Visiting Us
We know it can be a little daunting going somewhere you have never been before, so here is some information about what you can expect on a usual Sunday at Swindon Elim Christian Centre.
What time do I arrive?
We have one service that starts at 10.30am though you are welcome to join us at 10.20 for a time of prayer before the service starts.
What will happen when I arrive?
You will be welcomed by a member of our team, and you are free to sit wherever you like. You will probably be greeted by a number of friendly people and if you feel that you want to make Elim Swindon your spiritual home then there are plenty of people you can talk to.
Who we are
We are part of the world wide Pentecostal Movement that traditionally emphasises the Foursquare Gospel. This is a commitment to sound preaching and teaching that proclaims Jesus Christ as “Lord & Saviour, Healer, Baptiser in the Holy Spirit and the Coming King”.
What about the service?
The service lasts for approximately 2 hours. During the service there will be a time of singing, as part of our worship to God. We sing a mixture of traditional hymns and contemporary songs. We place a strong emphasis on teaching. The sermons are always Bible based and we seek to give application of the Bible to enable us to live more like the people God wants us to be.
Tea and coffee are served after the service (sometimes in the middle), so if you want to chat to a few people this is an ideal opportunity.
