Elim's new General Superintendent, Mark Pugh, has asked everyone across the Elim network of churches to enter a time of consecration as we look to the future of the Elim Movement. Many times throughout scripture, the people of God took time to consecrate themselves.
“I dare to believe that Elim’s future can be greater than our history if we will humbly bow in surrender and service. Our season of consecration is key to this right posture.” — Mark Pugh, General Superintendent

Consecration is the transfer of a person or a thing to the sacred sphere for a special purpose or service. The word consecration literally means "association with the sacred". Persons, places, or things can be consecrated, and the term is used in various ways by different groups. The origin of the word comes from the Latin stem consecrat, which means dedicated, devoted, and sacred. A synonym for consecration is sanctification; its antonym is desecration.
We are taking the next 21 days as a personal time of consecration and ask you to join us too.
