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:

Some of us have spent years believing faith means having certainty or a perfect theology. We think if we still have questions, if we still wrestle, if we still feel fear, then we're failing at being a Christian. But Abraham and Sarah's story say otherwise. They laughed. They doubted. They tried to take matters into their own hands. They struggled to believe. And through all of it, God stayed faithful. • Because faith was never about Abraham's perfect confidence. • Faith was about God's perfect character - and it remains the same today. The good news this morning is that God is not asking you to manufacture certainty – to just believe hard enough. He is inviting you to trust Him. To relax into Him. To place the weight of your life into hands more capable than your own.
The beauty of this passage is that it’s a reminder that God hears us, God sees us, His heart is inclined towards rescue and blessing. And maybe that’s what some women here need to hear this morning. Whether today feels joyful, painful, complicated, or exhausting… Whether you feel appreciated or overlooked… Whether you are carrying grief, pressure, responsibility, or quiet loneliness… You are seen by God – and despite your perceived failures and inadequacies, He still renews His promise to you – He still chooses to bless you so that you can bless others.
