Hillsong Church London

I used to go Hillsongs on and off in the mid 2000s! I loved… absolutely adored their worship albums from Australia. Darlene Zschech… Shout to The Lord! and all their classics! I love Hillsongs United which is the young people’s band.
So you can understand why my expectation were high. Hillsongs London worship is awesome! But it’s the rest of it, I’ve got a problems with, it’s all gilts and glam and hipterish but where is… GOD!!! Where is his presence… his spirit? No where to be seen or felt, which is no surprise to be honest because the majority of evangelical churches are like that!
The preaching I find bland. I don’t care if your church has ten people or seven hundred people, I don’t care if the wall paper is peeling off the wall or you got flashy lights… just allow God to be at his services, too much man control.
I went to one of the home groups, which I felt was more a supper club, than a home group.
Hillsongs London would have to do a 360 turn around for me to come back.

I was coming to London for work and once I found out there was a Hillsong church there, I knew I had to go visit it. I’ve bought lots of their worship CDs and absolutely love their music, so I couldn’t wait to get to go to one of their live services.
I went to their 7pm service that met at Theatre Royal. There were probably about 700 hundred people there and it was amazing. They had greeters and workers directing people in. They mentioned that this was the last time they would meet at Theatre Royal and they would be going back to meting at Dominion Theatre.
The service was amazing! They sung about 4 worship songs which were awesome and better than I imagined it would be. It was just so great to be in a place with hundreds of other people worshiping the Lord. The message was really good and they did something a little different. They went through the story of Esther, but had a video they played of it being acted out and then the pastor would talk after about 10 minutes of the video. And then the video would play again and so forth for about 30 – 40 minutes. I had never seen anything like it, but it was really cool and powerful.
At the end of service, they did a couple more worship songs and gave a call for people to give their lives to Christ, which many answered. it was just awesome. The people were nice, worship was awesome, and the speaking was powerful. If I go back to London, I definitely will be visiting Hillsong London again.

This is an amazing church. The music is always top notch, and the atmosphere is both comfortable and exciting. As a word of warning: this church is loud and the people are expressive. If that’s not what you’re used to, then you are in the right place, because something different is always worth experiencing, even if it’s not your norm.
Despite being a big church, it’s so easy to connect with people, with small groups running during the week. Just snag any of the dozens of people outside the auditorium wearing Hillsong shirts and they will fill you in.

Hillsong is not just a famous Christian band, and Hillsong church is not just a concert, it is so much more. The children’s service is very well organized and the kids had a blast. The adult service is electric, you can feel the Lords presence and everyone is welcoming and friendly. I only wish we could visit again. It is an amazing church where you just feel at home!

I am a fan.
I grew up in the states listening to Hillsong, and once in a blue moon they would make their way over and do a praise night with top names speaking like Louie Giglio. There was always an energy those nights that I thought were a result of an occasional experience as opposed to a repeated one.
I came to Hillsong London at the Dominion Theater once, and have been coming back ever since — and I must say that the energy is still here and it hasn’t died down at all. The worship is stellar and the messages are powerful. Moreover, the people are genuinely friendly and helpful and caring. To top it all off, it all takes place a very unique location.
My only gripe would be that after worship, they ask everyone that doesn’t have a seat to leave and come back for a later service. I don’t think I’ve ever been turned away from a church before — though I would say this is the closest it’s come. Every other church finds seats or pulls up chairs — but then again I guess this is a limitation of the venue, and not of the church. Moral of the story is to get there earlier!

There’s something about the energy at Hillsong that amazes me like none other. It is a huge church with four services open to the public on Sundays: morning service (11am), afternoon services (1:15pm and 3:30pm) and evening service (6pm). Walking in here was like walking into a concert. Worship is amazing, and sometimes they even have guest speakers from Hillsong Australia, pretty cool stuff. Definitely the best church to check out in London. :)

The worship here is awesome. If you love to worship God with some good music, then this is the place!!! Worship goes on for hours. Okay, like 1.5 hours.
I’ve been several times since being here in London and it’s always been 1 – 1.5 hours long of worship time, plus preaching, which is also can long.
I wasn’t a fan of the teaching a couple of the visits just because it was a lot of random tangents and not necessarily teaching straight from the scripture, but I think Hillsong’s teaching and preaching style is typically like this, anyway. I’m a bigger fan of the worship.
If you go on a holiday, they will more than likely have an awesome production. My husband and I were there for Easter and it was a HUGE HUGE HUGEEEE production. It was very nice to watch. Very long, but a good «show». I didn’t feel very convicted by it, but it felt more like a «show». I can tell they everyone put together a LOT of time and effort to make this happen. Everyone’s hearts was for something greater to happen.
As gina k. mentioned, they have tons of people groups with room for everyone.
**funny story!!! One of the services I went to, there was one man who came in late (me, too! I confess!). During the worship time, he was «feelin’» the music, if you know what I mean. He was a’dancin’, a’jumpin’, and a’praisin’ Jesus! During the preaching time, though, he started to fall asleep … and even snore! He had a REALLY REALLY LOUD and DEEP snore. I debated whether or not I should wake up this stranger since I’m sure everyone around me was wondering who was snoring, but … I didn’t. Would you want me to wake you up?!? haha. Sometimes, I think people come just for the worship, but I’m no judge. Everyone’s different I suppose. But… if only you could heard his really deep snore… =)

I just love going to church on Sundays. Come and say hallo to us at the coffee bar before 13h00 service or meet us for a picnic in the park after the service. I have made great friends since moving to London and just love the Sunday and midweek socials. Thnx loads :-)

I’m a stuffy ol’fuddy duddy when it comes to church. I’m used to my very traditional slow Presbyterian services. This ain’t yo momma’s church but it could be. Everyone is welcome here!
The church is alive with with people who want to serve the church and the people of the community. There’s lots to do at Hillsong, women’s groups, youth group, welcome teams, IT and video tech, or just come and for the message like I do.
Their ushers work throughout the entire service. If you’re late no one notices and everyone is so incredibly nice! Just go! 10:30am, 1pm, 3:30pm and 6pm on sundays. Be ready for an amazing service!

AMAZING is nothing short of the experience you will have at Hillsong London. The people are gracious and involved. The service is lifechanging. The message is moving. The praise and worship will change your heart.
If you like to sleep in on Sundays, you have plenty of options to make it to Hillsong: 10.30am, 1.00pm, 3.30pm and 6pm.
A number of buses go past including: 7, 8, 10, 14, 24, 25, 29, 55, 73, 98, 134, 176 and 390. The closest tube station is Tottenham Court Road (Northern and Central lines).
I would be at Hillsong Church each and every Sunday morning if I lived in London. It’s something you cannot miss!

Ganz klar eine der coolsten Kirchen in London wenn nicht Europa.
