International Sunday

Join us this International Sunday as we celebrate our diversity!

Our Elim family is made up of many different cultures and ethnicities, and we are proud of that. We love to embrace our diversity, celebrate our unity and cultivate inclusion.

No matter where you are from, what rugby team you support, or where you think pavlova originates from, you are welcome here and have a place to call home.

So join us for International Sunday at your local campus during our usual service times on Sunday, the 15th of November, 2026

Come dressed in your country’s best!

Food Festivals:

Come travel the world with your taste buds at our International Food Festival! 

Our church has a growing smorgasbord of people and cultures, which we want to represent at our International Food Festival. There will be many food stalls representing our church’s multiple cultures, selling tasty traditional meals.   

All are welcome, so bring your kids, neighbours and friends for some incredible kai. 

All proceeds will go towards our Christmas Box initiative, which provides boxes packed with groceries to families who need extra love and support during the Christmas season.
