Vision & Core Values

"Transformed Lives, Transforming Culture"

Alexandra Elim Church is a family-centred Pentecostal church based in the beautiful Central Otago. We are part of Elim New Zealand, which has over 40 churches throughout the country, and many more throughout the world.

We believe that Sunday services are about meeting together with fellow believers to celebrate Jesus, and discipleship happens throughout the week in Small Groups.

We want to see lives transformed by the reality of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. We then carry this personal transformation to influence the world around us.

Our Core Values:

Worship

Loving God as a lifestyle

Encounter

Valuing His presence

Family

Loving & investing

in one another

Influence

Making a difference

in our world

What can I expect at a Sunday service?

Our Sunday service typically runs from 10am - 11.30am, followed by tea and coffee.
We begin each service by joining in worship song, and celebrate together by sharing any testimonies, prayers answered or milestones from throughout the week. This is followed by a sermon.

We run 2 engaging Elim Kids programmes during the sermon, and have a Mother's Room open if you would like some privacy. Children are also welcome to stay for the sermon if you or they would prefer.
