Elim is Different.

Ministry isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we live. At Elim, students are immersed in hands-on opportunities that prepare them to serve with wisdom, humility, and boldness.


There are lots of great places to get a degree, but Elim students want more. Every year, young people like you come to Elim wanting to know God better and seek His will for their life.


For over 100 years, God has touched lives and transformed hearts here, and there's more in store for you!
