What We Offer
Intercessory Prayer
Intercessory prayer is a major focus of our ministry. We encourage you to send your prayer needs to us. Prayer requests are prayed over for a week or two (depending on the nature of the request) by a small group of trained intercessory prayer ministers. They are held in confidence and will not be seen by anyone other than our intercessors. Click here to Submit a Prayer Request.
Personal Prayer
Unlike our Intercessory Prayer Ministry, our prayer ministers pray and interact with you on the telephone or over the Internet during Personal Prayer Appointments. As soon as safety and county health regulations permit, we will also offer in-person appointments onsite at the Branches of the Cross campus. Anything that is said is held in confidence; our prayer ministers will not reveal or discuss it with anyone else. With your permission, praise reports and testimonies, however, may be preserved and anonymously posted from time to time on our website.

3-Day Intensive Prayer Ministry Retreat
Some of the problems and wounds people experience are too deep, or too pervasive, or too well hidden, or too numerous, to be dealt with through intercessory prayer, or even by a personal prayer appointment. Sometimes there are circumstances, habits, false beliefs, judgmental attitudes, unwise commitments, or other things that prevent people from receiving the healing they need. Sometimes people are unaware of, or have forgotten or repressed, the root causes of their problems, and it takes time to bring them to mind. The Christian Healing center offers a 3-Day Intensive Prayer Ministry Retreat to meet these needs. Click here to learn more and to download an application to attend a 3-Day Retreat.
1-Day Saturday Ministry Retreats
To serve people who work and find it difficult to take three days off to attend a 3-Day Retreat, and to provide follow-up for people who have attended a 3-Day Retreat, we are now offering 1-Day Healing Retreats. It is a condensed version of the three day. The talks are less comprehensive, there are three prayer sessions rather than five, and there is no closing Eucharistic service.
Some Saturdays will duplicate a day of the 3-Day, while others will feature a different theme such as going deeper in your relationship with Christ.
Training for the Healing Ministry
The Christian Healing Center periodically presents training programs to prepare people to serve in the healing ministry, either with us or at their own churches. We have used The School of Healing Prayer from Christian Healing Ministries, the Order of St. Luke’s training program, and the one-day program developed by our church founder Fr. Timothy Laundrie. We have also co-sponsored weekend conferences with other area churches, bringing in well-known speakers from around the United States and other countries.
