Welcome to Hope Church Portsmouth
We exist to know, and make known, the restorative love of Jesus.
Sundays at Hope Church
-
A dedicated time of prayer before the main worship service. We have this time inviting God's presence, preparing hearts, and covering the service in prayer.
-
Hospitality is what we’re about! It’s our heart to show you a warm welcome. We do this by greeting you at the door, inside, and with a team to serve hot drinks and biscuits.
-
Our service begins with lively sung worship. We have time of prayer, a sermon, and time to respond. All are welcome!
HOPE KIDS
HOPE KIDS
At Hope Church, we believe kids aren’t just the church of the future, they’re the church of now! This is why we begin our Sunday services all together for the first two songs before kids split into their age-appropriate groups.
-
It’s all about creating a safe and loving space to care for 1-5 year olds on a Sunday morning during the main service. We run every Sunday (apart from any 5th Sundays & Special Sundays where we’re all in together!), heading out after the first slot of worship. It’s an opportunity to hang out, help and encourage some of our youngest and coolest members of the church.
There is some time of free play with toys followed by a teaching time with our favourite dog puppet - Jack.
Our group love learning about our Great Big God and His amazing plan for us. -
Groundbreakers is our Kids’ Church provision for school Years 1-5, we run every Sunday (apart from any Celebration Sundays, where we’re all in together!), heading out after the first slot of worship. Our aim is to help our kids to grow in their personal relationship with Jesus; to help facilitate their own, tangible, experiences of the Holy Spirit and to develop a deep knowledge of who they are and how they are found in their loving, Father God. We want to do this by regularly delving into the word, creating opportunities to listen and respond to God’s voice, for kids to feed into each other (and the wider church) and to create good habits and rhythms for life!

Rooted is our Sunday morning group for young people in school years 6-9. On the second and fourth Sunday of the month, they receive teaching in our group and then on the other two Sundays a month they split their time between serving in a Sunday morning ministry of their choice and being in the main church meeting. Rooted helps to facilitate that transition from kids’ groups to being a part of the main service.
Our vision is to see young people grow in their faith through studying the word, developing their spiritual gifts and listening to God’s voice. To start to develop and refine a deeper faith of their own and to start to put into practice spiritual practices they learn through Rooted into their everyday lives.
