Prayer and Faith Worship Center Celebrates Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in
Lumberton N.C.–May 17, 2026
Prayer and Faith Worship Center proudly celebrated its official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on May 17, 2026, at its new location, 1106 N. Water Street, Lumberton, North Carolina. The special occasion marked an exciting milestone for the growing ministry as church leaders, city officials, community partners, and local residents gathered to welcome the church into the Lumberton business and faith community. Pastor Rodger and Pastor Donna expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended and helped make the event a memorable success. Special thanks were extended to Pastor Rogers, the Mayor of Lumberton, members of the City Council, the Lumberton Chamber of Commerce Board and Committee members, and the Chief of Police for their presence, encouragement, and warm welcome. Their support demonstrated the strong spirit of partnership that exists within the Lumberton community.
The ceremony, coordinated in partnership with the Lumberton Chamber of Commerce, provided an opportunity for guests to tour the church, meet ministry leaders, and learn more about the vision and mission of Prayer and Faith Worship Center. The event highlighted the church’s commitment to serving both the spiritual and practical needs of individuals and families throughout the region. Prayer and Faith Worship Center is guided by the mission statement, “We come to worship and depart to serve.” This mission is reflected in two primary areas of ministry. First, the church is dedicated to worship, discipleship, prayer, and biblical teaching through its regular worship services held on Sundays and Wednesdays. Second, the church seeks to serve others through meaningful outreach ministries that extend beyond the church walls.
Among its community–focused efforts, the church supports orphans in Kisii, Kenya, ministers to elderly residents at the Carrolton Nursing Home, operates a food pantry, and maintains a clothes closet to assist individuals and families facing hardship. These ministries reflect the congregation’s desire to share God’s love through both word and action. “We are honored and humbled by the support shown by our community,” said church leadership. “This ribbon cutting ceremony represents more than the opening of a building–it represents a commitment to worship God, serve people, and be a source of hope, encouragement, and compassion throughout Lumberton and beyond.” Prayer and Faith Worship Center welcomes all who are seeking a place of faith, fellowship, and service. The church looks forward to continuing its mission of impacting lives and strengthening the community for years to come.
