The Portico is a missional community that exists to make God’s love real through conversation, connection, and community change. That mission is at the core of everything we do. From our spiritual community, to our cafe, to our coworking and event spaces, to our many initiatives, we are enhancing the social, artistic, and spiritual fabric of Tampa. The Portico spiritual community is a non-conventional church whose mission is to make God’s love real through spiritual gatherings and practices. Our church is a unique expression of fellowship and worship, where everyone is welcome and questions, diversity, and the search for meaning are celebrated. Our service, the 1001 Gathering, meets every Sunday at 10:01 am, and our small groups (called Joe Groups) meet throughout the week. We are a community of Hyde Park United Methodist. Our social enterprise, The Portico Cafe, offers people transitioning from homelessness, addiction, and incarceration job training, employment ladders, and connections to safe, affordable housing. The cafe is open from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm every Tuesday through Friday and is the perfect place to grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat in our convenient downtown location. The Portico is also home to several event and coworking spaces available to rent. Whether you are looking to host a business meeting, a dinner celebration, or even a wedding, The Portico has a space for you. Visit our website for booking information. The Portico missional outreach initiatives include our community breakfast, which is a weekly meal for those experiencing hunger or homelessness, and Portico Housing Solutions, a separate 501(c)3 which houses 6 single, working men who are transitioning out of homelessness. At The Portico, we believe in the power of spiritual practices. That’s why we host regular art, meditation, and yoga groups that meet throughout the week.

Part of our mission at The Portico is to inspire conversation, connection and community change. We not only achieve that mission within our organization but also through the groups we host on campus. C12 of Tampabay has been a long time client inspiring business owners to lead their businesses with Christian principles. By hosting four meetings each month, C12 makes it possible for us to continue our mission of bridging people from brokenness to restoration by providing employment opportunities and training.

We had an encouraging, interactive and engaging meeting with our Tampa CEOs group! We reviewed the characteristics of all the major generations in the workforce today and discussed how to create a workplace that engages each generation. We also discussed the important topic of how purpose can unlock engagement—particularly among younger workers. By understanding each generation’s work-life preferences, and what they want from their career, we can unleash the full potential of all employees and maximize the benefits of a diverse workforce in our businesses. #generations #c12
Did you know that in addition to our delicious coffee and sandwiches we also have multiple space available for meetings and events?

As we approach the season of giving, I wanted to share an incredible opportunity to make a meaningful difference while spreading joy. We invite you to participate in this transformative journey this season by purchasing our thoughtfully curated gift baskets. Every purchase directly contributes to sustaining our mission and provides tangible support for individuals rebuilding their lives. Read an inspirational story about our newest employee, Wiley, and how The Portico Café has impacted his journey to recovery below. Wiley started using drugs at the young age of 13 and has struggled with addiction most of his adult life. This led him in and out of rehab multiple times. Aiming to be reunited with his children, he enrolled in treatment to get his life back on track and become the father his girls deserved. While in treatment, he participated in our Café Training program and fell in love with the family-like atmosphere and supportive community he found here. In September, an opportunity for permanent employment opened up, and we were eager to welcome Wiley onto the team! Wiley has been a great addition to our team. He has assisted with making our kitchen more efficient by bringing a wealth of cooking experience. Since being employed at the cafe he has completed treatment, secured an apartment, and is very close to being reunified with his children. Your decision to purchase a gift basket from The Portico isn't just about the items inside; it's a statement of support for empowerment and second chances. It symbolizes hope for a brighter future for those who need it most. Our beautiful Christmas Gift Baskets are available on our website or in person at the café Tuesday-Friday, 8 am- 2 pm. You will also have the opportunity to purchase gift baskets on Sunday mornings at our Hyde Park Campus.
