Free Chapel Pastor Jentezen Franklin and the church’s worship team had the honor of leading worship for the event, with Franklin playing the saxophone.
Pray for our Free Chapel team today. They will be leading worship and I will be playing my sax at The White House Faith Office Easter lunch. It’s an honor to celebrate Holy Week singing The Old Rugged Cross, How Great Thou Art and Amazing Grace with faith leaders from all over the country.
Among those there included Pastor Greg Locke, who wrote on X :
Thank you Lord for a beautiful Faith Leaders gathering at the White House. Amazing to hear our President @realDonaldTrump talk so freely and openly about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Ministers Jenny and Stephen Weaver also shared about their visit to the White House, with Weaver posting a video on Facebook, writing:
White House Ready! From living on the streets to walking around the White House.. Only God! Spent yesterday and today walking through DC prophesying and declaring the Word of God and releasing prayers of freedom and deliverance through the beautiful White House today.. SO SURREAL
She also shared an additional photo, writing, “Some places you get invited to and you just don’t understand why you… That’s us today.”
Mercy Culture senior pastor Landon Schott described the event:
It’s always an honor to be invited to the White House, especially on Holy week of Easter!
To hear the President share the story of the resurrection was special. He declared, “America needs more faith and will be rededicated as one nation under God!”
One of the most meaningful moments for me was a spontaneous conversation with the Vice President. I got to share that at the beginning of this year I fasted 40 days for him and his family praying for protection wisdom and a real encounter with God.
Being in a room with national and world leaders worshiping praying in the Spirit and contending for our country was beautiful. There was reverence there was unity and there was a genuine desire to honor Jesus during Holy Week. Seeing the presidents cabinet come together in that setting was really cool.
As Schott put it, “God is not done with America.”
Pastor Travis Johnson also shared many photos and videos of the event, including one of the Old Rugged Cross being sung.
Donné Clement Petruska, who is the daughter of the late prophetic voice, Kim Clement, also attended the event.

She also shared that her husband was among those outside to see a rainbow over the White House. Could this potentially be a prophetic sign that God is working things out for America?
My husband was outside and saw this! @petrowashere https://t.co/QWd9EJQz6N

As worship echoed through the halls of power and the name of Jesus was lifted high in the nation’s capital, the moment served as more than just a gathering—it was a reminder that God is not finished with America.
From prayers over leadership to songs declaring the power of the cross, this Holy Week event pointed to a deeper truth: when a nation turns its attention back to the Lord, even in small ways, heaven takes notice.
