Elam United Methodist Church

Welcome

WELCOME! We're so glad you've stopped by...

As you move through the pages of our site, we hope you capture a glimpse of who we are and of our life together.

We believe a balanced life of faith means that we care for one another, reach beyond ourselves, explore our faith and worship together.

So we care, reach, explore and worship. We're not perfect people by any means but we invite you into a journey of living more fully into the marvelous grace of God we've found in following Jesus Christ.

Welcome!

Elam’s Staff Parish Relations Committee is pleased to announce the hiring of Eileen Hartmann as our new Administrative Assistant starting January 2, 2026. Eileen grew up in Berwyn, PA, and later moved to Wilmington, DE, to pursue a career in the floral industry. As a florist, she found great fulfillment in using creativity to bring beauty and comfort to life's most joyful and challenging moments.

During her years in the floral business, Eileen met her husband Andy, with whom she shared 22 wonderful years. After his passing, she returned to school to study computers, transitioning into the business world. Most recently, Eileen worked in the hearing industry, where she found it deeply rewarding to help individuals improve their hearing and overall quality of life.

Eileen comes from a large, close-knit family with nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews spread across the East Coast. She enjoys gardening and sharing the vegetables she grows, dog-sitting, reading, participating in aqua fitness, and spending time with her friends and family.

Eileen is a devoted member of the Christian faith. She is grateful for the opportunity to support and serve the church community as part of her ongoing commitment to helping others. She has resided in the Garnet Valley for the past 10 years.
