Gathered together on this page is an extensive and growing collection of short prayer videos, suitable for individual devotion, small group prayer and corporate worship during church services. All these films can be watched for free on this site (or on our youtube channel) and many are available to download and keep in high definition for a small fee.

This page is organised into sections, beginning with famous prayers (such as "The Lord's Prayer" and "The Serenity Prayer"), daily prayers (e.g. morning and evening prayers), petitions (for strength, protection etc.) and prayers for healing. There also sections for prayers through the year (Easter, Thanksgiving etc.), events (such as for opening meetings) and children and family prayers. At the bottom you'll find our creative videos. These explore themes such as God's Kingdom and the remarkable nature of God's love.
