We are a global network of Christians who believe in the power of prayer—and we are praying for the world's most influential mission field!

In Hollywood, we serve entertainment professionals through community groups, worship, networking, mentorship, and of course, prayer!

Around the world, we have a community of faithful intercessors, who lead our local chapters, pray for entertainment professionals in 1-on-1 partnerships, and gather regularly via Zoom for prayer and worship.

Whether you’re a believer working in Hollywood, or an intercessor called to pray for the creatives who shape our culture, there’s a place for you at Hollywood Prayer Network.

Welcome - we’re so glad you're here!

Through varied events, activities, prayer gatherings, and community groups, we meet all year long and intentionally create lasting and meaningful friendships while staying missionally-minded to share our faith on sets, in writing rooms, in dance studios, and wherever God has placed us!

Expect prayer! Expect faith, and being cheered-on! Expect a diverse, respectful atmosphere where we prioritize letting go of the "performance-mindset" of our creative industries and where authenticity and vulnerability shine! We are intentional, devoted to God, and are the culture shapers in our churches, vocations, and friendships!

Hollywood Prayer Network (HPN) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization seeking to build a bridge of love and respect between Christians in the Church and professionals in Hollywood.

Our passion is to challenge global Christians to engage with culture thoughtfully, to intercede for the media, and to help transform the spiritual climate of Hollywood through love.

We’ve seen a growing community of Christians in entertainment who are experiencing God’s presence in powerful ways.

At HPN, we support and encourage them to be excellent professionals who use their gifts to reflect God’s love in their work, their relationships, and the broader creative community.

The Hollywood Prayer Network exists to identify, connect, and encourage Christians working in Hollywood and throughout the entertainment industry. Through prayer, community, and spiritual support, we empower them to reflect the love of Jesus Christ in both their personal lives and creative work.

We mobilize Christians around the world to pray for individuals in the industry—ensuring that every believer in entertainment is supported in prayer. We also coordinate intercession for the broader entertainment community and the content being created, with the hope that all who influence culture through media would come to know their value as children of God and seek a deeper relationship with Him.

We envision a global movement of Christians united in heartfelt, hope-filled prayer for the people shaping our culture through entertainment. Our desire is to see the Body of Christ in Hollywood grow in strength, unity, and spiritual depth—creatives who live out their faith authentically and reflect the love of Jesus in all they do.

We long for a day when the stories told through media carry greater truth, light, and beauty—because the people behind them are walking closely with God. Through our relationships, our prayers, and the work we create, we hope to see lives transformed and hearts drawn toward Him, one project and one person at a time.

We believe in the triune nature of the one true God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ; and His imminent return to claim His church. Though we favor no denomination over another, we are followers of Christ, born again, working to cultivate the fruits of the Spirit in our lives and pursuing a more personal relationship with God. We believe that it is by grace through faith in Jesus that we are saved. We are dedicated to living, working and praying with our brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry according to the example given to us in the Bible, the Word of God.

We believe that prayer is a direct conversation with God. There are many people who believe that prayer is preparation for the "greater works" that God has for each of us. But we believe that prayer IS the greater work.

In July of 2001, TV producer Karen Covell founded the Hollywood Prayer Network (HPN) with the support of the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. She believes that Hollywood is not “Sodom and Gomorrah” but “Nineveh” – it is a redeemable place, full of redeemable people.

Over the years, HPN has seen attempts to “change” Hollywood fail because Christians outside of Hollywood want the content of films, TV shows and music to change, without praying for the hearts of the people creating it to change.

We know that the content won’t change until lives are changed. HPN believes God is the only one who can touch the lives and hearts of the decision makers and creative community in Hollywood, and He will only do that if His followers humble themselves and pray.
