Christ Church Kensington

Centred on Christ

Jesus has also done something amazing: he has won our forgiveness. None of us do trust or love God as we should and so we deserve to be condemned by him. But God sent Jesus to live the perfect life and then die on the cross to face that condemnation in our place. After three days Jesus rose again and he is now at work in the world, by his Spirit, gathering people back to his Father. Christ Church Kensington is a visible expression of his work.

So we want to be centred on him. We want to listen to him carefully, as he speaks to us through the Bible, and we want to connect him to every aspect of our lives.

Loving one another

Responding to Jesus means change: growing as individuals into his likeness and being knit together as his gathered people. As a church we embrace such change, even though it will be painful, and we are committed to helping one another through it: accepting, forgiving, walking with and praying for one another.

Practically this means that we talk about repentance and faith – always speaking in the first instance to ourselves – and want to learn to become more personal with one another. One way this often happens is through our various smaller groups.

Serving Kensington

Jesus gives to every church the mission of making disciples. So we want to be…

  • accessible to all: a church where anyone can find a warm welcome and a vision for life led by God.
  • servants to all: getting involved in practical and unglamorous ways to help people.
  • messengers to all: giving people as many opportunities as possible to engage with Jesus’ message.

What's on

11am Service

Every Sunday at for 1 hour
Christ Church Kensington
Kensington, W8 5RQ, United Kingdom

Our morning service leans towards the traditional without being formal.
We meet as a wonderful mix of ages and stages to hear God’s word taught, to sing his praises, to pray for the needs of the church family and the world, and to encourage one another.

At the service’s heart is the reading and preaching of the Bible, thoughtfully and carefully applied to our lives. The service also draws on the Book of Common Prayer and has music led by organ and choir to a high standard.

We strive to make every aspect of the service unpretentious and accessible to all. We think that even if you have never been to church before, you will be able to engage without embarrassment.

There is an outstanding children’s programme for 0s to 11s, run within the church building, with the children leaving partway through the service.

The service lasts for an hour. Afterwards we serve tea and coffee, and also run informal games for the children, so that parents are free to chat with others. About once a month we serve lunch (£2.50) – you can sign up for that through the calendar.
