Healing Prayer Ministries

Prayer is powerful.

Our program is patterned after The Christian Healing Ministry (CHM) School of Healing Prayer in Jacksonville, Florida founded in 1980 by Francis and Judith MacNutt as they sought to advance our Lord’s ministry of healing through prayer.

Healing Service in the Style of Taizé

What is Taizé?

 Taizé is a small village in France that is home to an ecumenical community of one hundred Catholic and Protestant monks from around the world. They are devoted to the idea of peace through meditation, silence and prayer.  Protestant pastor Roger Schutz-Marsauche founded the community in 1940. In 1945 the first brothers, all Protestant, arrived from Switzerland. Today the community is made up of more than 100 brothers from different Christian faiths and more than 25 different countries.
Taizé (pronounced: tay-zay) is a prayerful form of music known for its simple, yet rich and meditative character. Taizé music often takes the structure of an ostinato (a simple melody that repeats over and over) and is meant to serve as a kind of musical centering prayer.

Sample Music

Join us every third Tuesday of the month for meditation, music, scripture, and prayers for a Taizé service. This healing service is a wonderful way to strengthen your relationship with God in a peaceful setting. Doors open at 7:00 pm for personal meditation. For more information, contact the Church office at (505) 830-0572.
