Pierrepont was bought by Ellel Ministries in 1995 with a vision to welcome people from all over the world to be healed, trained and equipped for serving the many branches of Christian ministry. Ellel Pierrepont was the home to NETS, a totally unique 12-month residential programme – it stands for Never Ever the Same!
Many Christians that have come through our doors have found that their greatest growth as disciples of Jesus came during the time they were on the NETS course here at Ellel Pierrepont. The hundreds that have attended NETS can testify to the life-transforming experience of spending from three to twelve months at Pierrepont. We are thrilled to extend the same opportunity to you, whether it’s for a free one-day course we run, or the full 12-months experience. Our prayer is God will meet you on your journey of faith.
Ellel Pierrepont is a beautiful 35-acre estate in the heart of the Surrey countryside that has been set apart by God to be a place of healing and discipleship for His people. It provides the perfect atmosphere for you to get away from the ‘busy-ness’ of life, and to meet with God as you enjoy His creation. We have an amazing team of people based here, from young to old, creating a friendly community atmosphere. It’s a privilege to be able to welcome you here!
Pierrepont estate has a long history, with various uses since its establishment in 1198. The current house, built in 1876 as a family house, became a boarding school which closed in 1992 because of financial difficulties. Pierrepont was then purchased by Ellel Ministries after God gave Peter Horrobin the vision for a ‘teaching hospital’ – a place where people could come for up to a year, to learn more about the Lord’s heart to heal, and to be trained by those who are already trained. This residential programme of teaching, discipleship, healing and equipping is known as NETS. More than 1500 people from over 77 different nations have now completed NETS.
When it was originally purchased by Ellel in 1995, the bankrupt school was empty, but a word was given to the ministry: ‘The Lord says: I have stripped this place bare, as a tree is stripped of its leaves in winter. . . and I will clothe it again with every knife, fork and spoon….’. Praise God, we continue to see amazing miracles of provision and lives transformed!
Every year, thousands of Christians attend our events and many testify to having been significantly impacted by the teaching and ministry in a real, life changing way. Pierrepont is the home of Ellel’s long-term international ministry training programme known as NETS, meaning Never Ever the Same!. As well as hosting NETS, we run a wide variety of exciting free events, weekend courses, Healing Retreats, Explore and the very popular 9-day course called MicroNETS. If you are seeking more in your Christian walk, welcome!
