Our Ministries
Christy Pierce Ministries
At Christy Pierce ministries, we are a community of believers with the common vision of helping people of all generations grow in learning how to experience God’s presence more in their daily lives through the Holy Spirit. Specifically, we teach, train and equip people how to (1) hear God’s voice in biblically balanced and practical ways (2) Pray for healing for themselves and others (3) Grow in their personal prayer lives and intercession. (4) Experience God’s presence and power so they can “shut up” the negative voices they hear in their own minds that can lead to destructive and damaging behavior.
Youth & College Students: Our Shut Up Ministries
If you’re a young person, life is harder than when your parents were young. What you’re learning in high school, is what we parents were learning in college. The pressure on you to make good grades, succeed in sports and do insane amounts of homework is too much! I don’t have to tell you that young people your age are suffering. Most likely, either you are struggling or know a friend who is in pain. You know that teenage suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among teens age 10-24. You’re aware that many youth are struggling with eating disorders, drinking, drugs, feeling bullied, depressed, anxious and even suicidal. In the Bible, Jesus says that enemy’s mission is to “steal and kill and destroy,” (John 10:10) and that “satan is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44). Some of the lies the enemy whispers say, “you are ugly, you are unloved, you are stupid.” Other lies are more extreme such as: “harm yourself, cut yourself, or even kill yourself.” No one understands all this pressure and pain more than Jesus. In this session, Christy will help you know what messages you’re hearing are from God, what’s negative messages tearing you down and what’s from the enemy. God wants to give you spiritual power to tell the enemy to “shut up!” After the session, safe people will be there to confidentially pray for you or your friends who want more to experience more of God’s power and love. Check out some of our clips from this talk.
Healing and Prayer Ministry

Whispers Of God Ministry
Christy is often invited to speak at churches, conferences and retreats on how to hear God’s voice more in your personal prayer life. Her God is Whispering to You book is often used as a practical manual in helping equip Christians in how to hear God’s voice in biblically balanced ways that transform their own personal relationship with Jesus.
During these conferences, people have extraordinary experiences of hearing God whisper to them in ways that are life changing. Christy helps others (regardless of their age or spiritual maturity) have real life encounters with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. It’s a time filled with funny stories, laughter and encouragement that the “normal person” can hear God in new ways that build their faith that God is here and speaking to me! Christy doesn’t just speak at these events, she and her team come to pray and minister. There is an opportunity for every person to receive prayer during the weekend.
