Cleansing Stream’s mission is to transform our culture of brokenness by teaching and equipping individuals, families and communities with tools of healing, freedom and release into wholeness.


To do this, Cleansing Stream employs a variety of courses and events by which we achieve our mission. The courses we offer have curriculum that can be taken individually, within a small group setting or in a church classroom. With Cleansing Stream, you have flexibility. 

Some of the curricula stand alone, while others lead towards in-person or online events.

Through Cleansing Stream curricula, you can expect to experience increased clarity and understanding about foundational teachings of the faith because:

  • You will feel God’s peace growing in your life.
  • You will shake off limitations to your growth while insights from your past are revealed to you.
  • You will cultivate a newfound love and appreciation for God.
  • You will find you benefit from the depth you uncover when you take a course more than once.
  • You will be able to lay hold of and easily share nuggets from what you are learning.
  • You will find practical things to begin to implement in your life.
  • You will learn ways to get along better with others.
  • You will learn what it means to retain what you’ve learned and refuse stagnation in life.
  • You will begin to release burdens you didn’t even realize you were carrying.
  • It will make you a more effective minister of the Gospel.
  • You will find motivation to continue growing in your faith and to attend the event where you will learn how to pray more effectively about problems in your life.

At the events, you will experience and learn prayer tools that will help you incorporate the disciplines of the faith.
