The Elim Experience

Experience God like never before.

More than just a college, Elim is a place to learn about God and to experience Him. From weekly chapels to hands-on ministry, you will be saturated with opportunities to encounter and serve God. As one of our alumni recalled, Elim is “an incubator that helps you grow in ways you never thought possible.”

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.

Foundation's Weekend

Our Foundation's 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, we spend time with the Lord and delve into deeper understanding of the Word. This is time well-spent in corporate prayer and personal devotions as well as worship and speakers that will stir up your relationship with God.

Local Churches

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

Student Ministries

Preparation for ministry is central to your time at Elim, and and helping you begin to move in your calling is a primary focus. Weekly Student Ministry assignments give you chances to serve in various ministry capacities alongside local partner churches and non-profits, pushing you to grow in both your interests and in areas 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 ministry to pastoral summits to missions, students are able to grow and be edified beyond just their regular classes.
