Welcome to Kington Baptist Church!
We are a small, friendly congregation, we love and trust the Lord Jesus Christ, believe his Word and with his help aim to live for him in love and service.
Kington is a market town in one of the most beautiful areas of the UK, on the England-Mid-Wales border. Kington Baptist Church has maintained a witness to God's grace in the gospel since 1809. And, trusting in Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, we are determined to continue our witness.
We are a friendly, welcoming company of believers; from a variety of backgrounds, life experiences and ages, sharing a common faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. We hold the Bible to be God's inspired and authoritative written Word and Jesus Christ as God's living Word.
We meet at 10.45 each Sunday morning. Our services are friendly, simple and short followed by tea and coffee and an opportunity to chat.
We promise you a warm welcome when you visit us.
Psalm 122.1
The Wall Text Above the Pulpit in Kington Baptist Church
This is the verse of Scripture facing us as we meet to worship. It was painted on the wall behind the pulpit many years ago and is still in pristine condition. We are not sure exactly when it was placed there or by whom. We'd be delighted to know more about those details. It would be difficult to find a more appropriate Scripture to have before us as we meet in the Lord's name. The wonder of God's grace! - as these words expressed the desire of the Psalmist as he anticipated meeting with the Lord's people, to worship in the Lord's house, so these words express our desire too as we meet in the Lord's name and with his people. 'Jesus, where'er Thy people meet, there they behold Thy mercy-seat'!...
AN IMPORTANT NOTICE January 2026
Our Church Building
We faced an estimated cost for urgent repairs and vital improvements to our building of at least £400,000.
It was our unanimous decision, made after much prayer, advice and consideration, to sell the building. We are convinced this is God's will as he leads us into new and exciting opportunities for this Church, a company of God's people he has singularly blessed since its formation in 1809. Relying on the leading and provision of the Lord Jesus Christ, the head of the Church, we are determined to continue the ministry and mission he commissioned us to fulfil. We are at present praying and looking for a temporary home for our services. As soon as that is settled we will post the details here.
We are very grateful for the help and support we have been given, following this announcement, from the people of the Kington churches of St Mary's and St Bede's.
