ABOUT ELIM

At Elim, we know that each individual has been created in the Creator’s image and has a God-given purpose.

Through Elim Christian School, Adult Services, Residential Services, or Ministry Outreach programming, individuals with disabilities are equipped to achieve their highest God-given potential, living their lives glorifying Him!

 

HOST A SUPPLY DRIVE

An Elim HOPE Packs Supply Drive is a wonderful way for a church to come alongside people with disabilities and join them in Kingdom Ministry.  Supply Drives make a huge impact on Elim's adults, and they help people in need at the same time.

PLANNING FOR TRANSITIONS

Primarily for Elim families, the Transition Conference offers an opportunity for parents of children with special needs to learn more about the opportunities and challenges associated with the transition to adulthood. Learn more.

THE FATHER'S HOUSE

Join Elim and Joni & Friends for a unique workshop and experience that will help you and your church take the next step in ministry to and with people who have disabilities. Saturday, February 18, 9 am - 3 pm.
