University
Equipping believers to go deeper, serve faithfully, and step into lasting ministry.
helps others find freedom.
The need has never been greater. Churches are looking for trained, Spirit-led people who can walk alongside others as God brings healing and freedom. Cleansing Stream University exists to raise them up.
CSU is a four-module advanced ministry training program for those who have completed the Cleansing Stream Seminar and One Day Retreat. The goal is to train and equip people to serve on Cleansing Stream ministry teams at retreats nationally and internationally. What they gain through that training naturally flows back into their local church as well.
This is not passive learning. You are not just watching videos or reading a workbook in isolation. CSU combines video teaching, personal workbook study, and real hands-on experience at retreats and in your CS group. That combination is what makes it stick and what makes it last.
Most who begin with Module 1 don't stop there. Something shifts, and what started as curiosity becomes a calling. They find they want to go further, not just for themselves, but to bring others into the same freedom.
Open to those who have completed the seminar and the retreat twice. A group experience where the workbook is purchased individually but the journey happens in community. You may also try our online course on your own as a starting point to see if you want to go deeper.
For those approved to serve. Requires pastoral recommendation and a genuine call to serve alongside Cleansing Stream.

stirring in you.
Module 1 is for those who have completed the Cleansing Stream Seminar and One Day Retreat twice and sense there may be more for them. You don't need to know exactly where it leads. But you should come with a genuine desire to grow and a willingness to consider how God might want to use you to serve others.
This is a group experience by design. The teaching is shared in community, the workbook is completed together, and growth happens in relationship. Most people who work through Module 1 with others find that something stirs in them. A calling begins to take shape. That is exactly the point.
If no group is available in your area yet, the digital course gives you access to the full video teachings so you can begin while you look for a community to connect with.
Purchase the physical workbook and complete Module 1 with your church group. Video teachings are led by your group facilitator.

The purpose of this training is not only to prepare you to minister to others, but to teach us how to position our own hearts before the Lord to allow Him to do a refining work in us.
The issue is not that God doesn't speak, but that God does speak and people don't notice. He speaks through dreams, pain, and a variety of other ways.
Prophetic Intercession is speaking what God sees, what God knows, and what God wants and desires for another person so that they can then speak for themselves.
Strategic Intercession is a level of prayer and intercession which is often an untapped weapon of warfare that when tapped into has amazing results in the Spirit realm.
Ready to go further.
If something shifted in you during Module 1, this is what that feeling is pointing toward. Modules 2 through 4 are not just continued education. They are preparation for active ministry, serving at retreats, equipping your church, and becoming someone who walks alongside others as God brings healing and freedom. This path is selective, not because we want to limit who can serve, but because we take the privilege of ministry seriously. We are looking for people of character, humility, and genuine hunger to see others walk in freedom.
Your church leadership affirms your character and readiness. This path is meant to be walked with the blessing and covering of your local church.
You don't need to have it all figured out, but you are ready to engage, serve, and grow. Faithful presence matters more than perfect preparation.
There is something in you that wants more than head knowledge. You want to grow in your gifts, deepen your faith, and become someone who walks with others into healing and freedom.
If you sense this is your next step, the best starting point is a conversation with your pastor, your seminar coordinator, or our team.

Module 2 builds on the foundation of Module 1, moving into the core disciplines of ministry character. You will walk through forgiveness, servanthood, identity in Christ, and the power of the blood, equipping you to serve from a place of wholeness rather than wounds.
This module is part of the committed path and is designed for those actively serving or preparing to serve with Cleansing Stream.
Gain a greater understanding of the power forgiveness has on us and on those we choose to forgive. Release them, and you will be set free.
Pastor Raymond Pettitt
To have the heart of a servant as Scripture commands, it definitely takes leaning on the Holy Spirit in all areas of ministry.
Pastor Chris Hayward
The word Christian means Christ-one. As a Christian, you are identified with God. His nature and character are becoming part of who you are.
Pastor Sharon DeBoer
Understanding the blood of Jesus helps us understand the depth of God's love and the covenant we enter into with Christ, a covenant that is not to be broken.
Pastor Ray BeesonGrowing in authority.
Module 3 moves into deeper territory, addressing the spiritual blockages that keep people from experiencing lasting freedom. You will learn to recognize entry points for spiritual oppression, understand the power of inner vows and judgments, and grow in the kind of team prayer that sees real breakthrough happen.
This module sharpens your ability to walk with others through the harder places, equipping you with both understanding and practical tools for front-line ministry.
A believer can open doors and give demonic access through entry points in their life. This session covers the 7 most common entry points and how to recognize and close them.
Pastor Randy Garvey
The enemy uses painful experiences to lead us into inner vows that imprison us. This session helps us recognize those patterns and break free from the agreements that hold us back.
Pastor Sharon DeBoer
God has called us to be burden-bearers and to come alongside others in prayer. This session teaches how to pray with a team in a way that sees broken hearts healed and strongholds broken.
Pastor Chris Hayward
Blessing in Scripture is much more than favor and material things. From a biblical position, blessing is seeing, speaking, and living from the perspective of God.
Pastor Kerry KirkwoodSustaining breakthrough.
Module 4 is the final step in the CSU journey and the most advanced. It prepares you to recognize and confront the religious spirit, break down strongholds, and understand the distinctions between sin, transgression, and iniquity. The module concludes with one of the most important and often overlooked questions in ministry: how do you sustain breakthrough after it happens?
By this point in the journey, you are not just learning. You are being shaped into someone ready to stand on the front lines and help others walk into lasting freedom alongside God.
One of the most formidable attacks on the believer is the religious spirit. It is pervasive throughout the church and sits at the heart of division and strife. This session teaches how to recognize it and stop its advance.
Pastor Chris Hayward
What is a stronghold and how does it get established? This session shows how to uncover and break down strongholds using God's weapons, and reveals the unique role worship plays in both building and tearing them down.
Pastor Chris Hayward
Many Christians are confused about the difference between these three words. Understanding their unique qualities will strengthen your walk with the Lord. There is no sin, transgression, or iniquity that Christ cannot forgive and transform.
Pastor Michelle Holverson
God warned the ancient prophets about incomplete healing. This session addresses how to sustain the breakthrough you have received so that freedom becomes a lasting reality, not a temporary experience.
Pastor Terry Inmanare being trained for.
Every person on a Cleansing Stream ministry team was once where you are now. They took the first step, something shifted, and they kept going. Now they stand in the gap for others.
never stops flowing.
People who serve for a long time without ever being served begin to change in ways they do not always notice. It is subtle at first. The passion is still there, the faithfulness is still there, but something underneath begins to thin. The well that once felt deep starts to show the bottom. Ministry was never meant to flow in only one direction.
This is why we invite those who serve on our ministry teams to periodically come back as participants — to sit in the retreat not as someone who has arrived, but as someone who still needs what God has waiting for them there. And He always does. Every single time. There is always more.
The most grounded people on our teams are the ones who have learned to receive as freely as they give. That posture of openness is not a sign of weakness — it is the very thing that keeps their ministry alive and genuine.
Everyone needs ministry. The longer you serve, the more true this becomes. Depth in ministry flows from depth in your own walk with God.
Returning sharpens you. When you go back as a participant, something in your heart softens and remembers. That remembering makes you better at everything you do on the team.
The cycle is the point. Participant to Intercessor to Anointer and back again — this is not a step backward. It is the shape of a life that stays yielded.
Whether you are just beginning to sense a calling or you have been serving for years, there is a place for you in this. The stream is moving. You are welcome to step in wherever you are.
The journey does not end when you begin to serve. It simply takes on a new and fuller shape.
