About us

The core principle of Elm St Mission arrives from a theology of mission which sees the key mission of the church is to “being with”, not “doing for”.  We may or may not be able to solve problems, or ‘fix them’ as such, but what we can do is offer a safe and loving place where people can gather, feel they belong, where they are valued, respected, supported and encouraged. This then becomes our mission-to be “with”. A core goal is community.

Whilst the aim of the Elm St Mission is not solely to fix a problem or provide “for” people’s basic needs, support on an individual basis is offered through pastoral care/counselling, advocacy, informal case management, and/or referrals to appropriate service providers.

The Elm St Mission provides a welcoming place for those who live with a mental illness and/or who are socially isolated. It provides structured activities to create opportunities for people to socialise and engage in the wider community from which they may be or feel excluded due to their illness and/or limited finances.
