You are so welcome here

Join our student community at Hope Church as we grow in faith, do life and journey with Jesus together. Whether you're at Winchester University, Winchester School of Art or Sparsholt — or you're not studying but are student-aged — we'd love you to come along.

Fridays are filled with games, worship, teaching and much more. However you find us, you'll find a warm welcome.

On a Friday

What we get up to

Open the Bible and explore Scripture
Big Questions Q&A nights
Small-group Bible discussions
Worship and prayer nights
We're with you

Becoming — or being — a student brings its joys, but also its challenges: the nerves of a new city, making new friends, and living out your faith away from home.

We'll dive into all of it together at Hope Students, and so much more. We want to journey with you — and remind you that Jesus has great plans for you.

Beyond Fridays

Life together

Monthly socials

Once a month, it's a social! We've done all sorts — from Bake Off to Flip Out, games nights to Christmas parties. Come along and bring your friends; these evenings are always a blast.

Community Groups

A home away from home

Fridays aren't the only way to belong. Right across the city, our Community Groups meet through the week to share meals, pray and open the Bible together. They're a brilliant way to do life with people of all ages and life stages — a wider church family who'll know you, cheer you on and support you while you're away from home.
