Ellel Grange is the International Headquarters of the ministry and is where the work began, back in 1986. It is a beautiful country house, from which we offer a wide selection of healing and training events.

Welcome

Here at Ellel Grange it is our heartfelt prayer that all our guests meet with the Lord and feel His welcome as they come through the doors of this beautiful building. God is doing amazing things here in the lives of His children and we, along with all of the team, would love to welcome you here with us to experience a fresh touch from Him in your own life.

We have many different courses depending on where you are at in your walk with Jesus. These include unique single-day teaching events, to long-weekends that host courses such as our deeply impacting Healing through Creativity experience. Many of our courses include the opportunity to receive life-changing prayer ministry alongside practical teaching and training. For those that just want to focus on receiving personal healing prayer ministry, we offer free Healing Retreats.

Our History


On 31st October 1986 Ellel Grange, a country house in the North West of England, was acquired in a miraculous way. Nearly half a million pounds was required for the property and its contents and on the completion date, as Peter Horrobin sat at his desk and totalled up the gifts and loans that were available, he could hardly believe his eyes. The income that had been received exceeded the amount needed by just £6! God had worked a miracle, the building was purchased, and the work began.

Our History... continued

Ellel Grange is the International Headquarters of Ellel Ministries. It is the first centre from which Ellel Ministries operated and we have been busy holding healing and training events, seeing God move here in this place since October 1986. The ministry has grown enormously with centres now in over 30 countries around the world. We have a full-time team of approximately 35 people which is made up of amazing men and women of all ages and from all over the world. We also have a wonderful volunteer ministry team who come in to help on our events. We are tremendously blessed with a fabulous building – Ellel Grange is an Italianate villa, finished in 1859, in the same style as Queen Victoria’s Osborne House on the Isle of Wight.

It isn’t just a cliche, I am a new person.

Explore

At Ellel Grange, Explore is a series of weekend courses designed to train and equip God’s people through a journey of learning, understanding and personal transformation.

Explore is ideal for those who would like a training course spread across a whole year (with an option to do a second year’s course), enabling you to enjoy rich fellowship with new friends, discover and apply healing principles in your life and that of others, and grow in a deeper understanding of your personal relationship with God. The core aims of the course are to envision your walk with the Lord, grow your spiritual gifts, cleanse and heal past and present wounds in your life and help prepare your next steps in what God has for your life. Between each course you will have the time to use your Explore teaching notes and journal and apply those truths, reflecting on each step of your journey. It’s a thrilling spiritual journey and we think you will love it!

Flagship

Flagship is a life-changing 9-week journey and is Ellel Grange’s most in-depth training course. Experience amazing Christian fellowship in the context of powerful personal growth through training in healing, discipleship, leadership and prayer.

This course is the perfect opportunity for those on the cross roads of life and ministry, looking for their next step in Christian training. Flagship is a unique opportunity to go into the deeper things of God, to discover more about yourself, your place in His Kingdom and to be equipped to live the life God has called you to.

Undivided 18-25’s Gap Year

At Ellel Grange we run Undivided, which is an amazing year-long opportunity for 18-25’s to set themselves apart for a year to serve others in Christian ministry, receive life-shaping biblical teaching and enjoy fun and fellowship with new friends from around the world! If you are passionate about Jesus, long to live for Him with an undivided heart and want to share His life-transforming love with others, this is for you.

The program is completely free and will be an unforgettable experience. For those that join, you will be part of an exciting spiritual adventure, growing your faith, nurturing your spiritual and practical gifting and will be actively expressing your Christian life in very real ways. Alongside group bible studies, prayer times and recreation, there will also be many opportunities to serve, including worship times, house duties, maintenance, cooking, administration and media. Here at Ellel Grange, the Undivided team will be given our popular Explore teaching, which will set strong Biblical foundations for your future.

Ellel really is a refuge where you come to be healed, restored and put back together as God intends.

About Your Stay


Visiting Ellel Grange is more than coming on a training course or receiving some help for an issue you may be struggling with – our daily prayer is that those who come to Ellel Grange receive an experience of God’s love and goodness. That you receive a personal, fresh hope and vision of your future, to be equipped in your life calling and discipleship walk. The team here are passionate to see the heart of God expressed through all we do, and our hope is that this is evident in your time with us – whether you are being served a meal, being prayed for, enjoying a walk in our beautiful grounds, worshipping, or just having a one-to-one chat with someone. Our goal is to set you on the path towards being fruitful for God’s Kingdom – to help restore families, heal the sick, repair relationships, mend a broken spirit of despair, end cycles of self-cursing and bring freedom out of the bondage of darkness! To help build one another up as part of the Body of Christ.

Deputy Directors, Ellel Grange

John and Sue met at London Bible College after John left a banking career and Sue returned from the mission field in Romania. They have subsequently worked in a number of churches and other Christian contexts, including a number of Bible Colleges and establishing and leading a Missional Community in the Lake District. Most recently, after 8 years leading the Garstang Free Methodist church, the couple heard God’s clear call to join the team at Ellel Grange.
