What is Hollywood Prayer Network?
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!

Our History
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.
