“The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

(Hebrews 11:1)

This is how the Bible describes the phenomenon we call Faith. Ironically, it also describes the mind state that existed years before the physical building known ‘now’ as Elim Open Bible begun to manifest in the reality. It is essential to keep in mind the word now, as it wasn’t always known by the aforementioned name. In fact, many veteran members will never forget the name ‘the little dirt church’ while others still hold fast to the memories of meetings in Brother Roman’s home. Whichever memory you cling to, Elim in its purest form is the collective vision and effort of individuals who refused to give up and were led by God at the very helm of their hearts.

​

The Lord, through the family at Elim, has touched many lives within the community and its environs and has declared Elim planted and grounded right where it is. Without a doubt, God is still looking for members to serve in order to continue the expansion and reach of the church. Those who have gone before us have paved the way, and set the foundation and it is now time for a new set of workers to take the stage and lead the march into a new revolution. We are now being called to arise and continue to build; hence the journey continues.
