Presence Church is a non-denominational church called to host the presence of God. In 2022 we were commissioned to “prepare a place for my glory to dwell so that people may encounter me.”
We started in October 2022 as a worship event called ‘Presence Nights’ in the city of Stoke-on-Trent. From the outset, the presence of God was experienced through significant healing and prophetic ministry. These once a month gatherings continued until March 2023 when we were led to pioneer Presence Church.
Resurrection Sunday, we pioneered Presence Church as a weekly Sunday evening expression. Our times together continued to be marked with physical healing, freedom ministry and signs and wonders.
As we journeyed with Holy Spirit in the formative months of Presence Church, it became clear we were to be a city church that hosted the presence of God and to equip the people for works of ministry.
supernatural provision was made for Presence Church to take possession of a well known city centre property. The former popular nightclub has been transformed into “a place for His glory to dwell so that people may encounter Him”.
Presence Church moved into the Trinity Street property in February 2024 in the cafe, transitioning to Sunday morning gatherings. We then moved into the Sanctuary in March 2024.
Presence Church has experienced significant growth. The first six months in the sanctuary saw capacity reach its limit as people encounter the presence of Holy Spirit, bodies are healed, souls are set free, the prophetic is operational and salvations become a weekly occurrence.
Presence Church has also launched its E4:12 Academies where people are equipped for the works of ministry in the areas of evangelism, prophetic ministry and healing and deliverance.
Moving forward into early 2025, Presence Church is pioneering a second church plant in the city, releasing emerging leadership and ministry gifts.
