As a church we support Elim International Missions and also many other missionary & charitable organisations. We aim to give of our time, our resources and also our prayers, to seeing God move across this earth, in every nation.

To learn more about our missions department and also see our current missions focus/project, please take a look at our missions board, situated at the back of the main church area.

During 2009 our Missions Project was to raise awareness of Elim's work in Nepal, and to raise funds to purchase a trail-bike for our missionaries out there. It aided their ongoing ministry and outreach, across a land that is often rocky and difficult to travel.

Our Elim missionaries out there are Steve & Helen Kempton, alongside Bhab Ghale and also Judith Gale, four very different people united by a heart for God and a heart for the people that they have been sent to serve and a willingness to embrace personal sacrifice for the goals that they are endeavouring to acheive.

For the latest news from Nepal, latest fund raising ventures / dates, and to read more about Elim's work out there, please see our Church Missions Board.

In 2008 Elim Harrogate focused on supporting Elim's work in Malawi. Elim Malawi's work includes leadership training and community development. There are 300 Elim churches there, mostly based in villages and at least six regional centres where schools and orphan work are run by church members.

Our target for the year was in particular to encourage and support our Elim church in Masenjele, Malawi. A small group of believers who had been praying for a building of their own since 2002.

We have conducted many fund raising schemes throughout this year to help towards our target, from a sponsored swim, to an African meal and even a Pastoral leg waxing!

We raised in excess of £5500, which has enabled us to build an Elim Church in Masenjele, provide them with toilet facilities and also set them up with a herd of 12 cows to provide longterm sustainment to their projects.
