COMMUNITY + PRAYER + DISCIPLESHIP
The Residency Program
A prayer movement is being birthed in Santa Barbara that we believe will trigger transformation for Christ in California. Santa Barbara House of Prayer (SBHOP) desires to join and fuel this movement through sustained prayer in the heart of Downtown. We are commited to interceding for Santa Barbara and seeing Jesus' prayer in John 17 answered - the Church of Santa Barbara unified! We believe the result will be a City set free from sickness and bondage, and God's saints working together to be the hands and feet of Jesus, solving fundimental City problems (homelessness, drug addiction, prostitution, the need for gangs).
We are inviting individuals who are called to impact Santa Barbara, serving God through SBHOP while living in community. SBHOP Ministry Houses (male and female) are located in Downtown, walking distance from the prayer house. Two dozen individuals will be sellected to enter a life-changing community that functions in three ministry teams: Evangelism Outreach , SBHOP Hospitality, and Media Group.
Fill out the application today! We are excited to meet you and work together for it to be in Santa Barbara as it is in Heaven!
