Serving Christ in Kilburn and Queen’s Park

West Kilburn Baptist Church has been in the heart of the Kilburn and Queen’s Park community for over 150 years. With a vibrant congregation made up of people from all nations, ages and backgrounds we invite you to join us.

This term our church is merging with Redeemer Queen’s Park, another local church which believes the same good news message of Jesus Christ. The two churches are coming together to continue the work of the gospel that’s been going on here for generations.

Our main gathering is on Sunday mornings at 11am and then we have an informal meeting on Sunday evenings at 6pm (please see the term card below). Visitors are always welcome! You can find out more about what to expect on a Sunday by clicking here, and more about activities midweek by clicking here.

Our church is a part of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches and you can find out more about what we believe on their website by clicking here.

What to expect on a Sunday

We have guests joining with us each week so if you come and visit you won’t be the only one. You can come as you are, there’s no dress code, or even “belief code” for coming along to one of our services. Everyone is welcome to join us. We meet at 11am on Sunday morning and there is a Sunday School for children under 11 and a creche for babies and pre-schoolers. We meet again on Sunday evenings at 6pm for a more informal service with corporate prayer, time for testimonies and questions.

Like every Christian church our services are made up of singing, praying, reading the Bible and listening to the Bible being preached. Afterwards there are refreshments and once a month we have lunch together.

We don’t pass a plate around or take up an offering as part of our service, because we know this can make guests feel uncomfortable. However we do believe that giving is an important part of the Christian life and encourage our church members to give regularly to support the ministry of the church. If you would like to make a donation you can do that by clicking below, or by using the Stewardship link in the menu above.

Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting

As a church we are absolutely convinced of the importance of praying together. That means our Wednesday evening prayer meeting is one of the most important meetings in the week. We start at 7.30pm in the church hall and meet for about an hour. Everyone is welcome to come along, whatever age, stage or however long you’ve been in the church. If you’re unable to make the prayer meeting in person we also run a Zoom prayer meeting at 6.30pm, for members who can’t get out, please get in touch for information on how to join that meeting if you’d like to.
