learn about God through our weekly sermons. Our classes are a different type of interactive learning environment where you can go deeper into your study of God and his word. You can ask questions, wrestle with ideas, and learn and grow with others. Our classes run for 12 weeks, so that also means you can really dig into a topic or book of the Bible in more depth and detail. Our classes are also a great place to meet and connect with other believers and be encouraged by their shared stories and insights.
