About the Event

Explore the potential of the healing ministry of the Christian faith to bring real healing and hope into the world today, and raise your confidence to be a healing presence whether you have a clear ministry, or you simply feel drawn to explore this way of understanding the Christian life.


This course is made up of four, two-hour workshops. The aim of the course is to raise confidence in the healing ministry by looking at the foundations of the ministry, examining good practice, looking at the modern world into which this ministry is offered and having space to reflect on personal experience and context

You will enjoy professionally filmed content, and a carefully designed and tested learning experience. You will also receive a pdf workbook which contains key materials and space for you to take notes and discern the ways in which you are being called by God to respond to the course. We can also promise you great content, and space to reflect in small groups about your own journey and the ways in which God is calling you to be a healing presence in the world today.

In this course you will:

  • learn about the history of the healing ministry in the Christian Church;
