ECC:Rotherham is an Elim Pentecostal Church in the centre of Rotherham. Our weekly Sunday services are at 10:30am and includes lively praise & worship, communion, and a bible message. There is also opportunity to receive prayer and often includes a time of ministry. There is a full children's and youth programme (for ages between 18 months and 16 years) which runs during the morning message. 

We have a weekly community cafe, prayer meeting, men's bible study, street outreach and kids/youth clubs. We also run bi-weekly Connect Groups at various times and locations, and have a monthly women's bible study and online prayer meeting. Throughout the year other special events take place for fellowship, ministry and teaching. We consider ourselves very much a family church, and endeavour to cater for the whole family, young and old.

ECC Mission, VISION & values

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. (Acts 2:42-47)
