FAQ

What makes Elim special?

At Elim, we know that each person, regardless of ability, was created in the image of God and has value and a purpose. Based on that knowledge, our mission is to equip individuals with disabilities to achieve their highest God-given potential. Elim is a multi-faceted organization, providing educational, therapeutic, vocational, and recreational services to those we serve. Additionally, Elim serves as a resource in disability and special education programming for families and educators, both in this country and beyond.

How is Elim funded as a non-profit organization?

Individuals may receive funding to attend Elim Christian Services from their school district or a private insurance company. This funding does not, however, fully satisfy all the needs of many individuals served by Elim. Because of this, Elim relies on the generosity of thousands of supporters to meet its funding requirements and provide the excellent programming that Elim’s children and adults need to achieve their highest God-given potential.

What are the ways that Elim benefits the local community/community as a whole?

Elim Christian Services branches out into local, national, and international communities through prayer, service opportunities, and community events.

Further, Elim seeks to equip churches, schools, businesses and families to better support people with disabilities, and creating opportunities for each person to flourish where God has placed them.

How does Elim give witness to Jesus Christ?
