The WV Church—United 55 Strong in Prayer.
Achieving Unity through Humility.
September 29, 2018, 12:30pm | WV State Capitol Steps
Whether you agree with their cause or not, there is no denying that WV
captured the attention of the nation and the world as teachers, from every
county, stood together in unity. Unity is a powerful statement. Unity
commands attention. Unity shapes history.

A Jericho Moment for the WV Church
We believe that is event can be a “Jericho moment” for the WV church. As we
gather united in humility to pray, we expect walls to fall.
gather united in humility to pray, we expect walls to fall.
- Race will not separate us. WV Christians of every race and ethnicity
will gather. - Denomination or doctrinal persuasion will not separate us. Protestants,
Catholics, Charismatics, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, Calvinists, Arminians
and others will all gather. - Political parties will not separate us: Democratic Christians,
Republican Christians, Libertarian Christians, Independent Christians and
other political persuasions will all gather. - Economic class will not separate us: Upper class, middle class, lower class
(and no class) will gather. - Age will not separate us: Christians from every age will gather.
We intentionally desire to honor the older generations and empower
the younger generations through this event.
We believe that the severity of the issues in our state and nation necessitates the
church setting aside our differences for the unifying causes of prayer and humility.
We will focus on the exaltation of Jesus and the principles on which we agree.
church setting aside our differences for the unifying causes of prayer and humility.
We will focus on the exaltation of Jesus and the principles on which we agree.
Unifying Principles
- The Lordship of Jesus. We desire to see Jesus’ worth proclaimed
to our state and world. We believe there is no other name in Heaven or
Earth by which man can be saved (Acts 4:12). - The Authority of Scripture. We believe Scripture should direct our belief
and practice. We share a desire to pursue the righteousness of God as
outlined in Scripture. Turning from our wicked ways is a mandate given to
us by God (2 Chronicles 7:14). - Humility. We will gather in humility before God asking Him to heal our
land. But we will also gather in humility toward our brothers and sisters—
preferring others over ourselves (Philippians 2:3). We will seek unity through
humility.
Desired Outcomes for the Event
- Unity: As already mentioned, unity is a powerful statement. Unity commands
attention. Unity shapes history. God blesses unity in His Church. Many of us
have been diligent to seek unity within the Body of Christ in our immediate
communities. This gathering will build upon that as we seek unity across the
entire state of WV, as Jesus’ Church from all 55 counties, gathers in one spot to pray. - A Testament to the World: We believe that an intentional, unified effort, by
the West Virginia Church from all 55 counties, gathered at one place to pray
and exalt Jesus, can be a powerful testimony to an unbelieving world around us.
Jesus prayed that His church would be one so that the world would know who He
is (John 17:23). We believe that something spiritually significant happens when
Jesus’ Church sets aside its differences for His glory. - Relationships: We recognize that an event alone will not bring unity to the body
of Christ in WV. However, we expect that the relationships formed leading up to,
during, and following this gathering will be the foundation for ongoing unity in the
Church across the state of WV. We believe that new, ongoing city, county and
regional initiatives can be cultivated and existing efforts can be nurtured through
this prayer gathering. - Statewide Spiritual Awakening: We believe that revival—the sovereign move
of God in a community—comes as a direct response to prayer. We believe that
it is time for the church of WV to come together, united—55 counties strong—
to ask God to heal our land. While many of us are already praying for this, we
recognize the power of a united church coming together in one place, in one mind
and one accord. - A Catalyst: We pray that this united event in WV will catalyze other states to
launch intentionally inclusive, state-wide prayer gatherings. We believe that this
gathering can serve as a strategic part of God’s plan to bring awakening to our
state and world.
What we will do when we gather:
- We will gather with humility before God and toward our brothers and sisters
to pray and worship. - We will have representatives from every county of our state lead some
element of our prayer time. - We will confess to God that working separated from each other is not winning
the battle against evil in our state, nation and world. - We will commit to making every effort to pursue unity and keep the bond of
peace with each other. - We will commit to return to righteousness in our personal lives.
- We will ask God to bring unity to His Church.
- We will ask God to heal our land.
- We will pray God’s blessing over each county in our state.
- We will pray God’s blessing over each other.
