WHY ARE WE DOING THIS

Our neighbourhood is changing, and we want to be part of that.  There’s more than 10,000 homes scheduled for building in the coming years, a new arts performance arena, and a re-burgeoning business community as offices recover post Covid.  
We’ve bought this wonderful new home to give us more space to invite the people God has placed around us to find living hope in Jesus. We plan for the space to be used for God's kingdom by other like-minded organisations. One has already moved in and we hope more can do the same.

What God Is Doing

While church attendance across Scotland has been declining for decades, we are encouraged by what God is doing in Edinburgh. Hope City has grown by around 20% year on year, our children’s ministry now welcomes around 100 children each Sunday, and we regularly gather around 250 people across two services. We had outgrown our previous home and believe this new building will help us make room for many more people to hear about Jesus.

WORK STILL TO DO

We’re well on the way to raising the £2.3M we need to complete the purchase of this building through internal and external fundraising.  Our church family have raised over £600,000 to date to cover our first payment instalment and renovations.  We’ve raised another £600,000 from external partners so far but that still leaves us with a way to go.

PARTNER WITH US

We’ll continue our internal fundraising but we need the help of kingdom-minded partners to join with us as we seek to make the project a reality.  Together we can build a future hope for our city and our neighbourhood.
