God’s Word
God's Word is our foundation and final authority (2 Timothy 3:16).
Our story began in prayer in 2016. In 2017, our pastors followed God’s leading and moved to Concord, North Carolina. In 2021, they stepped out in faith and began a Bible study in their home—the beginning of New Healing Place Church.
Since then, we’ve watched marriages restored, hope renewed, and people step into their God-given calling. Prayer remains at the heart of who we are. Rooted in God’s Word and attentive to the Holy Spirit, we are building a church family where people encounter Jesus, experience healing, and grow in faith and purpose—a place where every person is seen, known, and loved.
Prayer is where our story began, and it remains the foundation of who we are.
God's Word is our foundation and final authority (2 Timothy 3:16).
Prayer is our posture. We humble ourselves and seek God for our city (2 Chronicles 7:14).
The Holy Spirit empowers our life and mission.
We believe God still speaks, heals, and restores. We pursue His leading with Scripture as our foundation and humility, discernment, and love guiding how we minister.
Our apostolic and prophetic identity shapes how we care for people and help them grow. For us, prophetic ministry means listening for God’s direction and weighing what we hear against Scripture, with humility and the wisdom of others. Apostolic ministry means building healthy foundations, raising leaders, and equipping people to serve.
We help people develop spiritual gifts—the abilities God gives us to strengthen and care for others—alongside character, biblical understanding, and a growing relationship with Jesus. We are building a family of believers who know Jesus, recognize His leading, and carry His love into their homes, workplaces, and communities.
