Adults

The five attributes of a healthy congregation are: Worship, Belong, Grow, Serve and Invite. The adult ministry programs at Elim provide an opportunity to participate in all of these facets of church life.

Sunday morning adult education
Each Sunday morning at the 10 o’clock hour, there are several choices for adult learning.  There are no Sunday adult ed classes during the summer.

Bible Studies
There are a number of opportunities for adults to grow and learn through Bible studies. All are welcome to attend any of these sessions. There is no need to register in advance for the Thursday Bible studies. You are welcome to visit either of these at any time. (These Bible studies meet September through May.)
Thursday morning Men’s Bible Study at 7:30 a.m. in the Reception Room.
Thursday morning Women’s Bible Study at 9:30 a.m. This group studies the readings for the upcoming Sunday.

Visitation Ministry Team
We are called as people of God to minister to the homebound members of Elim and friends through one-to-one visits. This Ministry Team strives to ensure that all continue to be an integral part of our church community. These ministries include:
Visitation: Visiting one-to-one in a care facility or a member’s home
Transition: These members need short-term contact, usually in a care center after hospitalization
