You’re invited to celebrate Christmas with us!
There’s something special about gathering together on Christmas Eve, and we’d love you and your family to join us!
Come and celebrate the joy, peace and hope we have in Jesus, with Christmas carols, the story of His birth and the joy of being together.
Whether you’ve been part of HopeUC for years or you’re visiting for the very first time, there’s a place for you this Christmas.

Please note that we won’t be conducting any Christmas Day services.
Will there be a Sunday service on Sunday 27th December?
On Sunday 27 December, we’ll be gathering online only, with no services at our HopeUC campuses.
Each year, we take this Sunday to give our incredible volunteers and teams a well deserved rest and time to enjoy with family and friends.
We’d love you to join us online at 10:30am at hopeuc.tv or catch up anytime on our YouTube channel.
We’ll be back gathering in person at all our campuses on Sunday 3 January 2027!
