Ways to Give
The Elim Park Foundation
The Elim Park Foundation supports the mission and vision of Elim Park Baptist Home and was established in 2009 as a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization run exclusively for charitable and religious purposes. The Foundation furthers the welfare, programs, and activities of Elim Park through efforts to secure, distribute, and administer various charitable contributions. The Foundation adheres to organizational guidelines and specific needs as identified by the Board of Directors and our donors.
Direct Gifts
Chaplain Support Fund
Do you have a heart for those who have dedicated their lives to serving God and His people? The Mary Melby Fund assists retired pastors, chaplains and missionaries who have served the Baptist General Conference with housing expenses and allows them to reside and continue their ministry here at Elim Park. The fund honors the name of Mary Melby, Elim Park’s first superintendent, a dedicated missionary and servant of God, and it helps and honors others who serve God.

The staff at Elim Park plays a huge part in the success of the community, and it is our pleasure to support them when they need it most.

The combined force of many small gifts makes a great difference and can provide the help a person needs when facing the unexpected.
