At Central Christian Church we have six core values listed on our Web site.  They are prayer, all people, the Bible, authenticity, involvement, and future generations.   When you check out the Central Web site, you will find prayer listed first.  As a community of believers, we seek God's guidance and direction through prayer in all that we do as a church and in all aspects of our daily lives.

It is only fitting that a room be designated for the primary task of the church-prayer.  At the Glendale Campus, we are proud to have designated one of the rooms in our office area as our Prayer Room. 

The Prayer Room serves our people in at least three ways:

First, it is a place to worship and pray to God. 

Second, it is a center of intercessory prayer where people "stand in the gap" on behalf of the Body of Christ. 

And, third, the Prayer Room includes outwardly directed prayer that is evangelistic and community-centered.
