We are a diverse, multi-site church in South East London. We're gathering online every Sunday and have resumed some in-person services.
King's Church Online
We believe that church should be a place where we not only attend, but also belong, a place where no one stands alone. Connect with others, find friends and play your part.
SERVING
Find a group
Ask your questions and explore Christianity in a non-threatening, relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Sign up for Alpha
We believe in the declarations of Isaiah 61, and so seek to extend God’s love in practical ways to the hurting and helpless in our local communities through our social action ministries.
SOCIAL ACTION
PASTORAL CARE
OVERSEAS
Love Your Neighbour
Grow in faith and deepen your walk with God through our weekly sermon podcast and blog, and several worship albums with songs from members of King’s.
Latest Message
At King's we teach the biblical principle of stewardship. We believe that everything we have belongs to God and we are only looking after, or are stewards of, what He has given us.

An important update for everyone at King's
My friends, we are living through unprecedented days. The challenge of Coronavirus Covid-19 is going to affect every area of our lives for the next weeks and months, including how we do church.
Please watch this very important video message from me to find out about important changes that take place from today and this weekend. You can read a summary here.
