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 12th of November, 2023.

Come dressed in your country’s best!

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.
