The Greater Ontario House of Prayer (GOHOP) is a praying community, following the way of Jesus through shared spiritual rhythms. As part of a larger, global prayer expression within 24-7 Prayer, we exist to serve and equip the Church and do our part to create, nurture and sustain a local, Hamilton expression of prayer.
As a house of prayer ‘for all nations’ we are called to practice and champion rhythms of personal and corporate prayer in a way that celebrates the diversity of prayer in the Global church, past and present.
We are committed to a lifestyle and spiritual practices that will help us become formed into the likeness of Christ.
We are committed to serving the Church through prayer, teaching, spiritual direction, resource-sharing, prayer courses & internships, and regular, annual prayer events.
We are getting ready to move into our new prayer space. In the meantime, our gatherings continue in different locations!

Explore becoming a GOHOP Companion. Companions participate in the GOHOP Community and live by a Rule of Life. There is no financial cost, and a few hours per month of commitment, this is designed for anyone from moms, to students, to those working full time. This is for those who are already familiar with GOHOP. If you are not, we recommend first taking an Internship or Prayer Course.
The best onramp into the GOHOP Community is to take our Internship. This 3 month immersive experience is designed to take you deeper in your faith, exploring Spiritual Disciplines, and the Work of the Holy Spirit. You will grow in Community, and have the opportunity to serve and learn in the Prayer Room. Internships run in the Fall and Spring.

“The vision is Jesus. Dangerously. Obsessively. Undeniably Jesus...”
“Those who give themselves to prayer and worship and communion with the living God often find that their prayers have legs, legs that take them out of the prayer room and into their neighbourhoods, cities and nations.”
