Elim Community Church (St Paul's), Carlisle


Elim Community Church stands on the corner of Lonsdale Street and Spencer Street, and around St Paul's Square, in Carlisle. The building was originally St Paul's Church, built 1869-1870, for the Church of England by Habershon and Brock. It was consecrated on the 30th November, 1870. It became the Church of St Paul and St Mary in 1932, but closed for worship in 1976 and was declared redundant in 1978, at which time the fittings were removed.[1] In 1979 the building was taken over by an Evangelistic congregation and became St Paul’s Elim Pentecostal Church. It was renamed Elim Community Church in 2001. The building is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.

The Pentecostal Church in Carlisle was founded by of a series of Evangelistic meetings in the city in December, 1926, organised by George Jeffreys. The congregation moved into it’s own premises in West Walls in April 1927 (the site is now a car park!)[2], before moving here to St Paul's in 1979.
