Vision

The vision of the Boulder House of Prayer is to engage in God’s Heart for the city of Boulder through prayer, worship, and service to the community.

Mission

The Boulder House of Prayer is a community committed to praying for God’s will to be done in Boulder even as we work to reach the lost, heal the broken, help the poor, make disciples, and impact the seven spheres of society (family, religion, education, media, celebration, economy, and government). We see ourselves as a servant organization and desire to work with the larger Body of Christ to serve the Great Commission as we follow His Great Command to love God and love others.

Practice

As the Boulder House of Prayer, our primary goal is to partner with God in creating and sustaining an environment of continuous prayer and worship. We believe that God responds when His people pray, so we believe that we are most productive when we are in the prayer room. We also recognize that God likes to use people of prayer to answer prayers and that He has called us to be in the world (though not “of” it), so we allow Him to take us from the prayer room into areas of service to our community. It is because He wants people of prayer involved in society that BHOP partners with others in the Body of Christ to reach out the community in ways that deliberately engage in the seven spheres of society. Practically, we do this by praying for issues and for influential people in society, by training and equipping people to pray effectively even as they engage in society, and by engaging in society ourselves. We believe that God has specific plans, passions, and purposes for individuals, so we encourage people to pray, to worship, and to serve Christ wherever they are and wherever their passions are.

The 20/20 Vision

20/20 Leadership at the Boulder House of Prayer expects to demonstrate the vision of the House through their actions. Believing in the power of prayer, this core leadership team engages in prayer for the community with at least 20 hours of their time. Seeking to partner with God in answering prayer, leadership engages in service to the community with another 20 hours of their time. Leaders will choose an area of particular service focus within the community that reflects their talents and passions and that deliberately impacts at least one of the seven spheres of society and that builds the House of Prayer. In a lifestyle of cooperation and partnership, leaders will develop relationships with a team of partners with at least two hours of their week.
