We Pray First

Prayer is our first response, not our last option. When you Pray First, you open the door for God to do far more than you could ever ask or imagine. As we seek Him together, faith rises, unity deepens, and spiritual energy builds.

What Prayer Does in Your Life:

  • Prayer sharpens your faith.
  • Prayer creates deeper intimacy with God.
  • Prayer is powerful and brings about change.

Join Us to Pray First:

We believe every boy has been uniquely created by God with purpose, potential, and a calling on his life.

Royal Rangers will help boys in grades K-12 discover who God created them to be and equip them to become the men, leaders, husbands, fathers, and servants He has called them to become through team building activities, group bible study, and training in a wide variety of skills.
