Term and Conditions for EXPLORE at Ellel Pierrepont

Terms and Conditions

For EXPLORE at Ellel Pierrepont

Statement on Restricted Services:

Ellel Ministries International exists to teach the principles and practice of Christianity so that Christians may be drawn into a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ. For an understanding of the Christian beliefs and ethos of Ellel Ministries International see “What we believe”. We are open to all who are seeking Jesus Christ and who wish to benefit from this ministry and who seek to use our services for this purpose. We reserve the right to not allow our services to be used in a way that is contrary to our Christian beliefs and ethos (and therefore potentially harmful to those our ministry seeks to help).

House Rules:

To avoid conflict with our ministry purposes and our Christian beliefs and for the safe-guarding, comfort and spiritual welfare of our other guests and the team, the following are not permitted at Ellel Ministries centres:

  • Alcohol, recreational drugs or any form of substance abuse. Smoking (including e-cigarettes) is only permitted outside, in designated places.
  • Verbal abuse or aggressive behaviour.
  • Any sexual intimacy outside a traditional biblical marriage.
  • People sharing a bedroom who are involved (or intend to be involved) together in an intimate sexual relationship outside a traditional biblical marriage.
  • Inappropriate or excessive public displays of sexual intimacy or affection.
  • Pornographic material, including on-line access.
  • Religious practices (including occult) that are not consistent with our Christian beliefs and ethos.

If you are unsure whether something may fall outside activity permitted at our centres, please seek guidance beforehand from the relevant centre.

For further information on the Christian beliefs and ethos of Ellel Ministries International, including our understanding of marriage, see “What We Believe” and our statement of faith.

Please note that by signing up to EXPLORE you acknowledge that Ellel Ministries is an organisation which teaches the principles and practice of traditional biblical Christianity.
