Worship & prayer Room
AUDITION & APPLICATION

The Heart Behind Worship & The Prayer Room

In June of 2024, VICTORY launched the Prayer Room with the purpose of creating a resting place for the Lord and hosting His presence in Sarasota where He can be exalted day and night.

Get Involved

We are excited about your interest in serving on the Worship & Prayer Room team. Ministering to the heart of the Lord is our highest value. Our desire is to build the Prayer Room with thoughtful intention and care in order to sustain it for years to come. Therefore, we have a specific process for applying to this team. The goal is not simply to increase the number of sets or fill positions on teams but rather to build quality sets and teams like King David built.

“There were two hundred eighty-eight of these men, and all of them were skilled musicians. David assigned them their duties by asking the Lord what he wanted. Everyone was responsible for something, whether young or old, teacher or student.” 1 Chronicles 25:7 & 8
