Our confession
What we believe as a ministry — rooted and anchored in the Word of God.
Prayer Tower Fellowship Church stands on the whole counsel of God. The Bible is our foundation, Jesus Christ is our head, and the Holy Spirit is our guide.
Rooted in the Word
These convictions shape how we worship, how we serve, and how we build bridges of prayer within families.
01
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God — God-breathed, without error in all that it affirms, and the final authority for faith and practice.

“God’s word is a lamp for our feet and a light for our path.”

“The Father gives another Helper, the Spirit of truth, to remain with believers.”
03
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ: He is the eternal Son of God, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary; He lived a sinless life, was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, and rose again bodily on the third day; He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father, and He will come again.

“Repentance and baptism in Jesus’ name mark the believer’s response to the gospel.”

“Jesus promises power when the Holy Spirit comes, making believers His witnesses.”
