We are a pentecostal church with a heart for the people of Newcastle and the North East.
The Toon, renowned for it’s lively party scene and passionate football following, is also home to our vibrant, exciting and dynamic church. Packed full of everyone: families, students, teens, young adults – you’re bound to feel right at home! Everyone is welcome.
With all that’s happening around COVID-19 (Coronavirus) across the globe – according to government guidelines – all our events and Sunday services are taking place online.
Join us every Sunday for our Online Service at http://online.hopecity.church at 10am.
In addition to this, we’ll also be live on Facebook each week for Tuesday Night Live hosted by our Lead Pastors.
