About Us

Here at Burton Elim Church we are "One Church in Two Locations" with congregations in Moor Street and Princess Street that meet at 10:30 on a Sunday morning. Both congregations are made up of people from all walks of life, all ages and different nations, and offer two different styles of service as we recognise that not everyone is the same; however we share the same heart in both locations to see people encountering and being transformed by Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.

If you are new to church or the area, please check out our New to Church page to get more information about what goes on on a Sunday.

What else happens at Burton Elim Church?

As well as our time together on a Sunday, we offer a range of different activities through the week for all ages. For example:

We have a network of "Connect Groups" that meet in people's homes on different days and times throughout the week where we get the opportunity to "do life together" in meaningful relationships.
For families inside and outside of the church, on the second Fridays of each month we run an evening of activities, food and games called: "The Hub."
For those struggling with loneliness, wellbeing or mental health, we offer an art based peer support group called "re-stART";
For our youth, on the fourth Fridays of the month we run a Limitless "Youth Connect" group; and
For our seniors, on the second and fourth Tuesdays we run "Tuesday Fellowship", a time of friendship, food and encouragment structured around a simple time of worship.

We are an Elim Church

Burton Elim Church is part of the worldwide Elim Pentecostal denomination, and for more than a century Elim has been one movement with many churches and is as committed as ever to move together in mission. With over a 100-year history, our desire is for every Elim leader and church to Advance into a new season of fresh mission, extending their influence, imapct and outreach, reaching beyond and serving the lcoal community.

Elim's beliefs can be summarised simply as being "foursquare" - we believe Jesus is saviour, healer, baptiser adn the coming King.

At the heart of Elim's purpose is thedesire that every church would practically show the good news of Jesus to their community through offering relief to anyone struggling with "disability, age, infirmity, sickness, social or economic circumstances, or caring responsibilities."

What does Elim mean?

Elim is actually a place found in the Bible in Exodus 15 v 27. It was an Oasis that the people of Israel came to on their way out of Egypt. It was a place of wells and palm trees and represented real refreshment in the midst of the wilderness. It was also around this time that God promised to be their healer as well as their deliverer. This was an important doctrine to our founding fathers and continues to be so with us.

Incidentally Elim literally means "Palm Trees" so you will often see them in our literature. Our desire is to be an Oasis in a world that is increasingly difficult for many.

Elim believes that, as its members discover their destiny and are equipped to fulfil God's Kingdom priorities through spiritual maturity, numerical fruitfulness will ensue. This is achieved through sound teaching and discipleship programmes, small groups and the ongoing ministry of the Church.

There are many hundreds of Churches networked within Elim. They range from small groups recently launched to some of the largest congregations in Britain. Our emphasis however is not only on growing larger Churches but on building bigger people - people who have a heart to fulfill their God-given destiny and rise to the level of His plan and purpose for their life.

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 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.
