Vision
"The Harbour Church is a place of refuge and renewal, where lives are transformed by the love of Jesus and sent into his mission. Rooted in the Great Commandments to love God and our neighbour (Matthew 22:34-40) and the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20), we are called to be a harbour for all proclaiming the Good News and advancing God's Kingdom in Falmouth, Penryn 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.
