 Pastors Andy and Andrea Freeman.
Our aim at Elland Christian Centre is to be in relationship with Jesus - a relationship which is relevant to every aspect of our lives, giving us purpose and meaning.
God has made each one of us and we are very special to Him. He loves us and has a wonderful plan for our lives. Our desire is to share this amazing relationship with those around us, and by doing so fulfil God's purpose for our lives individually and as a fellowship.
As a church we are privileged to be in close relationship with other pastors through MFE (Ministers Fellowship Europe) and with Huddersfield Christian Fellowship (HCF).
The Church is located on Catherine Street, see the "Directions" link on the left or click HERE for a map and directions if required.
For Contact details, including the Church's full postal address, phone number and email address, see the "Contact Details" link on the left or click HERE
We look forward to giving you a warm welcome at one of our services or events.
| ...Because People Matter |
Did you know that you are special to God? He made you, loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. The problem for all of us is that our wrong-doing means that we can't have a relationship with a perfect God. And we can see the sad results of this in our own lives and in the world around us.
The good news is that God loved the world (that's you and me) so much that He made a way for us to be in relationship with Him through His only son (Jesus) who came to die to take the punishment for our wrong-doing. You see, we can't deal with the issue of our sin on our own - it is only through the perfect life, death and coming back to life of Jesus, God's son, that we can leave our sin with Jesus and have the life that God planned for us, but we have to be willing to ask him to come and be part of our lives.
God says that He knows what He has planned for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. The only thing is, we need to be willing to involve God in our lives. Life with God is exciting. It gives hope. It gives purpose. It gives peace, all the things that the world so desperately needs.
As a church we believe that God wants us to bring His good news to a hurting world - that people matter so much to God that He made a way for us. As a fellowship we keep this central to how we behave, the attitudes we have and the relationships we have. Our relationship with God, through Jesus His Son, and with the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us is central to us reaching out to each other and others. The outworking of these relationships are central to our approach to praise and worship, prayer and learning.
This motivation and the testimony of the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives is central to our Church programme which is based on three simple guiding principles:
• Our Relationship with God
• Our Relationship with each other
• Reaching out into the community
This has led us to have a busy and varied programme which has included picnics, barbeques, teaching / learning, baptismal services, dedications, our specific group ministries (Sage, The Edge and the Men and Women's outreaches), and our outreach programme, including Sunday Specials, concerts, and street prayer / outreach. We believe that life is a gift and that our lives in Christ are to be enjoyed and appreciated. Please check our programme and come and join us!
