Church Pastors

We have three brilliant pastors who oversee the pastoral care of our diverse church. 

Steve    
Pastor Steve Jonathan    
Steve and Julie are both originally from South Wales. They have three grown up children, David, Siân (married to Dan) and Andrew and two wonderful grandkids. Steve worked in local government until 1984 when he entered full-time Christian ministry, first training at Elim Bible College and then serving in a large city centre church in Cardiff before starting a church on a new housing estate on the outskirts of the city. Steve and Julie moved to Tamworth in 1992. Julie serves in a number of church ministries, especially focused on children and music, and occasionally works as a primary supply teacher. Steve also holds a doctorate in theology with the University of Wales, Bangor, and enjoys playing squash in his spare time. Both Steve and Julie have a passion for rugby and adore it when Wales beat the old enemy!

Some key information about the church...

Where and when does the Church meet?
We have two services each week, on a Wednesday and a Sunday at 10.30am. We suggest you aim to arrive at least 10 minutes early to get a parking spot and seat in time for the service to start. 


We meet at:

Tamworth Elim Church
Bamford Street,
Glascote,
Tamworth,
Staffs
B77 2AT


You can see a map on our contact us page

There is limited parking available on the site (two small car parks on Bamford Street; one slightly larger car park on Neville Street). Many people park on Abbey Road a short walk away as Bamford Street can be very congested. 

What should I expect when I visit the Church on a Sunday Morning?

 

Our Welcome Team will be pleased to meet you as you arrive and they will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. Families often arrive in time to catch up with each other before the service begins. At the start of the service, the church family celebrates the goodness and love of God through music. Our music is lively and contemporary and we are blessed with a talented all-age group of musicians. This time can also include prayers, Bible reading and church/community/family news and updates.

The children and youth remain in the main meeting for about 30 minutes before they leave to enjoy their own age-relevant teaching.  There is also a sound-proof crèche area for the very young, with views and sound links into the main church auditorium (this is available for parents to use throughout the service). 

Pastor Steve Jonathan teaches regularly on the biblical foundation for contemporary Christian living and we are also blessed with many gifted and able speakers that supplement our teaching ministry each week. 

Following the service, refreshments are available to all with time to catch up with the wider church family and ask any questions you may have. 

No offering is taken at our service, though an offerings box is situated on the back wall of our church for those wishing to give to the work and ministry of our church.

What happens for the kids and youth at church?


We have a range of fantastic programmes for the kids at the Church for ages 0–12. Children stay with their parents for the first part of the service as we celebrate together. An announcement will be made when the children can go to their age-appropriate groups and programmes. If this is your first visit you will need to go with your children to register them.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for your family under What's On.
 

Is there a dress code?


No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?


You are of course free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
