Join us in 2026! 

On Thursday, May 7, 2026, we are hosting the 2nd annual National Day of Prayer, in Stone Creek which will be the largest multi-church prayer gathering in Ocala.

Stone Creek residents will join 10 area pastors from Marion County for a unified time of worship and prayer. Together, we will lift up our families, churches, community, and nation—seeking God’s wisdom, mercy, and peace.

📍 Location: Stone Creek — Pavilion
6111 SW 89th Court Rd, Ocala, FL 34481

⏰ Time: 11:00 AM

This outdoor service is open to all residents in Stone Creek and the multi-denominational presence of area churches reflects the heart of Jesus’ prayer “that they may all be one.” On the National Day of Prayer, believers from various churches and denominations will stand together in faith, humility, and hope.

More details coming soon.

We hope you’ll join us as we pray—together—for our city and our nation.
