The Portico
The Portico extends Hyde Park’s mission with a different approach. The Portico is an entire city block in Tampa’s downtown. It includes a café social enterprise, spaces to meet and work on the 2nd and 3rd floors, a historic chapel, an event space, and a spiritual community. The Portico enhances the social, artistic, and spiritual fabric of Tampa through Conversation, Connection, and Community Change
CONVERSATION
A place where people can be unafraid to lower their guard, be authentic with each other, and talk about God in new ways.
CONNECTION
Breathing space amidst the noise and busyness of life, inviting connection to God and each other through silence and meditation.
COMMUNITY CHANGE
Engaging individuals in serving to make a difference in the community and the world.

The Portico also serves as a community gathering space committed to enhancing the social, artistic and spiritual fabric of Tampa through Conversation, Connection and Community Change.
The three-story-tall art mural “For Love of THIS City” at The Portico displays in vivid imagery and color the natural beauty, rich history and diverse communities of Tampa. The mural is a collaborative creation by Illsol – artists Michelle Sawyer and Tony Krol. View it on the south wall of the Branscomb Building, just north of the Henderson Chapel.
Innovative, creative worship experiences attract those looking for a less traditional approach to their faith. Community projects, a missional coffee shop, artist gatherings, porch parties and discussion are just a few of the offerings you will find in this community of open-minded and warm-heartened followers of Christ.
