The Elim Pentecostal Church is a growing Movement of more than 550 Christian congregations

in the UK and Ireland, founded in 1915 by George Jeffreys.

Jeffreys and a group of friends, known as the Elim Evangelistic Band, preached, started churches and witnessed a move of God that was characterised by miraculous healings and an explosion in the number of people becoming Christians. In a world that can feel like a desert, our 21st-century churches seek to be a place of spiritual resource within their communities. The founders wanted the name of their new Movement to express their vision and values, and so chose ‘Elim’, the name of an oasis in the Bible that the people of Israel discovered as they wandered through the desert. It provided shade and refreshment to all who encountered it.

It is our belief that Elim has a significant part to play in the world today,

and we are confidently looking forward to what God will do in the future.
