Prayer Meetings
Prayer 

As a church, we believe that prayer is vital to the life of a believer, a follower of Jesus.  Any relationship where there isn't good communication is not a healthy one, and so taking time to speak regularly with our heavenly Father, and listen to Him, is as important  as any human relationship.

Prayer at Burton Elm Church takes a number of different forms:

  • Personal Prayer - every follower of Jesus should have a healthy personal prayer life, and as a church we will encourage and help you to develop this;
  • Connect Groups - our Connect Groups are where we gather together as a church family through the week, and as part of this we take time to pray together for each other and support each other with life;
  • Wednesday Mornings - there is an opportunity to gather together at 9:30am at Moor Street for an hour to pray together
  • Saturday Mornings - there is an opportunity to gather together at 8:00am at Moor Street for an hour to pray together
  • Prayer Ministry - when we gather on Sundays, there is always an opportunity to be prayed for. Sometimes we invite people to respond for prayer, but feel free to approach one of our leaders and request prayer.
  • Pastoral Prayer Ministry- our pastor is available to visit, meet and pray with you if there are specific, or more in depth needs.
  • Week of Prayer - click here for more information
As we pray for people, we encourage the use of the Gifts of the Spirit, and are happy to offer the opportunity for anointing with oil if appropriate.

Key information about the church...

   

Where & when does the church meet?

We are "One Church in Two Locations" and  meet every Sunday at 10:30am at both of our buildings.

Moor StPrincess Street

Moor Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 3SU and Princess Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 2NR

We have limited parking at Moor Street and sadly there is no dedicated parking at Princess Street, you will need to find street parking nearby, but there is usually parking not too far away and we would encourage you to plan to arrive in time to find a space.

More details can be found on our locations page

 

What should I expect when I visit?

You will receive a very warm welcome at both of our locations, and our Welcome Teams will be happy help and answer your questions.  

Each week our services
have a time of sung worship, communion and a Bible based message relevant to today.  We encourage our congrgeation to participate and so there is usually opportunity to pray, be prayed for, and share words of encouragement.

Refreshments
Tea, coffee and biscuits are served before the morning service at Princess Street and after the service at Moor Street. Both venues offer plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

   

What happens to the kids at church?

Children stay with their parents at the start of the service in both congregations so we can worship together, before going out to their own age related activities.  We do ask that for safeguarding reasons, children are pre-registered when you arrive.

Moor Street

KidsChurch Colour NoBackground

We have a fantastic Sunday based Church for Kids programme that runs in our community centre building (The Corner) across the road from the main building.  We ask parents to accompany their children across the road, and also to pick them up once the service has finished.  Every Sunday we offer:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years) in our small family room at the rear of the main church building
  • Little Stars (3-5 years - Pre-School age)
  • Shooting Stars (5-7 years - Infant School age)
  • Comets (8-11 years - Junior School age)
     

Princess Street

Our children's work runs in a room behind the main worship area in the same building as the main congregation, and every Sunday we offer a single 5-11 year olds group

Is there anything for Youth?

Asset 1

Our Youth Work, Limitless, runs at our Moor Street congregation, and is for 11-16's.  As with Kids Church the youth join with the main congregation to begin with before leaving part way through the service to their own age related activity.

Their programme varies week to week; usually they meet in the room behind the platform in the main building, apart from on the second Sundays when they join with the Church for Kids in The Corner building, and on fourth Sundays they saty in the main congregation adn are encouraged to get involved.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
