Worship at Elim is God centered and glorious and one may find it just a little different from the norm. It is a blend of the charismatic and the traditional. It is a command performance to God - through Davidic and Biblical Celebrations. We believe that worship and praise to God is essential and outweighs the hearing of the preached word. There is a blending of the majestic liturgical forms, the glory of the hymns of faith, the ebullient and vibrant charismatic praise and gospel songs.
