In the begining... The Secret Place Christian Fellowship had its beginning in the Fall of 2005. In a small rented room on Welland Avenue in St. Catharines, a small group gathered to praise the Lord and hear the Word of God. We weren’t there long before we moved into the Pastor’s home on Vine street, also in St. Catharines. Less than a year later in January 2007, we moved to 4501 Queen Street Niagara Falls, and then in August of 2009 we moved to our current location on Zimmerman Avenue also in Niagara Falls. In a time of prayer and fasting the Lord gave us a vision of a healing centre. It was very specific and encompassed 7 different aspects of ministry: 1. Teaching in the Word, Bible studies and seminars You can come to The Secret Place four nights a week and get filled up on the Word of God. Monday nights we do a bible reading and discussion, Thursday nights it’s a bible study, every Wednesday and Sunday you can come out and hear an awesome message. We also occasionally have seminars on various topics throughout the year. 2. Counselling, guidance and discipleship We believe it is not enough to just lead a person to the Lord. We must stand along side of them and walk with them guiding and counselling as they learn to walk with Jesus. 3. Deliverance through casting out demons The ministry of deliverance is overlooked in most churches. Without deliverance from oppressing spirits many people would not be able to live a life for Christ. This ministry is one that Jesus did while He was on earth and we believe we are to continue doing what He did. 4. Healing through prayer and the laying on of hands This is another ministry often overlooked by churches, with people believing that sickness is God’s will. We believe we are walking in God’s kingdom NOW, and in His kingdom here on earth just like in heaven there is NO sickness, therefore we pray for the manifestation of physical healing. 5. Deeper intimacy with Christ through prayer soaking Occasionally we spend some time in quiet contemplation, being still knowing He is God; allowing soothing music to bring us into a place of intimacy with our Lord. 6. Fellowship, music and food The Secret Place is BIG on Fellowship! We believe God wants us to be gathered with other like minded individuals, to strengthen, comfort and encourage one another. 7. Resources such as books and DVD’s We have a library and resource centre, which contains many Christian resources such as reference material, fiction, non-fiction, self-help, magazines, music CD’s, movies, DVD’s, etc.
