What We Believe

We believe in living out our Christian faith as effectively as possible, having an impact on those who have not yet heard or experienced the great news about Jesus Christ.

We believe we should share the Good News about Jesus, equip people in their faith journey and see them live out their faith in the world.

The Bible is our manual for life and instructs us how we should live and how we can have a personal relationship with Jesus. We believe that God commands us to love our neighbour as ourselves.

We would like to get to know you and build strong relationships with the community in Fairfield.

At the church, we believe in…

ELIM’S FOUNDATIONAL TRUTHS explain our theology and are a statement of faith.

The Bible

We believe the Bible, as originally given, to be without error, the fully inspired and infallible Word of God and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

The Trinity

We believe that the Godhead exists co-equally and co-eternally in three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and that these three are one God, sovereign in creation, providence and redemption.

The Saviour

We believe in the true and proper deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His real and complete humanity, in His sinless life, in His authoritative teaching, in His substitutionary and atoning sacrifice through His blood shed, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His heavenly
intercession and His second advent to receive His Church.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the deity of the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son and the necessity of His work in conviction of sin, repentance, regeneration and sanctification, and that the believer is also promised an enduement of power as the gift of Christ through the baptism in the Holy Spirit with signs following. Through this enduement, the believer is empowered for fuller participation in the ministry of the Church, its worship, evangelism and service.

Humanity

We believe in the inherent dignity and value of every person, as created in God’s image and likeness, male and female, to be in fellowship with God and serve God’s purposes in creation. Yet on account of the universal sinfulness of all people due to the Fall, humanity is subject to God’s righteous wrath and condemnation.

Planning your Visit

Welcome

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit so that you know beforehand what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the church building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. When you arrive, you should be greeted by one of our friendly church members.

We serve free tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. It is a great way to meet people.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access. There are disabled toilets in the entrance foyer.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10:30am with a warm welcome from the Pastor followed by a short prayer. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our band. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God.

Our Pastor, or one of our leaders, will then give a sermon that is Bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. We then finish with a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

Getting Connected

Home Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our Home Groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have evening groups that meet during the week. Check out our Home Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a Home Group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. We have rotas to serve refreshments after the service, and church set-up.

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries:

Men's Ministries
Women's Ministries
Open House - community-style cafe
Focus on Israel
Foodbank
