Vital Prayer Summit

October 3-5, 2025

The Speakers

What would happen if we followed Jesus' advice, "My House shall be called a House of Prayer?" What will it take to make prayer contagious? What would it look like if we came together to find out how we, the church, can be ready for the final events of earths history and have God's Holy Spirit Power to share this with everyone?


Our two main speakers will unpack "Vital Prayer" from their perspectives. Randy Maxwell is the vice president for administration for the Washington Conference. He is a prayer warrior at heart and has a desire to see all people in all churches praying and ready for Jesus to come. He has written the book, "Closing Prayers,."  Kevin Wilfley, a retired ministry and active in prayer ministry, will share miraculous stories of how God answers when people pray.  His book, "Prayer Miracles" is hot off the press.


Many prayer warriors are already praying for this event and so we know that you will be blessed beyond measure at this "Vital" prayer summit!  Pray about it and watch for announcements when registration opens.

Breakouts at the Vital Prayer Summit

Biblical Principles in Growing Prayer Meeting

Bill & Darlene Howard have studied to apply these principles as they lead their church in weekly prayer meeting. As a result of the Holy Spirit guiding their efforts, the Athol Adventist Church is seeing growth in their prayer meetings.


Creative Prayer

Kathy Marson & Cheryl Wallace are both retired from UCC and serve on the Prayer Action Committee. Together they guide you as you create tangible items to share prayer with others so they “know” and “see” and “feel” that people are praying for them. You will have the opportunity to create prayer blankets, promise cards, and prayer rocks, etc.


Prayer and Action in Your Community

Richie Brower is  UCC associate director of Serve One More. Join him as he shares how praying for your community helps bring the action your community needs. Discover the joy of serving neighbors in meaningful ways and learn more about being “the hands and feet of Jesus – one act of service at a time!



Prayer Journaling 

Patty Marsh is retired from the UCC Community Service and Women’s & Children’s Ministry. You’ll learn practical ways to make journaling a meaningful part of your prayer in this fast-paced and uplifting seminar —whether you prefer a notebook, a guided template, or an Excel spreadsheet. Even with a busy schedule, prayer journaling is possible. Discover how this practice can bring focus to your devotions, strength to your prayer life, and a lasting record of God’s faithfulness.


The Priesthood of All Believers

Stephen Farr is the pastor of Pendelton and Pilot Rock Adventist churches. During his “The Priesthood of All Believers” session, he will share his personal testimony and practical tips on how you can grow in your personal walk with Jesus. And he will share how prayer, praise, devotion and service are essential to our relationship with Jesus.
