Who are we?

The evangelic e-elim church of Thonon, is a part of the large Pentecostal movement (Elim Pentecostal Church). It was established in 1915 in the United Kingdom through the ministery of Georges Jeffreys's, and today approximately 9000 churches are represented all over the world.

The name " Elim " comes from the biblical book of Exodus. The Israelites were exhausted and discouraged after their release from Egyptian slavery. On their route towards the country promised by Canaan, they arrived at a place called Elim. It was an oasis in the desert where there were 12 springs of waters and 70 palm trees (Exodus 15:27).

In France there are several Elim churches unified under the UEEEF*, and which are part of the Protestant Federation of France. The e-elim church of Thonon-les-Bains was established in June, 2002 by Minister Luc Favre.
