For a long time Portadown Elim has been searching for land, a place where we could expand our borders and push forward with the work. That dream became a reality when we signed the deeds to our new land.

The site is 4.3 acres of wasteland right in the middle of the town. Despite it being prime retail space it has laid dormant for years occupied only by drug users and graffiti artists who decorated the walls of the derelict building within its perimeter. It’s as if it was just waiting for us ‘for such a time as this’.

So now we have the incredible opportunity to take wasteland associated with vandalism and crime and turn it around to become a centre of light and life in the middle of our community. We are grateful for everything God has done in the past and now we look forward to a new day with fresh challenges and opportunities to serve Him and our town.
