Elim Lutheran Church of Blackhoof

About Us :
Elim was organized on Wednesday, Nov 11, 1931, with 23 Charter Members and their children. Services were held in the shoolhouse every Sunday for two years. During this time plans were going forward for a church building. The present site was purchased for a sum of $75 from Nels Olson. An abandoned church building was given to the group and the men of the church tore it down, brought the usable materials to the site, and the present building was erected. The first pews were built by Pastor Rueben Johnson in 1942. Current pews were acquired from a church in Superior. In 1947 electric lights were installed. In the 1950s a basement was added. We remember with gratitude all those who have been instrumental in carrying on the work of the church over the years.
