Community Garden Project

Garden Gang Elim Oasis is a church with a big heart for our community. Our Community Gardening Group - known as the Garden Gang - includes our neighbours.

We have an ambitious project: transforming our barren grounds into an oasis for all. For example, a memorial meadow: not in memory of those who have died, but to think of those who have mental illness. A pegola and seating areas for calm reflection. There will also be a sensory area with plants. Disabled access. And more besides. We have already started steps with neighbours volunteering precious time to weed, plant, and water plants. One cheerful volunteer donated time and materials to make wooden planters, which we matched with funds for plants.

LCF2024 Social Post 400x400In 2025, we are taking a leap of faith in partnership with the community and have already had our first success! The Co-op has accepted us as part of its 2024/25 Local Community Fund. We have secured a £1000 grant and now require Co-op Members to support us. The good news is, if you are not a member and want to give us your support, it only costs £1 to join. Every "yes" means our grant will be increased. Please do so by visiting our page on the Co-op website.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

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 10:30 am. We serve tea, coffee and biscuits from 10 am, before the service begins. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access through the main (side) door, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. Note we regret our toilets are not wheelchair friendly, however, we can assist to ensure safe access and use.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10:30 am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of sung worship; typically have three or four songs lasting approximately 25 minutes. 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. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We may finish with a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

Getting Connected


Oasis Life and Prayer

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 Elim Oasis Life and Prayer allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. Seth leads this ministry, so We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small 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 also run the following ministries:

  • Men's Ministries
  • Women's Ministries
