About DKnox Ministries

A research agency devoted to the science of prayer

Founded and led by Dr. David Knox, DKnox Ministries unites scholarly inquiry with pastoral devotion to help believers and the Church understand, practice, and mature in prayer.

Our Founder

Dr. David Knox

Dr. David Knox is the founder and director of DKnox Ministries and the leading voice behind Proseuchéology — the theological science, systematic study, and disciplined practice of Christian prayer. His work proceeds from a conviction that prayer is not a peripheral devotional habit but the very heart of the believer’s communion with God, worthy of the same rigor the Church brings to any other doctrine.

Under his leadership, DKnox Ministries examines prayer through four integrated lenses — Scripture, theology, spiritual formation, and practical application — tracing the Hebrew and Greek vocabulary of prayer, situating it within the Trinitarian structure of the faith, and translating that scholarship into guidance believers can live.

Dr. Knox directs the ministry’s principal project, Spiritual Assessment, which applies the ten dimensions of Proseuchéology to help individuals and congregations see the true shape of their prayer life and pursue deliberate, Christ-centered growth.

Research

Exegetical and systematic study of prayer across both Testaments.

Formation

Assessment and guidance that mature believers in the discipline of prayer.

Our Mission

To establish prayer as a rigorous theological discipline — examined, taught, systematized, and practiced with precision and spiritual depth — and to equip believers to pray to the Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit.

Our Vision

A Church whose prayer is deep, informed, and whole — moving through every dimension from praise to persistence — so that the Kingdom of God advances in every sphere and God is glorified in all things.

Our Values

Convictions that shape our work

Scriptural Fidelity

Every conclusion is tested against the full witness of the Old and New Testaments.

Scholarly Rigor

Exegetical, theological, and historical precision in the study of prayer.

Spiritual Formation

Knowledge that transforms — study that matures the believer in Christ.

Christ-Centered Authority

All prayer offered in His Name, by His merit — derived, never inherent.

Theological Balance

Bold yet humble; guarding against presumption and imbalance.

Kingdom & Glory

The gravitational center to which all our work returns.
