Maine is facing a pivotal moment for faith, family, culture, and civic life. In moments like this, Christians need more than information. We need courage, clarity, prayer, and one another. At Pray for Maine: Faith & Freedom 2026, believers from across Maine will gather to remember where we came from, pray boldly for where we are going, and be encouraged to live faithfully in our own time. Drawing from the themes of his newest book, REVOLUTION: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World, Eric Metaxas will help us reflect on the spiritual foundations of American liberty and consider why faith, freedom, and courage still matter today. This is more than a lecture. It is a call to remember, to pray, and to act. We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of worship, prayer, encouragement, and challenge.

We believe that many people are facing many obstacles caused by hurts, habits, and hang ups. All of us of are effected by our life experiences, positive and negative. We carry it all with us and it can make people stuck. This program is about digging deep and evaluating what areas of our lives are we mentally and emotionally stuck. What is holding us back? Is it fear, pride, embarrassment, low self esteem, anger, or addictions etc. In this program people learn to stop relying on themselves, because we tend to get ourselves into trouble. We encourage participants to start relying and trusting in a higher power, God. We offer lessons to help people discover what is weighing them down, how to start trusting and listening God. We meet them where they are and work towards healing and freedom. This program is not a quick fix, it takes time and commitment from people. It's completely free, come as you as you. We have weekly meetings at Framework Church in Presque Isle, ME! Meetings are for women at this time. Address is 387 Centerline Road, Presque Isle, ME. Meetings are every Thursday 6:30pm-8:00pm!
