Welcome to First Baptist Church of Irvine/Tustin

The People Place




Effective Fervent Prayer. . .
Prayer is essential for the spiritual development of our Christian lives. If we think we can live without prayer, we will begin to trust ourselves rather than God.

The Prayer Ministry begins with each member of the church family bowing in the "prayer closet" and spending time alone with the Lord praising, worshipping, and seeking His heart. The prayer ministry grows out of this personal relationship with God.

It is important to recognize that the youngest Christian has the same access to God, through prayer, as the oldest saint. Prayer is not preparation for battle...Prayer is the battle.

  • A house of prayer at First Baptist Church of Irvine/Tustin..."My house will be called a house of prayer for all the people." (Isaiah 56:7)

  • A lovely prayer room that is quiet and private..."Go into the room, close the door and talk to God in secret." (Matthew 6:6)

  • Getting to know God better through prayer - how prayer changes you - that real friendship with God comes through prayer - that prayer does not fit us for the greater work, but prayer is the greater work.

  • The Watchman Prayer Ministry. You will be assigned one hour of your choosing to pray each week in private at home, at work, at church, or wherever your private prayer place is..."I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night."

  • Our Crisis Prayer Chain where critical prayer requests are prayed for immediately. Join the prayer chain according to your area code. In Romans 15:31, Paul asked others to pray that he might be rescued.

Have a Prayer Request or Praise?

Your prayer request or praise item may be turned in on the registration cards located in the bulletin, during Sunday morning or evening services or you may call the Church Secretary at (714)544-3070 during the week. When requested, your prayer request or praise item can be published in Our Weekly Prayer List, an all-church publication designed to encourage our congregation to pray for each other. In addition to personal requests, prayers are lifted up regularly for the nation, missionaries, salvation of lost souls, job seekers, and students.
