Prayer Ministry Training

Prayer Ministry
We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to transform lives, and at the heart of our approach is a cry that we would rely on the power of the Holy Spirit more than our own abilities or skills. Our prayer is that we would experience the genuine & authentic power of the Holy Spirit at work, and as we seek to fulfil the Great Commission we want do so through seeing a “demonstration of the Spirit’s power.”

Over the years, alongside great testimonies of seeing the power of God at work, many of us can share experiences of either being hurt, or seeing people hurt, through people misusing their freedom in Christ. Whether this has been through a lack of training, or insensitivity, going forward it is important we try to learn from the mistakes of history and attempt to avoid repeating them.  We want our church to be a safe place, where the Holy Spirit has freedom to move and people can encounter Him in ways that help people to grow in their faith.

We have therefore committed to providing training for our congregation in how to pray for people well, so that we can see God at work in people's lives to bring healing, wholeness and freedom.  We believe in the "priesthood of all believers" and that every believer should be able to pray for others using the gifts of the Holy Spirit. However, when praying for people as part of the ministry of the church, we want to make sure that those who do this have received a firm grounding in how to do this appropriately, safely and effectively.

At Burton Elim, we deliberately create space within our services for the Holy Spirit to have freedom to move, and offer the opportunity for prayer as part of this.  However, for some people there is a need for a deeper more in-depth level of ministry to help deal with deeper roots, and we have a team of people who can offer this by appointment.  Contact the church office for more information

Key information about the church...

   

Where & when does the church meet?

We are "One Church in Two Locations" and  meet every Sunday at 10:30am at both of our buildings.

Moor StPrincess Street

Moor Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 3SU and Princess Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 2NR

We have limited parking at Moor Street and sadly there is no dedicated parking at Princess Street, you will need to find street parking nearby, but there is usually parking not too far away and we would encourage you to plan to arrive in time to find a space.

More details can be found on our locations page

 

What should I expect when I visit?

You will receive a very warm welcome at both of our locations, and our Welcome Teams will be happy help and answer your questions.  

Each week our services
have a time of sung worship, communion and a Bible based message relevant to today.  We encourage our congrgeation to participate and so there is usually opportunity to pray, be prayed for, and share words of encouragement.

Refreshments
Tea, coffee and biscuits are served before the morning service at Princess Street and after the service at Moor Street. Both venues offer plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

   

What happens to the kids at church?

Children stay with their parents at the start of the service in both congregations so we can worship together, before going out to their own age related activities.  We do ask that for safeguarding reasons, children are pre-registered when you arrive.

Moor Street

KidsChurch Colour NoBackground

We have a fantastic Sunday based Church for Kids programme that runs in our community centre building (The Corner) across the road from the main building.  We ask parents to accompany their children across the road, and also to pick them up once the service has finished.  Every Sunday we offer:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years) in our small family room at the rear of the main church building
  • Little Stars (3-5 years - Pre-School age)
  • Shooting Stars (5-7 years - Infant School age)
  • Comets (8-11 years - Junior School age)
     

Princess Street

Our children's work runs in a room behind the main worship area in the same building as the main congregation, and every Sunday we offer a single 5-11 year olds group

Is there anything for Youth?

Asset 1

Our Youth Work, Limitless, runs at our Moor Street congregation, and is for 11-16's.  As with Kids Church the youth join with the main congregation to begin with before leaving part way through the service to their own age related activity.

Their programme varies week to week; usually they meet in the room behind the platform in the main building, apart from on the second Sundays when they join with the Church for Kids in The Corner building, and on fourth Sundays they saty in the main congregation adn are encouraged to get involved.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
