The Art of a Fulfilling Life
“With so many fun things to do here, our grandkids love coming to visit. Grandma and Grandpa are cool again!”
An architectural wonder, the Art & Leisure Center is a “mini resort” within our larger community offering something for everyone, including:
- A mountain chalet-style Club House for card and board games, billiards, indoor shuffle board and more.
- A state-of-the-art golf simulator that transports you to major courses around the world.
- A unique TV-style kitchen (think Bobby Flay!) for lively cooking demonstrations.
Just next door to the Club House, the ArtWorks studio inspires the artist in all of us with multiple pottery wheels, an onsite kiln and a well-stocked painting and crafts studio.
True to our roots, the heart of our community is The Sanctuary Prayer Chapel, surrounded by gardens and fountains, where all are welcome to gather in fellowship and faith.
Seeing is believing, so we hope you make time to visit our remarkable Arts & Leisure Center when you arrive for a tour of Elim Park.

Caring that Goes Above and Beyond
“Everyone, I mean everyone at Elim Park, goes out of their way to make sure you feel cared for and special. I believe the staff here are angels!”
While we are thankful for our beautiful campus, the true heart and soul of this unique community is its team of Elim Angels—extraordinary staff members, from every service area, who demonstrate an elevated level of care and dedication in all they do.
We begin by selecting individuals who are looking for real purpose and greater meaning in their working lives. Everyone who serves in our community takes part in an Elim Angels training program that embodies our culture’s guiding principles: Act, Nurture, Give, Engage, Love, Serve.
Once initial training is completed, every new Elim Angel is asked this essential question: “Do you have the heart to wear this shirt?” With the answer of an emphatic “I do!” another Elim Angel earns their wings!
