Consent for Healing Prayer & Liability release form:
**IN ORDER TO SCHEDULE A PRAYER SESSION YOU MUST READ AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
Purpose & Disclaimers:
The purpose of this ministry is for spiritual growth and healing. It is not a psychological counseling service, nor is it intended to be. New Hope Healing Team members are not licensed psychologists or psychiatrists; however, they are trained in using the Word of God and prayer through the power of the Holy Spirit. The lasting results of this approach are also contingent on the willingness of the individual to subsequently steward their spiritual breakthroughs by aligning their future choices and behaviors with the standards outlined in the Word of God consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the continued ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Confidentiality:
I understand that when/if I disclose personal information relevant to my scheduled healing ministry session, the New Hope Healing ministry team is committed to respect my privacy, and to honor confidentiality. The New Hope Healing team leadership reserves the right to share relevant information only with New Hope Church trusted Senior leaders, if it becomes necessary to gain additional insight, counsel, resources and wisdom that would impact my continued healing journey. By signing this waiver I am acknowledging and agreeing to that process. In the case that confidential information is discussed outside of the actual healing ministry session, I will be notified with any additional necessary information.
In addition, New Hope Church is required by law to report to appropriate authorities:
1. Any intent of a person to take harmful, dangerous, or criminal action against another person or against himself/herself.
2. Any act of child or elder abuse or neglect.
Technology Use:
New Hope Church healing teams may leverage technology including, but not limited to, Zoom and other video conferencing platforms. New Hope Church, nor its team members, are either responsible nor liable for the use of this technology or any issues related to the privacy and security of such technology. None of the participants will record any session unless all participants agree to the same.
Release of Liability Statements:
I understand the above information concerning this ministry. I have sought this ministry of my own free will. I understand that this ministry uses the services of volunteer prayer ministers who have been trained at New Hope Church. These volunteer team members are, to the best of their ability, doing what they can to help me achieve more freedom in my life.
