Equipping U: Simpsonville Hub

Most of us know we should pray, but many of us aren’t sure how or where to begin. In this study, we’ll rediscover prayer not just as a religious duty, but as a life-giving conversation and transforming encounter with God. Together, we’ll explore:
– What Jesus teaches us about prayer in the Lord’s Prayer
– How Scripture and daily rhythms shape rich, consistent prayer lives
– And how to pray with awe, honesty, intimacy, and power
Come experience what it means to not just talk to God—but to truly encounter Him.
