What we believe

We fully support the foundational truths of the Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance.

Our history

The Church was founded in 1968 and has continually maintained a presence in Yate. In 1993, Pastor Paul and Miriam James became Leaders of the fellowship and together with the Elders have seen significant spiritual and numerical growth. In 2015, after 22 years of service Pastor Paul and Miriam James were called to a new fellowship in London and new Pastors Marty and Rebeca Davison were appointed in September 2015, to start in April 2016.

Our future

As a result of the numerical growth we are seeing, we have built a purpose-built Church complex in Station Road, Yate. This facility includes youth suites, classrooms, a kitchen, and a worship area.
