A community unlike any other​

Elim is nestled in the small town of Lima, 20 minutes south of Rochester. Our beautiful campus is comprised of both modern and historic buildings, including our dorms, but what really makes Elim shine is our loving, Christ-centered family atmosphere and tight-knit discipleship community.

Residence Halls

Elim’s residence halls enjoy a rich historical background as well as modern conveniences. Some of our buildings have been home to generations of Spirit-empowered students dating back to the 1800s!


Current dormitories include Faling Hall, Watson Hall, Washington Hall, the Library dorms, and the Tab dorms. Each includes kitchen facilities for quick meals, lounge and prayer room spaces, and a friendly atmosphere for both hanging out and doing homework.


Washers and dryers are available for the dorm residents in each building. Elim's small campus size means all dorms are just a minute's walk from the classrooms, Dining Hall, and business offices.
