Building Project Update

Building for the future 2
We have now submitted the Heritage Statement & Listed Building Applications to the council for approval.  We will be moving forward during March to prepare some initial “sketch” proposals for the new development work we want to do.  At this stage these will be a very simple concept that will be submitted to the council as a “pre-application” for discussion and negotiation to help us agree what we are allowed to do with the building.
 
To help us do this, we would like to hear your thoughts and ideas about what facilities we need for future ministry – what do we need for discipleship?  Youth? Children? Seniors?  Community Engagement? Pastoral Care?  Your ideas are important to us and will help us to prepare a list of requirements for our building consultant to use when drawing up concept plans, and so if you have not yet completed our consultation questionnaire please can we encourage you to do so over the next few days?  Hard copies are available upon request for anyone unable to complete the online version.  To access the questionnaire, please click here.
 


Burton Elim Bible Week July 21st-24th

Elim What We Beleive - Web Ban
I am currently considering running a more in-depth Bible-Study / mini-Bible Week in the summer, and would be interested in gauging interest in this.  Running 7-9pm on Monday 21st, Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th July, this would look in depth at what the Bible teaches on a particular subject.  I am currently considering preparing a series spread over 3 evenings looking at The Coming King, and what the Bible has to say about the Second Coming of Jesus.  If this is something that would be of interest to you, please can you let me know so that I can gauge whether or not it is something worth running?

Close Encounters: Current Sunday Morning Teaching Series

1. Close Encounters   Title Sl

In Jesus’ ministry as recorded in Mark we see that He encountered a wide variety of people from many different walks of life, in many different situations. We also see that He responded in different ways to different people, and whilst the truth of the gospel message doesn’t change, the vehicle in which it is delivered needs to be relevant to the culture, and the person, to whom we are sharing it.  What can we learn from the life of Jesus and his encounters with people?  What did He say?  How did He say it?  How did He make the person feel? And what was their response?

We are called to reach the lost, to Go and make Disciples, and to be witnesses to Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.  But in today’s world, how do we do that? It has been said that we fish in a messy pool, and that the fish don’t come ready filleted, but how do we preach the truth but offer grace?

As we seek to be a church of disciples who make disciples, how can we grow personally and reach others with the message of the cross?  And is our church culture one that welcomes people into a safe place where they can hear, and respond, to the invitation to repent and follow Jesus?

Week 1: Mark 1:40-44: Breaking the power of the past 
Week 2:  Mark 2:1-12: Chasing the miracle maker
Week 3:  Mark 5:1-17: Overcoming the darkness
Week 4: Mark 5: 21-24, 35-43:  At what cost?
Week 5:  Mark 5: 25-34: Restoring identity
Week 6:  Mark 7:1-23: Pride & prejudice
Week 7:  Mark 10:13-16:  Rediscovering our inner child
Week 8:  Mark 10:17-30:  Keeping up appearances 
Week 9:  Mark 10:46-52:  What do you see?
Week 10:  Mark 14:3-9: What’s that smell?

Limitless Connect Group

We have been really encouraged to see more youth coming to church recently, and to help support them to grow in their faith we are investing in a new Friday night youth group – Limitless Connect.  Meeting on the 4th Fridays of the month at 6:30pm at Moor St, this will be a mix of fun, games and social connection as well as time for discipleship, and is open to anyone at High School.  We really hope that this will create a place and time for our youth from both congregations to get together and have fun whilst supporting each other to grow as followers of Jesus, and for more information please speak to Matt Rimmer or contact the church office on office@burtonelim.com / 01283 205323

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.

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.
