Story so far

As a movement newfrontiers is committed to starting churches across the world. As part of this process churches across the UK began praying for the city of Hull. A number of people from across the newfrontiers family of churches felt God calling them to the city of Hull to help start a church under the leadership Steve and Jo Whittington.

People began moving from all over the UK, from as far afield as Brighton, Kent and Teesside to plant with them. In September 2006 twenty-five adults and children gathered in a small church hall to launch what was to become Jubilee Church Hull.

Over the next few months the church grew rapidly, with many people becoming Christians, and the once small group was forced to move across the road from its original home to a larger venue, called The Octagon. For the next 18 months Jubilee Church met there, growing in size and influence with a multicultural flavour. This included Steve Whittington and Matt Weedall becoming elders, and the church establishing itself as a legal charity and company.

In August 2008 we moved to our own building, Jubilee House, given to us by Walton Street Brethren Church. The church now numbers well over 100, and is still growing. We have established mid-week small groups, an Alpha course, English classes, a coffee morning, youth and student groups, as well as our Sunday morning meetings, weekly and monthly prayer meetings.

In February 2009 we launched an evening meeting at 6.30pm every Sunday to allow for further growth.

In September 2009 John Flavell became an Elder and work started on improving Jubilee House with funding from charitable trusts and generous giving from Jubilee Church members.

Due to limitations of our building size and our ongoing growth we are currently looking to purchase a larger property within easy reach of Hull City Centre.
