Elim's Mission
The mission of Elim
Bible Institute is to glorify God and His Son, Jesus Christ, by
assisting the Church to fulfill the mandate of the Great Commission: to
preach the Gospel and make disciples of all nations. To this end, we
are committed to the task of preparing Christian workers and servant-leaders
for revival ministry worldwide, who manifest the character of Christ
and who minister in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe in the triune Godhead as eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe
in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in
His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed
blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand
of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.
We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor.
We believe
that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy
Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power
of God.
We believe in sanctification and holiness of heart and the overcoming life as God's design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.
We believe
that sexual purity is the standard for all God's children, which
requires abstinence from adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality,
or other sexual relationships or practices forbidden by Scripture.
We believe
that marriage is a sacred institution established by God and is the
uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.
We believe
in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, as on the day of Pentecost, and in
the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit in charismatic gifts and
ministries, and in His fruits in the believer.
We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the Atonement.
We believe in Christ's imminent, personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting domain.
We believe
in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved
unto everlasting life and they that are lost unto eternal punishment.
Core Values
Our Staff and students
comprise a community of believers committed to a life of expressive
worship, prayer, simplicity, integrity, holiness, servanthood and
mission-mindedness, both individually and corporately.
We are committed to providing a setting where
Spirit-impartation, systematic and intensive Bible study, academic
excellence, and practical ministerial training and experience are woven
together, so the student may be prepared for a variety of service
opportunities.
We are committed to discern, pursue, and participate in any fresh emphasis of the Holy Spirit's work in each generation.
We are committed to unity among believers on the fundamentals of the faith, but liberty in other doctrinal matters.
