Vision
Since its foundation the Harbour Church has sought to be a place of refuge, repair, renewal, rescue and ultimately a centre of mission - 'a harbour for all'. It seeks to be the vehicle through which God's Kingdom can 'break in', through the proclamation of the Good News of Jesus and the working of God's Spirit. The Harbour Church, seeks to be true to the aims and purposes of the Christian faith, as taught by Jesus; Jesus' teaching being best summed up in the 'Two Great Commandments' (Matthew 22:37-40) and the 'Great Commission' (Matthew 28:19-20). The Harbour Church holds these to be central to its direction and purpose in Falmouth and beyond.
History
The current Harbour Church in Falmouth was founded in September 2010. There has however been an Elim church in the town for many years. The orignal church was born out of a revival in Falmouth in 1935. Three locations in the town seemed to be the focal point of the revival. Malin's Hall, the Co-op Hall and the Drill Hall. The Co-op hall is no longer in existence, but the other 2 halls can still be seen today. The church eventually moved to Draceana Avenue (where the Assemblies of God church meets today) where it met for many years, before closing in 1990s. The revived work has been part of the wider re-establishment of a number of Elim churches in Cornwall.
About Elim

Elim was founded in 1915 by George Jeffreys, a young Christian from Maesteg in South Wales. Jeffreys and a group of friends, known as the Elim Evangelistic Band, preached, started churches and witnessed a move of God that was characterised by miraculous healings and an explosion in the number of people becoming Christians. There are a number of Elim Chuches in Cornwall : Camborne, Penzance, Perranporth, Lostwithiel , Redruth, Launceston, Newquay, St. Ives.
