ELIM HOME

Founded by Jerry Falwell in 1958, the Elim Home is a free, 8-week program for men battling drugs and alcohol. We are a ministry of Thomas Road Baptist Church, located in beautiful central Virginia. Our primary focus is to help men find deliverance from substance abuse through Salvation in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit... One of the oldest ministries of Thomas Road Baptist Church, Elim Home for Alcoholics, was established in 1959. It began, and continues to this day, as a spiritual ministry dedicated to helping alcoholic men find freedom from their bondage... A compassionate story was carried in Lynchburg's Daily Advance about Earl and George and what Thomas Road Baptist Church was doing in the rather primitive farmhouse in Stonewall. This story was transmitted via the wires of the Associated Press and circulated around the world. Soon applications for Elim Home flooded into the church which had, in just a few weeks, filled the home with alcoholics from the Lynchburg..
