Here at Burton Elim we believe God is on the move! He is building His church, and we are excited to be part of all that He is doing. As we experience His power at work, we know that the gospel is still the hope for our nation, and that he has equipped his church with power to be His witnesses.

Believing that the best is still to come, as God pours new wine into His church we are drawing inspiration from the parable of the growing seed in Mark 4:26-29 and have embarked on a new adventure intentionally investing to create new wineskins ready to hold that new wine. This adventure and investment is seeking God's will in the following areas:

Moor St Consultation

At our AGM on Sunday 19th January 2025, we gave an update on the progress so far and the next steps. We are currently preparing a Heritage Statement and Listed Building Applications for submission to the local authority. This will begin a process of discussion with Staffordshire County Council’s planning and conservation team about what we are allowed to do with the Moor St building, and what specifications will be required. We anticipate that these discussions could take a large part of this year to complete.

This will allow us to identify what we are allowed to do by way of repairs and maintenance but also redevelopment. At the AGM we shared with the church the concept of developing our “Gentiles Court”. The largest part of the Jewish temple was the space around the worship area where people could meet to be discipled, and to explore faith in God. As we look to the future, this is where we need your help to decide what we need as a church to carry out our mission and ministry in Burton. We have a good space to worship that can currently seat up to 250 people, but the spaces around this begin to restrict how we can provide the other things we are doing and might want to do in the future.

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.
