Vertical Galilee House of Prayer

A room in the Galilee House dedicated to worship and prayer. It is our vision to see daily worship and prayer rising like incense from this place, and you can be part of it.

Everyone on the program can schedule a weekly prayer watch, or more. We also host the Kehilat Poriya service here every Friday afternoon, 3:30–5:30 PM.

Intern with us!

Our 3-month internship program invites brothers and sisters from the nations to practically serve the local community in the Galilee.
