The celebration of Pentecost commemorates the birth of the Christian church, following Christ’s resurrection from the dead and ascension into heaven.

Before the Ascension, Christ promised His disciples that He would always be with them, promising that after He left He would send them a helper to guide and assist them in the work He had left for them to carry on, a guide He called His “Holy Spirit”.

On the day of Pentecost, ten days after the Ascension, the gathered disciples experienced the in-filling of this Holy Spirit, and were granted Its gifts, brought from the throne room of God. The apostles began to preach the Gospel in the languages spoken by those gathered around them, tongues previously unknown to them. About 3,000 people were converted and baptised that day.

“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:2-4 NKJV)

This is why Pentecost is often called "the birthday of the Church". On this day, with the arrival of the Holy Spirit, Christ's mission was completed, and the New Covenant evoked.

Pentecost Sunday falls this year on Sunday 23rd of May. On Friday 21st May, Jesus House will be gathering with two other churches (Hillsong & Holy Trinity Brompton) at HMV Hammersmith Apollo, uniting in the city of London for Pentecost.

The festival is open to people of all faiths and even those of no faith. We encourage you to join in the celebrations, and also to invite people from different backgrounds across London and the UK. Everyone is welcome as we gather to celebrate life in the Spirit.

Join 5,000 people for this historic and spectacular night of worship and prayer, as we celebrate the anniversary of a covenant that has lived on and continues to change the world today, as we pray for an impartation of that same spirit upon all in the United Kingdom.
