Unstoppable together

Regional events expand as Aspire creates space for more women to encounter Jesus together.

 

Elim’s Aspire Women’s Ministry continues to grow, with several regional events moving out of local church halls and into larger venues—opening the doors for more women to gather, worship, and encounter God together.

This shift has already led to wider reach and greater impact across the UK. In April 2025, the ROAR women’s event stepped into a brand new venue at Warwick Arts Centre, drawing hundreds of women from across the Midlands and beyond. The day was full of vibrant worship, inspiring teaching, and powerful ministry moments that left a lasting mark on those who attended.

Then in May, Aspire’s ONE event returned to the ICC in Newport, South Wales, for its third year running. The day was marked by a deep sense of unity, celebration, and the unmistakable presence of God. Women from all ages and backgrounds came together under one banner to worship and hear from Jesus.

Kirsty, who attended ONE with a group from Weston-super-Mare, shared:

“There were 25+ of us in the end from Weston-super-Mare, with many of the women coming to the conference for the first time—in fact, most of them. To say they all had a great time would be an understatement. They came out of that hall empowered, fired up and glowing! These women are not the same as they were before Saturday.”

Moving into bigger venues isn’t just about numbers—it’s about creating space for more women to feel welcome, to come as they are, and to meet with God alongside others from different churches and communities. These moments are becoming powerful times of connection, encouragement, and deep spiritual encounter.

And there’s more to come. Aspire is all about making room—for women to gather, grow in faith, and go out into the world carrying the presence of Jesus with them, wherever life takes them.
