The Heart of Elim Fellowship Canada
Elim Fellowship is a missional family—a network of pastors, churches, missionaries, and ministries—working in partnership to see God’s Kingdom advance in Canada and beyond. Our desire is not to control, but to serve and walk alongside. We believe in leading through influence, authenticity, and relational investment.
When we speak about partnership, we’re speaking about relationship, walking together in shared mission, mutual encouragement and strength. We believe that by building meaningful connections between churches and leaders, we create an environment where the Holy Spirit can move in powerful ways—locally and beyond.
Why We Changed the Name to “Partner Churches”
Partnership goes far beyond simple affiliation. While affiliation suggests a loose connection, partnership reflects a shared mission, mutual investment, and a commitment to grow together.
It is a relationship built on active collaboration and a united pursuit of a common goal. At Elim, we believe God has entrusted us with something that can strengthen and support local churches. By partnering, we can steward that gift well and release it in a way that brings life and growth to the body of Christ.
Partner Churches & Ministries
Three Foundations of Partnership
True partnership is more than a name — it’s the active choice to walk together in purpose. Through genuine connection, shared investment, and united mission, we join forces to see leaders and churches thrive while advancing God’s Kingdom near and far.
Tangible Connection
Churches and leaders are better together. We intentionally build relationships that offer mutual value and strength.
Invested Relationships
We share time, wisdome, and resources to support leaders in their personal growth and ministry success.
Kingdom Partnership
Our mission is global and local. We collaborate with like-minded ministries to expand God’s Kingdom across regions and nations.
Autonomy with Accountability
Each Partner Church or ministry is fully self-governing. You remain in control of your church’s affairs, leadership decisions, and direction.
Elim Fellowship operates on a relational, not legal, basis.
We do not hold any legal authority over churches or ministries.
The relationship is built on mutual assistance, not control.
We do, however, hold to a standard of cooperative relationship in the spirit of Philippians 2:3 (“Do nothing out of selfish ambition…”) and Philemon 14 (acting not out of compulsion but willingness).
Unity and honour are central to the culture we are building together.

Stronger Together for the Kingdom
Partnership with Elim creates deeper relational connections with frontline churches, extends Kingdom reach through each partner’s unique calling, and builds a stronger network of leaders impacting Canada for Christ.
We believe connection, investment, and partnership are all for the glory of God — and that you, your leadership, and your church have something God-given to contribute to the wider Body of Christ.
Let’s explore how walking together can serve what God is already doing in and through your church.
