COP Mission Statement:

Communities of Prayer (COP) strengthens community and encourages discipleship by establishing schools of prayer and equipping the Body of Christ so that, unified, we can contribute to the New Evangelization.

The Pope's Call for a Year of Faith and our Response to the Call:

Many have heard the Church’s' call to participate in the New Evangelization. The Pope is calling for a year dedicated to faith and the new evangelization. This goal can only be met by a Church that is strengthen in community and formed by discipleship. When we follow Jesus, praying the way he prayed, and living the way he lived, then and only then will we evangelize the way he did. This is the call we must respond to, we must fall in love with Christ. The greatest saints and the most effective evangelizers were always first lovers of Christ. It was a love motivation that was the instrumental drive that allowed their communities to be set on fire. We must do the same, we must fall in love.
