Direct peers

• Hillsong Church (London): Major charismatic evangelical church with a London presence that runs multi-site services, worship production, and global course-style discipleship programs.

• St Mellitus College: Theological education institution in the Church of England that trains ordination candidates and lay leaders. HTB's St Paul's Theological Centre operates in partnership with St Mellitus, and the two share overlapping leadership pipelines and student bodies (430+ enrolled).
• Alpha International: The global ministry organization that runs the Alpha course originated at HTB in 1977. While part of the HTB Group, Alpha International operates independently with a global footprint (169 countries) and is the closest functional peer in content distribution and evangelism training.
• Soul Survivor: UK-wide charismatic evangelical movement that runs conferences, church networks, and youth-focused programs. Directly comparable as a younger-generation evangelical network with strong events-based programming and worship culture overlap with HTB.
• New Wine: UK network of charismatic evangelical churches that runs conferences, leadership development, and church planting initiatives. Comparable to HTB Network's church planting emphasis, multi-church affiliation model, and summer conference programming.

Emerging players
