About Elim UK......
The Elim
Pentecostal Church was founded in 1915 by a Welshman in Monaghan
Ireland. George Jeffreys was an outstanding evangelist and church
planter. He had a Welsh Congregational background, was strongly
influenced by the Welsh Revival of 1904, and was introduced to
Pentecost by an Anglican vicar, Rev Alexander Boddy of Sunderland.
The name 'Elim' was taken from the book of Exodus where the Israelites
exhausted and dispirited en route from Egypt's cruel bondage to the
freedom of Canaan came to Elim an oasis in the desert where there were
twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees. Exodus 15.27.

| As the Movement grew
with amazing rapidity against the background of dramatic decline in
the historic churches, it proved to be a fitting symbol of spiritual
refreshing.
Between 1915 and 1934, George
Jeffreys conducted some tremendous evangelistic missions. This unknown
preacher would commence a mission with a mere handful of people, and
by the end of the week, thousands would clamour for a seat. Amazing
miracles of healing had taken place. After the mission, very large
churches were established. |

| Elim
continued to grow despite the ravages of World War two and other
difficulties and soon established itself as a Pentecostal power in the
evangelisation of the United Kingdom. Today, there are over 500
churches in the home land, and nearly 9000 world-wide.
Ministers are trained at its official
residential college in Nantwich- Regents Theological College,
accredited by Manchester University for the B.A. and M.A. degrees. Its
global thrust is spearheaded by the International Missions Board,
which operates in 35 countries, with orphanages, hospitals and schools
as well as churches.
It has a vibrant Home Missions policy
and is committed to the evangelisation of the UK and the planting of
new churches.
The winning of young people to Jesus
is an important part of Elim's mission, and this is directed by its
Christian Youth Ministries directed by the 'Serious4God Team'.
Elim's largest church is
Kensington Temple,
which has a network of churches in London and is led by Colin
Dye. |
