One Canopy

We exist to see Tampa Bay transformed through regional, night and day prayer. Every congregation carries its part. Every prayer rises like incense before the throne.

Mission

Why we're standing watch

"We exist to see Tampa Bay transformed through regional, night and day prayer."

Core Values

What holds the canopy up

John 17 Unity

The oneness shared by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit becomes the pattern for how our congregations relate to one another. Not sameness. Oneness. We choose love over competition, honor over division, and shared mission over individual ambition.

First Love Devotion

We are returning to the devotion of the early Church in Acts, longing for deep compassion, shared life, constant affection for Jesus, and wholehearted devotion to prayer and the Word.

Compassionate Justice

Our prayers move toward the hurting places of our city, not around them. We believe our intercession results in real action: mercy, justice, kindness, service, and sacrificial love.

Generational Legacy

We honor the generations who carried the flame of prayer before us. We take responsibility to carry it faithfully in our time, and to pass it on to those who come after.

Vision

What We See For Tampa Bay

We see One Church, One Spirit, One Canopy over Tampa Bay. We see the Church uniting across denominations, generations, cultures, and communities as one unbroken offering before the Lord. Every person carries their part. Every congregation takes its place. Every prayer rises like incense before the throne.

Together, we will stand in the gap and prepare the way for the King of Glory. Zeal for His house burns within us. We are raising an altar in our city that alters the city, with Tampa Bay held in continual intercession by a Church choosing covenant over competition and oneness over separation.

Through humility, sacrificial love, justice, and service, dividing walls will fall, broken places will be restored, and Jesus will be revealed in every sphere of influence.

We contend for the joy and fear of the Lord to be restored across our region, for unity among congregations, hearts reawakened to first love, and a mighty harvest of souls. As we keep watch together, night and day, we believe the presence of God will cover Tampa Bay, embolden the Church, and transform our region.
