Camborne

Over the past few years there has been remarkable growth and development within our churches in the Cornwall area.

Numbered among these is the Elim is the Elim Church in Camborne, pastored by David and Liz Smyth (pictured).

It is some years since I was at the church and it very evident that Dave and Liz, together with the leaders around them, have brought a new freshness and vitality to the church.

The previous minister had successfully inaugurated a number of ways in which the church could interface with the community  - expressing care and commitment to those within society who were the most vulnerable.  This has not only be continued but enhanced by Dave and Liz and the church building exists as a vibrant hub for a number of midweek activities.  Yet another example of how very evident pastoral gifts are not just confined to the local congregation but exist as a benefit to the wider community.
