what is church@hpc?
church @ hyde park corner is an inclusive community where students can ask questions about life and faith, learn with and from each other, and go through uni life together.
who are we?
We’re a group of students, recent graduates, and a support team, who live in and around Hyde Park - we get uni life, and have the desire to understand the community in which we live. We have a passion for showing people that Jesus and the church truly love and care about everyone - being there for you is what we’re all about.
We gather together every Sunday, and we regularly hold events that help students feel welcome and part of our community.
why does hpc exist?
Church @ Hyde Park Corner exists to create a welcoming community for all students. We know a big part of student community is food, space & wellbeing, which is why we open up our building every Sunday and provide free food and opportunities to chat with our team. Everyone is welcome here – no matter your opinions, perspectives or questions. Questions of life and faith are universal, no matter your religion, and we strive to be a safe space for every student to explore them, and to make friends in the process.
We also get that the wider Christian church has done many positive things for society, but we also acknowledge, at the same time, it has got things wrong. We as church@hyde park corner alongside our wider St Augustine’s family want to change that. Lots of us have a story to tell of how Jesus has changed our lives for the better, and we truly believe that Jesus is for everyone, and loves everyone.
We launched in September 2020, in the heart of Hyde Park, so that we could be close to students in the midst of their challenges.
