Welcome

Hobart City Church of Christ is a Bible-based, family friendly open Christian Church in the heart of the Tasmanian capital’s central business district.  
We believe in creating spaces of hope and compassion where everyone can encounter Jesus. Everyone is welcome here, so please consider joining us for a Sunday worship service!

What To Expect

Being so centrally located, Hobart City Church is blessed to have so many visitors (who we prefer to call our guests) from our local neighbourhoods and from around the world. One of the first things you will notice is that our building does not look like a church – there is no pointed roof, stained glass, or organ – in fact, our building used to be a plumbing supply warehouse.  

Our 10:00 am service runs for about one and a quarter to one and a half hours. As you enter the building from 8 Goulburn Street, one of our welcomers will meet you at the front door and give you a newsletter, which contains guest information and they can answer any questions you may have. If it is your first time, you will also receive a Welcome Pack which contains more information about us, and provides you with a way to connect further. The welcomers can also show you to a seat, introduce you to someone new, or connect with children’s church team (see below for more information).  If you are a first-time guest, we encourage you to complete a connect card – that way we can write to you and thank you for attending – we will NOT use your address for any other purpose. 
During our services, you can expect:
  • live music where we worship and praise God;
  • an opportunity to connect with God through prayer;
  • an occasion to give thanks to God through a gold coin donation we call “the love loaf” which supports our nine sponsor children;
  • a celebration meal called communion – which is a small ‘shot’ of grape juice and a small piece of unleavened bread – where we take time to remember the death, and resurrection of Jesus;
  • a chance to give financially to support the work of the local and global church;
  • a practical message on life and faith from the Bible (known as a sermon).
You are welcome to take part in as much or as little of the worship service as you like. There is no expectation for anyone to participate in any part of the service that you are not comfortable with. If you have any questions about why we do certain things, do not hesitate to ask.
Starting on August 4th 2024, we will be having a casual evening service starting at 5pm. It will contain all the same elements as the regular morning service, but with an emphasis on those who are unable to come along in the mornings. Sermons in this context will be in video format from respected pastors from around the world (with permission) followed by soup and rolls. If you have never been to church before, this will be a great place to start.
