2026 Churchwide Fast

January 4th - 10th

  • Fasting is intentionally giving something up to focus our attention and energy on God.

    Examples:
    Liquid fast: Refraining from solid foods
    Daniel fast: Eating fruits, nuts, vegetables, + whole grains

    When deciding on a fast, we encourage you to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.

  • Every year as a church, we come together to fast + pray as we seek God for the year ahead. Our hope is that you would experience God in a new + fresh way.

    Fasting helps reset our souls, quiet distractions, and renew us from the inside out.

  • Fasting opens your eyes.

    Just as research shows that physical fasting can improve eyesight, spiritual fasting clears away what blinds us and sharpens our spiritual vision.

    Fasting re-centers our hearts to see God as our true source and acknowledges His provision in our lives. It’s a declaration that He is our source.

  • We’ll conclude the fast by coming together on Saturday, January 10th at 5p for Encounter, a powerful night of worship at our Central Campus.

    This will be an expectant gathering where we create space for God’s presence to move in remarkable ways.

  • We’re uniting in prayer during our churchwide fast, believing God for fresh vision and renewal.

    Monday, January 5
