Wellbeing - Open Day

Wellbeing Open Day

First hosted by Burton Elim Church two-years ago, this event is another opportunity for professionals, statutory & voluntary services to come together to network and celebrate the impact of our volunteers and their work improving the wellbeing of people from Burton Upon Trent.

Buffet Style Lunch: There will be a finger buffet lunch for you to enjoy whilst with us. Please let us know if you have any dietary needs, we would love to cater for you.

Two-years ago at our first wellbeing open day, Councillor Shelagh McKiernan attended in her capacity as mayor. We celebrated the impact of re-stART and launched our new Celebrate Recovery and Revive groups.  This year's event will feedback on progress since then, share the impact that is being made, and help create more access to support services available to the local community by strengthening and improving partnership working.

Our volunteers currently support people from across our town through using their lived experience to run community-based activities that support and improve people’s wellbeing through providing peer support activities for mental health, SEN, recovery and abuse.  We have 4 key groups we will be celebrating:

  1. Re-stART – our art-based peer support group for people struggling with their mental wellbeing (see re-stART)
  2. Celebrate Recovery – our 12-step peer support group for life’s “hurts, habits and hang-ups” (see Celebrate Recovery)
  3. Revive – our peer support group for parents and families of children with SEN needs (see Revive)
  4. In-Stitches – our intergenerational craft group supporting those struggling with social isolation (see In-Stitches)

Burton Elim Church has been part of the community for over 70-years, and over the last few years has been working in relationship with a number of statutory services offering different services to the community to help improve people’s wellbeing within the town through using the lived-experience of our volunteers.  We'd love you to help us get the word out about what is available to help improve the wellbeing of your staff, friends, family and communities across our town.

Planning your Visit

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 Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 3SU
  • 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.
