Leadership
Dr. Danuta Case
President
Dr. Danuta Case began her journey with Elim 40 years ago as an international student with a clear call from God on her life. Four decades later, that journey came full circle when she was appointed as the ninth President of Elim Bible College. Since joining the college in 2013, Dr. Case has played a pivotal role in its growth and development. She helped lead Elim through the accreditation process and has been instrumental in expanding the college's academic offerings by launching bachelor's degree programs. Today, she provides strategic leadership that advances Elim's mission of preparing Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered servant leaders.
Before coming to Elim, Dr. Case served for 16 years at Warsaw Theological Seminary in Poland. She holds a Ph.D. in Education with a concentration in Higher Education Leadership and Management, as well as an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Regent University. A recipient of several teaching awards, she is passionate about developing educators and has conducted teacher-training workshops throughout the United States, Poland, and India.
Dr. Case is married to Pastor Tim Case. Together they have faithfully served the Lord in ministry for many years, and are very grateful for their adult children and grandchildren, who are among God's greatest blessings in their lives.

Board of Trustees
The mission of Elim has been protected and guided over the years through the men and women who have served as the Board of Trustees. As leaders of the school, they meet regularly and help decide where God has called the school to go. The students and faculty look to the board as men and women who have invested time and prayer into their position and are placed into an office of authority by God.
Each one of the board members has a unique relationship with the school, and it’s through this relationship that they bring wisdom and insight. All of the members are leaders of their own churches, ministries, and businesses, and are responsible for decision-making and direction there as well. They work in conjunction with Elim’s president and faculty in order to direct the students and staff after the heart of God.
