Business and Buildings
Making room for the harvest
Ultimately, the purpose of business and buildings in a church environment is to expand the Kingdom of God. This is achieved by achieving financial sustainability in all our operations, building businesses to connect with our community and providing venues to host all our activities. Making room, financially, socially and physically, for the harvest!
To the best of our abilities, we want to reach lost people and help them become dedicated followers of Jesus Christ. We are committed to the Great Commission! This means we have to keep growing, diversifying and changing to remain both effective and relevant. The building and business developments are exactly for this purpose - facilities to “facilitate” what God wants to do among and through us.
Through the incredibly generous giving of our church and the sound business sense of our leadership over the years, Elim is blessed with significant real-estate in a prominent location. We own two buildings – the main church building, which you may be familiar with, and Studio 6, right next to the church building. These buildings host a variety of activities and businesses including Elim Services, Sing and Jive, Pulse and Raise Youth, Elim International Kids Early Childhood Centre, Vertical Studios, Studio 6 Art Studio, and many more which can be viewed on this website. If you would like to hire our facilities for an event, please contact Andrew Pratley or Elim office for details.
Apart from numerous ministries, social initiatives and cultural groups, Elim has birthed three main businesses that operate to connect with the community around us:
All our decisions regarding future development require concerted prayer and consultation.
Possibilities of future development include the expansion of Elim International Kids [click here], the office tower block [click here], the new auditorium [click here] and renovation of the brick building [click here].
We anticipate continuing to grow the church through ongoing evangelism, expanding existing services and ministries and adding new ones. We are always open to your creative input in this area. We also trust you will experience personal growth and satisfaction as we step up together into the next phase of our life together.
If you have any questions or ideas about the businesses or buildings, or would like to support in some way, please do not hesitate to contact Andrew Pratley at the church office.
