DEACON BOARD
ELIM Christian Fellowship
was established on November 7, 1999 under the inspiration of God to the
visionary and Senior Pastor T. Anthony Bronner. ELIM Christian Fellowship, Inc. is a
non-denominational, multi-cultural, bible-based ministry engaged in Spirit-filled
worship that touches the heart of God, preaches and teaches with integrity the
word of God, and equips the saints to do the work of Jesus Christ to evangelize
the world.
The name ELIM
conceptually means a place of refreshing, reviving, and renewing for weary
travelers. ELIM has proven to be a fitting symbol of spiritual revitalization and
restoration.
On the first day of
worship at the Buffalo Christian Center over seven hundred people committed
their head, heart and hand to God's vision for ELIM Christian Fellowship. Many of those who joined were regular
attendees of the Regional Morning Prayer, which assembled every morning from
5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. ELIM Christian Fellowship was birthed out of this Regional
Morning Prayer Movement which has continued uninterrupted for the past ten
years.
ELIM soon outgrew the
facilities at the Buffalo Christian Center and relocated to Turner Carroll High
School on February 7, 2000.
After only six months in
existence, ELIM's membership doubled.
The current active membership is in excess of sixteen hundred members
and progressively growing. Recent
numbers indicate that on average approximately fifty persons per month choose
to make ELIM Christian Fellowship their spiritual home. Thus, this steady stream of new members would
suggest that ELIM has great potential for new growth and longevity.
