Elle Limebear
Elle Limebear has lived her life between two worlds. As the daughter of Delirious? front man, Martin Smith, Elle has experienced first-hand the thrill of stadiums filled with people while on tour around the world. As a worship leader and youth pastor in Brighton, UK, she is immersed in a close-knit, daily ministry within her community. She grew up seeing the global church and her local church worshipping God simultaneously.
Elle says that one of her favourite roles in life is being an older sister. “I would love to sit with everyone and chat about everything. For them to feel safe like they’re talking to an older sibling or a long-time friend. I want my music to make them feel valued and included. I want them to feel like they have a seat at the table.” Elle recently got married to her husband Tom and they live in Brighton, UK
Care For The Family
Care for the Family is a UK charity committed to strengthening family life. The impact when things go wrong can be devastating, but we believe every family should have somewhere to turn to in the tough times and put down strong roots in the good times to see through the storms when they come.
We help parents, couples and those who are bereaved through our events, courses, podcasts, volunteer befrienders, books and accessible, evidence-based resources. We also train and equip those who support families, whether professionally or informally, so that more people can access help, hope and encouragement when it matters most.
