The church does not have a graveyard.Church History
It was founded in 1945.The Elim Church here was established following a Revival and Healing campaign conducted by Principal George Jeffreys in April and May 1931. This campaign, held in the Cambridge Hall, was followed by a 3-day convention in the Temperance Institute, London Street which the new Elim assembly continued to use for its weekly meetings. By the end of 1931 there were 450 regular worshippers.
The Temperance Institute continued to be their home for the next 14 years until, in July 1945, Elim bought the Evangel Temple, a former Methodist Church in Manchester Road. This fine building is still meeting the the congregation's needs today.
In 1984 the need for better facilities was acute and the members decided that the old church hall should be demolished to make way for a new building. This new extension, which the members constructed themselves, houses a sports hall, minor hall, offices and schoolrooms and was opened in December of the same year.
In 1998 the house next door to the church, which had been partly owned by the church for several years, was purchased outright and has been adapted and refurbished to form new offices and a new home for the Oasis Christian Counselling Centre.
