PRAYER MINISTRY

At Woodlands Church, we want to cooperate with the work of God’s Holy Spirit and see lives transformed as we journey towards increasing wholeness.

Prayer Ministry is an opportunity to encounter the power, truth and love of God as someone prays with you, discerning and passing on what they sense God has for you. This could be healing, forgiveness, blessing, encouragement or freedom.

Prayer Ministry happens at Sunday services, in mid-week groups and at events such as our Wholeness Courses or by arrangement on a one-to-one basis.

A Woodlands core value is that ‘everyone is a minister’. Anyone who has become a Christian and has had experience of the Holy Spirit has the power and authority to pray like Jesus did.

TRAINING & COURSES

Learning what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit helps us to tune in to the different ways in which God speaks to us. Through Woodlands Church Academy, our School of the Spirit offers free courses to help people feel more equipped to pray for others.

Foundation Training Course
Next course in 2025
Explore what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit! This course includes teaching, real-life stories, worship, discussion and practice. It’s open to everyone and covers the basics of how to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit with a focus on salvation, confession, forgiving, healing and freedom.

Advanced Prayer Ministry Training
Tuesday, 29th October from 7.45pm - 9.30pm
This training is for those with some experience who want to be equipped to face challenging ministry situations and feel confident in extended ministry times, such as on the Wholeness Course. It covers how to minister with confidence, share prophetic words, bring release and freedom from ongoing negative influences.

Prophecy ClinicS

1 Corinthians 14 says: “The one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.” We believe God speaks to us today and that prophecy is the act of listening for a personal word from God.

Each month, we run a prophecy clinic to give an opportunity for people to hear what their heavenly Father has on His heart for them, who he has made them to be, and what he is calling them to do.

Prophecy Clinics take place every 2nd Sunday of the month from 4.50pm - 6:30pm in the Crypt. Sign up using the diary is required.

What happens on the day at the clinic:  
You will be introduced to a team of three or four people who will briefly pray for you and then spend some time, quietly listening to God for you.  Then the team will share what they feel God is saying and one of the team will write down a summary of what is shared, so that you can take it away with you (or you can bring a recording device or phone that can be used to record your session).  Each session will last around 25 minutes.
