As God's people fled the Egyptians they, crossed the Red Sea.

Once again, they were in the desert. The first true Oasis they came to was a land rich and vibrant. A land of lush trees and rich springs. This was a place that gave them rest and renewal. A place that nourished their lives. The Place was called ELIM.

There were 70 tall, graceful palm trees and there was plenty of water from the 12 springs. This was a respite for the hot, dry desert. ELIM, A Hebrew word meaning "big trees", became a symbol for "nourishment, for encouragement, for peace, for life".

Just as the ancient ELIM nourished life, so will ELIM VALLEY. We will have 12 neighborhoods symbolic of the 12 ancient springs. Our grand entrance will feature 70 beautiful shade trees. Our oasis will rise out of the desert as the ELIM did of old. A place created to nourish life...your life...your way.
