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:
Dave Berdan shares the heart behind his ministry, 37 Frank, a Youth for Christ centre in Strathroy, Ontario. He defines the centre as a "third space" for youth aged 13-21—a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can belong, be themselves, and discover God's love without a forced agenda. Grounded in Romans 15:13 and 1 John 4, Dave emphasizes that while he and his team cannot solve every problem, they prioritize walking through the "mud" of life alongside these young people, showing them tangible love and offering hope where it often feels scarce.
John explores the biblical perspective on heaven, offering comfort and hope in the face of life’s struggles and recent losses. Grounded in 2 Corinthians 4-5, the message encourages believers to fix their eyes on the eternal glory that God is building through our present, temporary trials. John emphasizes that our hope is rooted in the character of Jesus, the compassionate physician who redeems our lives not just by changing our legal status, but by preparing us for an eternal, bodily existence in His presence. By seeking the Kingdom of God first, we can anchor our hearts in heavenly treasure and find the endurance needed to persevere through any challenge.
