Elim Glorious Ministry is Spirit-filled, non-denominational with a heart for revival, worship, and reaching all nations with the love of God. While our fellowship began with Tamil believers, we are a family open to people of every culture and background. Our desire is that all who come will encounter God’s presence, grow in faith through His Word, and be equipped to serve others with the joy and hope found in Jesus Christ.
In July 2022, a small group of Tamil believers in Edmonton began gathering for prayer, worship, and fellowship. What started as a simple gathering—later known as Edmonton Tamil Church—became a spiritual home for believers hungry for God’s presence. Although there was no formal pastor at the time, God strengthened the fellowship through unity, prayer, and faith.
During this early season, Bro. Joshua Hananiah ministered as a guest preacher, teaching the Word and encouraging the believers to pursue Spirit-filled living. His ministry helped lay a strong spiritual foundation and cultivated a growing desire for revival and a deeper walk with God.
In June 2025, by God’s leading, the fellowship joined the vision and mission of Elim Glorious Ministry, founded by Pastor Joshua Hananiah. Obeying God’s call, Pastor Joshua established a Spirit-filled ministry focused on revival, healing, and reaching all nations. From its Tamil roots, the fellowship embraced a broader calling to serve people of every background with the love and hope of Christ.
From humble beginnings to a Spirit-filled ministry, Elim Glorious Ministry continues to be a place of refreshing—just as the waters of Elim in Scripture renewed God’s people. Our story is not just about us; it is about telling His story—the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ—so that lives are transformed, families restored, and nations reached.
Vision
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a Spirit-filled church where lives are refreshed, families are restored, and nations are reached with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. We envision a church alive with God’s presence—a place of revival and refreshing where people from every culture and generation encounter His love, grow in His Word, and are empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry the message of hope to the world.
Faith Statement
Elim Glorious Ministry – upholds the Bible as the inspired Word of God and the ultimate authority in faith and life. We believe in one God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and in the divinity and redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, and we practice Baptism and Communion as sacred ordinances. The Holy Spirit empowers believers for service and spiritual growth. The Church is the Body of Christ, called to spread the Gospel, serve one another, and live in unity. We anticipate Christ’s return and the renewal of all things in His Kingdom.
