The Birth Of The Healing Word Church
“Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it"
~Luke 19:41 NKJV~ "You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ ".
~1 Peter 2:5 NIV~ "Praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved". ~Acts 2:47 NKJV~ |
In May of 2007, The Healing Word Church was birthed,
In the little town of Pioneer California. It began as the Holy Spirit revealed the call and anointing on the life of Mary Ann Barcklay, to both herself and her Senior Pastor. Mary Ann had been an Assistant Pastor for 12 years when she was asked by her Senior Pastor what she saw God doing in her life. She began sharing with him what she believed God was speaking to her. She told him of the day she was driving through Pioneer and was drawn to a small shopping center. The Spirit of the Lord spoke to her, saying "I Want A Work Here". It was confirmed through the Holy Spirit to her Senior Pastor; who began the paperwork process with Foursquare International, to pioneer a church in Pioneer. Eight months later the church opened in a small area in the shopping center.

Our Scriptural tenet is Psalms 107:20 ~NKJV~ ....."He sent His Word
and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction's."
the Lord had used this scripture many times to
bring healing to Pastor Mary Ann.
The Healing Word, is a hospital for many to come to, and receive healing
through the truth of His Word. They are set free from lives of destruction
and sin, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

"Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood".
~Acts 20:28 NIV~ |
Since the beginning of the Healing Word Church, there has been three
assisting pastors added. Pastor Karen Rose leads the Prayer and Women's Ministry. Pastor Vivian Wilson Leads the Children's Ministry, and Pastor Dave Wilson Leads the Men's Ministry. And Of course they do much more than just those ministries. |
"The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. It is God's way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone".
