Elim Huddersfield is a Pentecostal Christian church in the town centre of Huddersfield, England. It is one of the largest of its denomination, Elim Pentecostal, in the North-East region of England with an average weekly attendance of 300-400.
History
[edit]The church was founded in 1931 after the Welsh missionary George Jefferys visited Huddersfield on an evangelistic crusade. By the 1960s, the congregation was meeting in the old Catholic Apostolic Church on South Street, which became their own building, having survived a redevelopment of the area which included the demolishing of surrounding terraced houses and the street address becoming Merton Street. In 2008, the church purchased the former building of Huddersfeld Christian Fellowship, on St John's Road. The church owned and ran activities at boths sites until 2024, when the Merton Street building (then known as the Oasis Youth and Community Centre) was sold. The attached, adjacent building on St John's road (the former Huddersfield Probation Service offices) was also purchased by the church in 2024, and is currently undergoing rennovations.
Activities
[edit]Sunday services
[edit]Services are conducted each Sunday morning at 10:30am. Services include items aimed at children, contemporary worship, a sermon, and communion.
Charitable work
[edit]Since 2005, Elim Huddersfield had played an active charitable role in the Kirklees network of asylum seeker and refugee support services.[1] through its "611 Asylum work[2]". It also runs a local hub for the children's charity Zarach[3]
Students
[edit]The church has supported the University of Huddersfield Christion Union (a society of the Huddersfield Student Union associated with UCCF) for several decades.
