History of the Chapel
Formerly
Elim Evangelical Free
Svea Township
Elim congregation was formed about the turn of the
twentieth century.
The square steeple was destroyed by a storm
in the 1920's
The congregation held services at Elim until the late 1970's and then
merged with the Evangelical Free congregation in Valley City
In order to preserve this historic church building, it was
moved to the Sheyenne Riverbend Farm in 2005
The church has been repaired
and a new entry constructed complete with a steeple.
We pray that
it may see many more years of service in its new home at
Sheyenne Riverbend Farm
