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.

wilderness both figuratively and literally…
