It is commonly recognised that the fastest growing segment in the Christian Church are the pentecostals / charismatics. From their humble beginnings in the last hndred years or so they are found in probably every country in the world.
There are many christians who are not aware of the significance of this group, and therefore this section has been included to be informative as well as a point of intrest of the workings of the Holy Spirit throughout church history.
The Clapham Elim Church has played a significant part in the UK Pentecostal scene. It was the second church started on the mainland in 1922 by George Jeffreys, and for many years was the central church of the Elim Pentecostal movement..
Verified miracles and healings were the norm in this fledgling movement which rapidly grew, and from Clapham many churches were established in the UK and further afield.
The Bible College and the HQ of the Elim movement was situated here until it was complusory purchased by the then Wandsworth Borough Council in the 60's.
Pictures, detailed articles and an overall acount of the ministry of the Holy Spirit throughout Church history is found later on.
We trust this will not only be an encouragement to you but also a point of information and clarification. |
