If you are thinking about visiting the Illinois Valley House of Prayer for the first time we would like to extend to you a warm invitation. We would be honored to have you visit us and check out what God is up to in our midst.  We understand it can be intimidating to visit a new place with a new group of people so please know it is our desire to make you feel as comfortable and accepted as possible.  Please note that it is not required of you to be a follower of Christ to attend any of our prayer meetings.  As a community we only engage in wholehearted worship to the triune God of the Bible (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit)  but we would love to have you join us regardless of where you are at on your spiritual journey.  We believe that many answers for the souls deepest questions can be found in the presence of God through revelation released by the Holy Spirit.

All are welcome to come and go freely and to stay in the prayer room as long as they like within the designated hours. While in the prayer room, feel free to join in with the corporate worship and prayer, read your Bible, study a favorite commentary, write in your journal, or engage in private prayer. You may sit, stand, or pace up and down the aisles. Whatever you do, we ask that you do it in a manner that honors and serves the other people in the room.

​When you arrive you can expect to see

• ​Live or streamed worship music
• People praying individually, in small groups, and/or corporately (It is quite acceptable to simply engage in private prayer if you are uncomfortable praying with others)
• People reading their Bible & meditating on the Scriptures
• People worshiping the Lord through song and dance
• People worshipping the Lord through the use of art (painting, drawing, sketching, etc.)
