Pastor Chris invites you to a time of conversation.
In these days you may be experiencing a need to talk about where God is in the midst of all this and to be assured of God’s presence. Pastor Chris welcomes the opportunity to journey through this with you. You may call him at any time at 360-907-4289 or email him at prnolte@gmail.com.
Pastor Chris is also available at the church office on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. In order to best practice safe physical distancing, conversations will be held by appointment in the church entrance area (or outside, weather permitting) with chairs spaced at least 12 feet apart. Please call/text Pastor Chris at 360-907-4289 or email him at prnolte@gmail.com to schedule an appointment. He looks forward to sharing this time with you.
Worship on Sundays at 9 a.m. – in-person and online
Our congregation and the CHURCH-at-large have never been closed! We have been ministering to each other in all sorts of ways given the extraordinary limitations of our world-wide situation. We have reopened our doors and look forward to you joining us for worship!
Masks are no longer required, but are always welcome. Your choice.
No more blue tape, which was used to mark social distance, will be in the Sanctuary.
Coffee hour – coffee, cold drink, and store-bought goodies only.
Masks and hand sanitizer will continue to be available.
Looking forward to gathering with you all once again!

Welcome – and thank you for finding our website!
The people of our faith community and I warmly welcome you and are glad you have found us. God is on the move among us – and you’re invited to join our journey!
We gather on Sundays at 9 a.m. to hear God’s Word, sing, pray, and celebrate the Lord’s Supper together. A time of singing begins ten minutes before the service (except during Advent and Lent). Coffee and conversation as well as education classes for all ages follow our worship. Our prayer is that you will find Elim to be a place of rest, refreshment and renewal as together we take God’s message of love and grace out into the world.
The gifts of God are FOR ALL!
Pastor Chris Nolte
