What’s Happening at Hope+Elim?
Thursday, June 19, 6:00-8:00 pm
Join us for a special service on June 19th as we recognize, learn and celebrate Juneteenth to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. The celebration will include powerful worship, inspiring words from our keynote speaker, Dr. Ian Roberts, and performances by special musical guests. Our God is a God of compassion and action, and we are thankful we were ‘Set Free to Serve’.
At Hope+Elim, we offer diverse SQUADs for you to deepen your faith journey and make a meaningful impact. Whether you’re looking to serve as Christ’s hands and feet in our community, or participate in outreach events, there’s a SQUAD for you. From young adults seeking God’s purpose to those passionate about nurturing the next generation, together we can create a vibrant, caring community dedicated to serving God and others at Hope+Elim.

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.
