New Building Updates

This is an exciting time for Elim Church Northampton as we take the step of faith towards a new church premises. We have agreed the  sale price for our current Church building at Gladstone Road and the offer for the new building has been accepted. The Elim Management Board have approved the loan needed to cover the purchase price and we are now at the next stage of submitting planning application for change of use to a place of worship.

This new adventure will not only serve our Church and community but will be able to reach further in many ways with the good news of Jesus. This facility ticks so may boxes with it’s location and extensive parking of over 225 spaces on this 3.5 acre site. The building will easily meet the needs of the growing congregation with it’s 2 buildings which are in outstanding condition. The total floor space is 27,425 sq ft, which includes a lower ground floor with offices and a café. This campus will not only meet our current needs but also serve as a legacy for future generations.

We’d love you to join us on this exciting adventure!

There are three main areas that we believe we are called to do as a Church in this season;

Skills

We cannot complete this task on our own, but require the various skills and abilities that our faithful Church family have to fulfil this task. This is an opportunity to use your God given abilities and experience to serve the Church. This could be anything from cleaning to fundraising. Building experience such as plumbing, electrical, carpentry, decorating etc would be amazing! We would also love to hear from anyone who has creative skills. Using the button below, simply enter any professional skills you have and we will be in touch with you to discuss how you can be part of this amazing project.

Prayer

This cannot be achieved without God’s direction and provision. We need to gather as a community of believers to pray into particular aspects of the project;

-The sale of our Campus at Gladstone Road

-The planning application ‘change of use’ to a place of worship to be approved, for the new building,

-The financial provision to cover all we need for the first stage.

We’d love to see when you are praying and to cover as much time as possible on our Church prayer calendar. You can do this with a couple of clicks by pressing the button below;

Financial Giving

Through the sale of our Gladstone Road property, our savings and the tithes and offerings of our faithful Church family, we are in a position to take out the extra finance needed that will seal the purchase of this new building. 

This should get us through the door, but we need to raise around £150,000 above our regular tithes and offerings to cover all the professional fees and to make excellent the faculty for Sunday and midweek gatherings. This will be our first stage of giving. We have no doubt that our Church can make this first faith step of generosity as you give the best gift or gifts over the next months. Thank you in advance for your giving and generosity and may God bless you. Let us rise to the occasion as thousands of lives will be impacted for the glory of God. 

If you are unable to give currently, but feel comfortable to do so post September, there is an opportunity to 'pledge' your giving and also give over time.
