Welcome to St. Elmo

Saint Elmo is a small, tight-knit community located in southeastern Fayette County, Illinois. With a population just under 1,500, this charming town is full of heart, history, and hometown pride. Known for its rural roots and strong family values, Saint Elmo offers a peaceful pace of life and a deep sense of connection among neighbors.

From a love for local athletic events that draw the community together to hometown traditions that celebrate unity, Saint Elmo is more than just a dot on the map—it’s a place where relationships matter, and faith runs deep. It’s a town with rich potential, and we believe God has big plans for this community.

At Transformation Church, we’re excited to be part of what God is doing in Saint Elmo—bringing hope, purpose, and transformation to every heart and every home.
