ABOUT NEW HEALING PLACE

A Place of Healing & Transformation

At New Healing Place, people encounter Jesus, find family, and discover purpose. We’re a church in Concord, NC shaped by God’s Word, prayer, and the Holy Spirit.

What began as a prayer in 2016 has become a growing community where every person is seen, known, and loved. In 2017 our pastors followed God’s leading to Concord to plant a church centered on Jesus and the healing He brings. Since then, we’ve watched lives change—marriages restored, hope renewed, and people stepping into their calling.

Whether you’re new to faith or returning to church, you’re welcome here. Come as you are. There’s a place for you at the table.

A native of Goldsboro, North Carolina, he began preaching at the age of fifteen and now carries over twenty years of ministry experience marked by spiritual authority, discernment, and servant leadership.

Pastor Sean carries a prophetic grace to accurately articulate the Word of God in a way that confronts spiritual strongholds, restores identity, and produces lasting transformation. His ministry is characterized by clarity, conviction, and compassion—helping believers move from survival into sonship, and from gifting into maturity.

With a strong apostolic burden, Pastor Sean is deeply committed to equipping the saints, establishing healthy spiritual foundations, and cultivating environments where authentic encounters with the Holy Spirit lead to genuine fruit. His heart is to see the Church healed, properly aligned, and functioning in unity, power, and purpose.

Having served extensively in worship ministry, intercession, and discipleship, Pastor Sean brings a unique sensitivity to spiritual atmospheres and a proven ability to steward both people and the presence of God with wisdom and integrity. He is especially passionate about raising leaders who minister from intimacy with God rather than performance, and who walk in obedience, character, and spiritual authority.

Pastor Sean holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Consumer Sciences with a concentration in Early Childhood Development from North Carolina Central University, as well as a Master’s degree in Christian Leadership from Liberty University. He also honorably served in the United States Navy from 2012 to 2017—experiences that further shaped his discipline, leadership capacity, and commitment to building with excellence and order.
