Experience God

like never before.

Above anything else, Elim is a place to learn about God and to experience Him. From chapel services to hands-on ministry, you will be saturated with opportunities to encounter and serve God. As one alum recalled, Elim is “an incubator that helps you grow in ways you never thought possible.”

Student Ministries

Preparation for ministry is central to your time at Elim. Weekly Student Ministry assignments let you serve in all sorts of ways - from youth groups and worship to urban food ministry and evangelism - with local churches and non-profits, pushing you to grow both in your interests and outside your comfort zone.

Conferences

Elim's connections allow students to be involved in a number of conferences each year, both on-campus and locally. From college ministries to pastoral summits to missions, you're able to grow and be edified beyond just your regular classes.

Foundations Weekend

Our Foundations Weekend each September is your first introduction to the wealth of teaching, discipleship, and spiritual experience found here at Elim. Spirit-led worship, impactful sermons, and foundational teaching round out this powerful time of preparation.

Week of Prayer

The first week of every spring semester is set aside as our Week of Prayer. With no classes to distract, you'll spend time with the Lord and delve into the Word. This is time well-spent in corporate prayer and personal devotions as well as worship and speakers that will build up your relationship with God.

Chapels

Three days a week, we gather as a student body to worship the Lord, fellowship with each other, and learn from powerful speakers. Our variety of chapel styles offer a range of opportunities for prayer, prophetic ministry, student leadership, worship, and teaching.

Local Churches

All staff and students attend church weekly at a number of local congregations, encouraging more opportunities for ministry, growth, and fellowship outside of our on-campus activities.
