Embark School of Prayer

Encounter. Equip. Empower.

Due to the amount of applicants for Embark 2024, our registration is now closed. For more discipleship opportunities, you can visit Ephrata Community Church’s website here.

In our prayer and presence-focused school, we provide a space for students to encounter God, be equipped in the Word, and empowered by the Spirit. There is nothing sweeter than getting to know Jesus in the secret place and learning to pray for what is on His heart. We believe this is available for every believer.

Embark is multi-generational, open to anyone 11th grade and up. Whether you are in the midst of high school, raising a family, or in retirement, you are invited to join us in the passionate pursuit of God!

EMBARK INTERNSHIP Testimonies

I came to Embark desiring more healing, more presence and new ways of being. Jesus gently highlighted areas in my heart that needed to be surrendered and given first place back to Jesus. The week long fast almost kept me from committing to Embark, but it was the very thing that caused Holy Spirit conviction and repentance. I’m grateful to Jesus that I am a life that has been changed so that rivers of living water will flow from within me.

— Deb M.

Embark began with surrender and searching and it has ended in worship and growing intimacy. God has been so faithful and really has shown up.

I have rested in the Father’s arms, sat next to Jesus in the glow of his presence, and have not only received, but also experienced, the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I’m no longer a slave to striving but now a much loved son of the Father.

— Garth S.

Before Embark, I had drifted away from the Lord. He wasn't first place in my life like He was before. Throughout Embark, God met me in ways I never knew were possible. He restored my identity fully in Him and purified my heart. He knew exactly what I needed and that was more of Him. God encapsulated me in His love, in His presence and in deeper intimacy with Him. I will forever be changed; He transformed my life and revealed Himself to me in ways that I never thought were possible. I love Him with an undying love. I am willing to look like a fool for Him because He is worthy of all of me. I am excited to see the mountain tops and valleys He'll take me to and all the lives He will touch through me.

— Ellie M.

Starting week one, God gave wisdom and insight into staying in the throne room while living life here. By the middle, he exposed and replaced irritation with joy in regards to my coworkers. By the end he was exposing to me the need to be a father and bring others into relationship with Him, not just salvation but relationally.
