New Sunday Series:  "To Be, or Not To Be?"


On Sunday 25th January, Pastor Chris will begin a 5-week Sunday series on the book of Philemon. 

One of the shortest, smallest and perhaps least read books of the Bible, it is a letter that contains an incredible picture of what it really means to be a follower of Jesus?  What does it mean to be a disciple, is it more than words?  Does it require us to practice what we preach? Does it require us to live what we say?  How do we do that when it hurts?  When it costs?  Paul’s letter to Philemon is rich in some of the core truths of being a true follower of Jesus, and is not a letter for cowards! 

So do you have the courage to come with us as we unpack it together? Is it your time To Be, or Not To Be?
 

Jan 25th: To be or not to be? 
Feb 1st: Amazing Grace (Grace)
Feb 8th: Don’t Look Back in Anger 
Feb 15th: Gone With the Wind 
Feb 22nd: You’ve Got a Friend In Me 

 

Grace Groups


Logo Slide
On Sunday nights through January & February 2026, we will be following up last term’s sermon series on People for Purpose by gathering together to explore the role of the apostolic grace at Burton Elim Church. However, I am aware that we may have some confusion, or questions for some about the role and nature of these fivefold ministries that it might be helpful to clarify!
  • Our groups are meant to be fun!  They are not meant to cause distress, pressure or worry, but rather help us to better understand the gifts God has given us.
  • The groups are designed to help us “disciple” the church – we are a body and everyone is valuable, important and needed if we are to fulfil the call of God that is on us.  The groups are intended to help us to help each other to bring the unique gifts God has given us into the life of the church, to share the load and grow in our walk with Jesus.
  • You don’t have to have done the APEST assessments to come!  And you can attend any of the groups you want to, they are not restricted to “just” the people whose APEST assessments said they are one grace or another!  But if you can only attend one, please come to the one that you most identify with.
  • The evenings will include a short recap on each grace – what it is, and set it within a “context” for operating at Burton Elim Church.   The evenings are then designed to be a discussion process, a consultation and exploration together of how these gifts, or graces, can be released to help us be a healthy, growing church, identifying what training or support we will need along the way.
So, our grace groups are for everyone – every part of the church family has a voice and your voice is important to help us shape the future direction, look and feel of the ministry of Burton Elim Church, and this includes the youth, families, teams and people of all ages if we are to develop together the next steps on our journey of faith. Will you join us on Sunday night to continue this conversation and journey together?

Key information about the church...

   

Where & when does the church meet?

We are "One Church in Two Locations" and  meet every Sunday at 10:30am at both of our buildings.

  • Moor Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 3SU
  • Princess Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 2NR

We have limited parking at Moor Street and sadly there is no dedicated parking at Princess Street, you will need to find street parking nearby, but there is usually parking not too far away and we would encourage you to plan to arrive in time to find a space.

More details can be found on our locations page

 

What should I expect when I visit?

You will receive a very warm welcome at both of our locations, and our Welcome Teams will be happy help and answer your questions.  

Each week our services
have a time of sung worship, communion and a Bible based message relevant to today.  We encourage our congrgeation to participate and so there is usually opportunity to pray, be prayed for, and share words of encouragement.

Refreshments
Tea, coffee and biscuits are served before the morning service at Princess Street and after the service at Moor Street. Both venues offer plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

   

What happens to the kids at church?

Children stay with their parents at the start of the service in both congregations so we can worship together, before going out to their own age related activities.  We do ask that for safeguarding reasons, children are pre-registered when you arrive.

Moor Street

KidsChurch Colour NoBackground

We have a fantastic Sunday based Church for Kids programme that runs in our community centre building (The Corner) across the road from the main building.  We ask parents to accompany their children across the road, and also to pick them up once the service has finished.  Every Sunday we offer:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years) in our small family room at the rear of the main church building
  • Little Stars (3-5 years - Pre-School age)
  • Shooting Stars (5-7 years - Infant School age)
  • Comets (8-11 years - Junior School age)
     

Princess Street

Our children's work runs in a room behind the main worship area in the same building as the main congregation, and every Sunday we offer a single 5-11 year olds group

Is there anything for Youth?

Asset 1

Our Youth Work, Limitless, runs at our Moor Street congregation, and is for 11-16's.  As with Kids Church the youth join with the main congregation to begin with before leaving part way through the service to their own age related activity.

Their programme varies week to week; usually they meet in the room behind the platform in the main building, apart from on the second Sundays when they join with the Church for Kids in The Corner building, and on fourth Sundays they saty in the main congregation adn are encouraged to get involved.

Is there a dress code?

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

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
