Welcome to Elmvale Community Church. We are a community of believers in Jesus Christ committed to Loving God and Loving Others. We follow in the Way of Jesus and dedicate ourselves to: Being with Jesus. Becoming like Jesus. Doing what Jesus did.
- We are finding wholeness in sharing community with neighbours marked by generosity and self-sacrifice.
- We are finding freedom submitting our lives to the leading of the Spirit to do bold and audacious things for God.
- We are finding peace in doing the right things, not the popular things.
- We are finding significance and joy in living love and restoring people, marriages, families, our community, and the world around us back to God.
Checkout our latest teaching below:
Jesus welcomes children and those who are child-like to demonstrate what the Kingdom of God is like…Kids have nothing to offer - they are dependent and need to position themselves in a place of trust and receiving.
The wrestling match is a picture of Jacob’s life – he had used human ingenuity, strength, and scheming to secure blessing for himself. But now that Jacob is facing the Promised Land and the uncertainty of what’s going to happen with Esau, God wants Jacob to learn a new lesson in trust. So, God injures his chosen one – he permanently disables him – so now Jacob can’t fight, can’t run… he is at the will of what happens next.
