There is a grace in Jesus that knows no limits—a grace that heals, restores, and fills us with hope. It’s more than a gentle touch; it’s an embrace that reaches into every part of our lives. His grace brings beauty from ashes, freedom from burdens, and joy where there was sorrow.

  • A Gathering for Women in Leadership

    Date: Friday, 24th January 2025
    Time: Doors open at 7PM
    Location: Area One, Portadown Elim Church

    Breathe Eve has become a special time we’ve set aside for female Christian leaders from all walks of life to come together in God’s presence. It’s an evening to pause, find renewal, and draw closer to Him. Whether you’re leading others in the marketplace, ministry, or both, this gathering is designed to help you realign with God’s purpose, be refreshed by His Spirit, and be encouraged in the company of like-minded women.

    We are excited to welcome Cathy Madavan as our guest this year. Cathy brings wisdom, humor, and heartfelt encouragement from her journey with God, offering insights that inspire and empower women to lead with faith and resilience.

    This smaller, focused gathering allows for more personal connections, so spaces are limited. When you book, please share a bit about where you’re from and the area where you serve. Breathe Eve will take place in our Area One facility, just across from the main church building.

    We look forward to welcoming you for this special evening of encouragement, connection, and seeking God’s heart together.
