Citadel Cathedral of Prayer International

We are The Citadel of Prayer International Inc. “The Healing Center” (COPI) located 13604 Old Annapolis Road in Bowie, Maryland.

The word “Citadel” means fortress, sanctuary, and/or refuge and “prayer” simply means request, appeal, and a dialogue to God. We exist to build a refuge of prayer for the nation or a place where prayers and petitions are answered. COPI was founded on June 28, 2010 in District Heights, Maryland by Bishop Thomas Ridgley who is currently residing as COPI’s Senior Leader.

COPI was founded 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 that states, "If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

We are a multicultural, Judeo-Christian Ministry that operates under a solid prophetic and prayer mantle with a focused on building a House of Prayer for ALL people.

We are here to bring unity back to the body of Christ. We are committed to praying and seeking the face of God until he answers. We want you to know that we are here to pray you through, to fellowship, to meet the needs of the people and to do true ministry according to the book of Acts. We know that every church is called to do a specific work so, we would like to connect with you in any way we can so that we may operate as a body with unity and love.If you have a prayer request, questions, or contribution inquiries, please call our main office at 202.630.8267 or email our Director of Operations at citadelofprayerint@gmail.com.
