The Elders of Dunedin City Elim are responsible for the spiritual oversight and direction of the Church.
They are chosen according to 1 Timothy 3:1-7 as people of standing in the church, respected and recognised as individuals of character, wisdom and faith.
 
Elim International Service is held every Sunday at 2pm in the main auditorium. This service is for everyone, where we are committed to reach people of all nations in this city for Christ.

If you are from overseas, come and find out for yourselves the life we enjoy together as a family. Indeed, it is a "home away from home experience."

 
This is a Kid's Church that is dedicated to keeping it real. Showing kids that God cares for them and that he loves them and wants to be with them. We have an amazing team that are dedicated to this generation and building long lasting friendships with our kids. Life is an adventure and that's what we have each and every Sunday.

EXPLORERS.
This is our kid's church that is for children aged Newborn to 4 years old. We have a great time worshipping, dancing, and exploring the people of the Bible. There are fun activities and great people who do an amazing job of caring for your child. We run a Buddy Program 6 weeks before the children turn 4years old. This helps them to know the team and the children in SUPERHEROES, our big kids program.

SUPERHEROES.
Children's church has never been like this! This is church for children from 4yrs to 10yrs old. Kids church is a place where everyone is involved, and where our kids lead the worship and prayer time. We have a fun and entertaining way of telling the adventures of our Bible Heroes, and we believe that our kids are SUPERHEROES sent by God to save the world.

Oxygen Students is the outreach-focussed dynamic student ministry at Elim Christian Centre.
We are a bunch of students who realise that a life lived to follow Jesus is the most radically fulfilling life one could have.
We believe in revolutionary thinking followed by radical action to change the world, rising up leaders who positively impact society.

The Pacific Network is made up of people from all over NZ and the world who come together to do Life and bring Life.
We are communal based and practice hospitality the way Pacific do it - deeply, loudly and tastefully! We come from different churches within this awesome city of Dunedin, 'cos it's about building, serving and encouraging His church, and we're based out from Elim. We range in stage and age and are committed to living right with Jesus and living right with each other. That's what I'm talking 'bout!

For more info contact our Pacific Pastor Rabena Kini on 027 6973657.


We want to encourage people to worship God in more dynamic, vibrant and contemporary ways, and provide opportunity for more creative and artistic expression.
Worship is a priority in our services, and music carrying the anointing of God releases the power of the Holy Spirit.


"Ki-Ora, my name is Shelly Johnson and I head up our Visual Arts Department here at church. Keep an eye out for our latest projects and art classes. Please contact me or the church office if you are into art and want to use your gift to serve His Kingdom."


We have put together a programme for all new Christians and people who want to lay a strong foundation for their Christianity.
Each session explains a different topic and moves along through all the basic principles of Christianity. All the material is clearly and understandably presented and focused on what scripture says. The Basix course is held in small groups or one to one discussion and questions are also encouraged.

For any information on the above course contact the church office (477 5533).


Our Local Mission is essential if the church is to grow. We believe that sharing the good News of Jesus Christ is not just for groups of evangelists on Friday nights, but is a biblical mandate for all believers. Jesus said:
"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witness in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth."
- Acts 1:8.
We focus on equipping everyone to reach the unchurched and bringing friends, family and others into the Kingdom. We are committed to the Great Commission.

Nations we as a church are currently involved with are:

- Papua New Guinea.
- Indonesia.
- Chile.

Our Involvement is both long term and short term, with teams going out each year.
