What’s Happening at Hope+Elim?
Sunday, Dec. 21, 9:00 am
Hope+Elim Kids will celebrate Christmas alongside their church family with songs and scripture! Join us at the 9:00 am service only!
Dec. 23 & 24
Ever wonder what’s behind the holiday cheer? This Christmas, we’re getting back to the heart of the season. Join us for a powerful worship service and a hopeful message from Pastor Brian Brown as we celebrate what Christmas is all about, the birth of Jesus!
This Advent we are partnering with Meals from the Heartland, Convoy of Hope and Many Hands for Haiti to feed our hungry brothers and sisters in Haiti! Haiti is facing its highest recorded levels of food insecurity ever, with 5.7 million people – more than half the population – facing acute hunger.
Monday, Jan. 19, 1:00-2:30 pm
Through music, spoken word, and storytelling, we will lift our voices in praise and lament, reflection and hope. Congregants of different races will share in testimony, truth-telling, and witness — acknowledging the pain of our shared history while pressing forward together toward the promise of God’s justice and peace.
Join us for a sacred time of remembrance, healing, and unity — where worship becomes a stream of righteousness, and justice rolls on like a river.

Who We Are
Although there are many forms of church partnerships and mergers, Hope+Elim is two congregations choosing to intentionally come together in November 2020 for the sake of God’s kingdom. The former Hope Des Moines campus and Elim Christian Fellowship are now Hope+Elim. We exist with a specific and unique role to serve the city of Des Moines striving for agape love and to create and preserve the Beloved Community, on earth, as it is in heaven.
One Church. Multiple Locations.
