Welcome to Elim Training

Elim Training exists to assist you in becoming anointed and practically equipped to serve in whatever environment you have been called to.

Elim Training's passion is to pass on knowledge (knowing) that encourages exploration, understanding, insight and fresh perspectives on important issues of our faith and the practice of ministry today.

However, training must go beyond the gathering of information to the formation (being) of the image of Jesus in us. This paradigm of training leads to vocational opportunities (doing) so that all become equipped for effective lives of service.

In Elim we don't see training as a one off event but rather a lifetime of ongoing development. Sharpening the skills, gifts and wisdom God has given us to serve Him and others most effectively.

Mick Leggett - Elim Training Co-ordinator

Mick has been working for Elim Training since February 2022. He has a wide range of organisational and technical experience having worked in client facing and behind the scenes roles for some of the largest IT consulting firms in the world. He took his Theology degree at Redcliffe Missions Bible College in Gloucester and his 2001 dissertation focused on the question of whether cyberspace was a valid evangelistic medium – the simple answer is yes!

Having spent their early married life church planting in Belgium, he and his wife Heather joined Reach Beyond in Bradford after Redcliffe, and worked with them for a decade, both of them in missions and missionary supporting roles. Mick became part of the global IT team, running systems for the UK, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and an occasional foray into Asia. During his time with reach Beyond he helped to establish the running of the International Conference on Computing and Mission in Europe (ICCM Europe) which is an annual conference supporting missionaries working in technical computing fields – a conference he is still connected with.

Mick became a Minister in Training with Elim in 2012 and was ordained in 2015 and Heather in 2019 they have ministered in Gloucester, Saint Peter Port - Guernsey and now in Bicester.

His part-time role within Elim Training is to oil the wheels, so that nationally focussed training can be delivered both in-person and online. This means that the greatest resource Elim has, it’s amazing people, are better equipped to minister in their context in a world of need – making disciples, developing leaders, growing churches and reaching nations.
