From vision to village 🏘️ In 1998, Gerry Ebbers became Elim Village’s first Executive Director, helping turn an idea for a Christian retirement community into reality. From engaging local churches and community groups to guiding the project through approvals and welcoming the first residents, Gerry played a key role in shaping the foundation of Elim.

An idea mentioned at a Sunday night Bible study has grown into a community that’s now home to over a thousand seniors.

More than 30 years ago, W***y Van Huizen and Winnie Vandenberg were part of a small group that asked a simple but challenging question: What does it really mean to put faith into action? That question sparked the idea that would become Elim Village.

Today, both women live at Elim—and their story is a powerful reminder of how small acts of faith can grow into something far bigger than imagined.

Celebrating 25 years of Elim Village! 🎉

In 2001, Elim Village welcomed its first residents, the beginning of a community shaped by care, faith, and connection. Twenty-five years later, that same spirit continues to shape daily life across both of our campuses.

These images highlight a few of the key moments in Elim's history. In the months ahead, we’ll be sharing stories, reflections, and memories that celebrate the people and moments that have shaped Elim Village along the way.

A Community That Cares

Beginning in the early 1990’s, the idea of a Christian retirement community was formed from a small group of Christians studying the book of James. More than two decades later, the original vision is now a reality. Our Fleetwood campus now offers a full range of seniors housing and care options and we have expanded our concept to the picturesque community of Garrison Crossing.

Today, in a community bonded by faith, we have over 600 residents in Independent Living, Assisted/Supported Living and Full Care who call Elim Village ‘home.’
