The Hill Church in Swansea

We are The Hill Church in Swansea. Jesus was for the last, lowest, lost and least. Sometimes we all feel more like we are losing than winning. Sometimes we can act like hypocrites, cowards and fools rather than genuine, courageous and wise. We are desperate for the way, the truth and the life in a world full of shortcuts, deception and death. We find hope and purpose in Jesus and we try and do the things he asked us to do.

The Beautiful Losers

We don't have it all sorted and we don't have all the answers. We are not self sufficient autonomous individuals, we are a group of people (that's what 'church' actually means) sharing stuff, learning from one-another, doing life together and trying to figure out what it means to follow Jesus in the 21st Century. We believe life is beautiful, and losers are transformed when we get to know him.

Based in Swansea

We meet regularly on a Sunday
between 4pm and 6pm (with the occasional time change) at Bethel URC, Sketty Park Road, Swansea, SA2. Check the diary for details.

Connection Groups

We currently have one Connection group at The Hill, but our aim is to fill our city with them. No group will be the same. We don't define these groups by an area of Swansea or when we might meet, but firstly by friendship. We conspire to spread the passion of loving God, loving people, and following Jesus. We chat, drink, eat and help each other. If you want to meet some of us please email

Doing not Just Talking

We are up for living life not just surviving or avoiding it. We are trying to form an alternative culture to the dominant culture. We are not interested in controlling people or their money. But we do want to create a culture based on grace, good news, generosity and other positive values - we've outlined a few of them below.

Jesus

Numerous people have an opinion of Jesus. We see this through popular writing, songs and art. Some times people say they are doing his will when they are doing terrible things. Ultimately we are interested in the genuine Jesus - one that died on a wooden cross and then defeated death. One who is liberating and for losers. He is real, unique and has a life-changing message of hope. What do you think about Jesus?

Grace

History is about the spectacular display of the riches of God's goodness, kindness, love, patience and mercy - with the main point being the display of His grace (his undeserved love and kindness) towards us through Jesus Christ. We aim to explain and example that kind of grace in everything we are and do.

Gospel

This an old word meaning world-changing good news. In our case it is the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This truth, and the consequences of it are the best thing we can tell anyone anywhere. It is the foundation upon which we build.

Gifts

The Bible makes it very clear that the church is healthier when people are using their talents and skills for the good of one another. We aim to discover and build using these God-given gifts.

Generosity

We have been given an abundance of grace through the gospel, and through the gifts. How then can we not be generous in using them for the benefit of others? We want to build with the attitude it is better to give than receive in all aspects of life.

Growth

God is interested in growth, both seen and unseen. We have an expectation of Him working positive change in everything - from the number of people who belong, believe and contribute, but also right to the heart of our attitude and outlook.
