THE PRAYER ROOM

The Heart Behind 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.

Prayer Room Hours

All of our Prayer Room hours are listed in our Events Calendar below.

Location

The Prayer Room is located at 5250 17th Street, Suite 115, Sarasota, Florida, 34235
We have a large parking lot located on the backside of the building.  We also have a limited number of handicap spaces in front (if they are not available, feel free to pull up and drop them off at the door!)

Get Involved

We are excited about your interest in serving in the Prayer Room. 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 process of coming into the Prayer Room. 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
