The name ‘Elim’ was taken from the book of Exodus where the Israelites exhausted and dispirited en route from Egypt’s cruel bondage to the freedom of Canaan came to Elim an oasis in the desert where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees. (Exodus 15:27)
The Elim Pentecostal Church (EPC) is a UK-based Pentecostal
Christian denomination.
History
George Jeffreys (1889–1962), a Welshman,
founded the Elim Pentecostal Church in Monaghan, Ireland in 1915.
Jeffreys was an evangelist with a Welsh Congregational church background. He was
converted at age 15 during the Welsh Revival of 1904. Alexander
A. Boddy, Vicar of All Saints, Monkwearmouth,
Sunderland invited him to preach at his
International Pentecostal Convention in

sinfulness of mankind; the work of the Holy Spirit
in conviction, repentance, regeneration and sanctification; the baptism of the Holy Spirit "with
signs following"; that salvation is received by faith alone
and evidenced by the fruits of the Spirit. The baptism of believers by immersion
and Communion are held to be ordinances.
Organisation
Elim has experienced steady growth and now numbers over
500 churches in the
The authority of governance of the church is rested in
the annual Conference. Guidance of the denomination is placed in the National
Leadership Team and the General Superintendent between sessions. John Glass has
served as General Superintendent since 2000. Elim headquarters is in Malvern,
alongside its
Though the local congregations are commonly and popularly
known as Elim Pentecostal Churches, the legal name of the denomination
is still Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance, which is based on the church's
stand for four fundamental truths - "Jesus Christ as the Saviour,
Healer, Baptiser in the Holy Spirit, and Coming King."
