Elim is raising up a new generation of leaders

The Millennial Generation, also known as Generation Y, faces unprecedented challenges in a rapidly changing spiritual, moral and ethical landscape.

While many Millennials, typically aged 20-35, seem to be leaving churches, there is a rising tide of young people who are believing God for a fresh outpouring of his Spirit and grace for this generation.

We believe God is raising up young leaders to speak to this generation with courage and creativity, faith and fervour. With over 13.8 million people who make up Generation Y in the UK, this is an important demographic to reach with God's love and message of hope.

At this year's Elim Leaders Summit, we will be gathering over 150 young leaders to inspire, equip and envision those with a heart to make a difference in their generation. And we invite you to join them.

Sex, the Gospel and the Revolution: how can we tell a better story? - Glynn Harrison

The sex revolution, rooted in a powerful cultural narrative of authenticity and freedom, has brought about far-reaching changes in attitudes to sex, marriage and gender. In this challenging context, how can Christians who hold to biblical teaching begin to craft a narrative that wins hearts as well as minds?
