About Us
Elim Oasis Church is a family of folks from all walks of life, and we love to see new people. We hope that you will feel right at home. Our Sunday mornings begin with a warm welcome and an invitation to celebrate the good news about Jesus. Our worship is dynamic and lively contemporary songs as we seek to lift His name together. We expect God to meet with us and speak to us.
Nationally, the church of Elim was founded in 1915 by a Welshman in Monaghan, Ireland: George Jeffreys. He was an outstanding evangelist and church planter. He had a Welsh Congregational background, was strongly influenced by the Welsh Revival of 1904, and was introduced to Pentecost by an Anglican vicar. The movement grew rapidly in the first half of the twentieth century against a dramatic decline in other church congregations.
Locally, the village of St Peter's has a rich history of churches that have lived for and served Jesus for many centuries. Elim took the opportunity to acquire the Methodist chapel in Ranelagh Grove in the 1970s. Over fifty years later, Elim Oasis is very active in our local community, working alongside other churches and running our own projects as an expression of the love of God in a practical way.
