  The last time anyone dare to write anything less than 5 stars about the Dunedin Elim church, the review was scrutinised and dismissed in a negative light during the church service. Instead of being defensive&pretend everything is roses, the core leadership needs to sit down and think about why the church has lost at least 1/3 of their congregation in 2015, with both the student pastor&the children's minister stepping down all in 2015. Dunedin Elim no longer offers 3 services on Sundays. What the Senior Pastor needs to understand is that due to verbal disagreements among the staff (behind each other's back, but in front of members of the same church), this trickles down to the congregation level at life groups and other social settings. A genuine concern some of us heard last year is that while it is preached that people should reconcile&be welcoming, the question is how often the congregation has seen the leadership team reconcile with one another and invite new people to their own homes. There needs to be improved levels of open&honest communication among the leadership team and between the leadership and the congregation. The church has no AGM, no membership classes minus one off lunch, no alpha course classes. The vibe is unfortunately, hierarchical, polite and cliche. After a while, you start to see that there are quite a few people who have been attending this church for years, yet nobody sits next to them during services unless with the same people/family. Is this meant to be accepted as normal? New suggestions are not welcome. There is a sense of distance between the young congregation and the senior Minister and we do not agree it is purely the new student minister's job to build relationships with the students. Before being defensive&dismissing this another less than perfect 5 stars review, the core leadership needs to think about how to listen and address the real growing concerns whispered within the congregation. Dunedin Elim needs to address the current challenges and grow. The church overall needs lots of support and prayers.
