Gift Day 2024

We're counting down to the 40th birthday of King’s, which marks a whole generation of life that has taken place in and around us. Through our April 2024 Gift Day we continue our plans to make the King’s Centre fit for purpose for the next generation — to make it our home for the next 40 years.

Alpha

Starts Wednesday 24th April, 7:30pm, King's Centre

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It’s relaxed, low key, friendly and fun.

Our Alpha course is a series of nine evenings. At the beginning of each evening a free meal is served, giving you a chance to get to know others, relax and enjoy yourself.

Then there’s a talk, addressing key issues like ‘Who is Jesus?’ ‘What happens when we die?’ and ‘What about suffering?’

And then there’s an opportunity to discuss what you’ve heard, share your views, and ask anything you like. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.

If you would like to find out more, visit our Alpha page or you can sign up here.

Joining the Church Family

Starts Sunday 28th April, 12:15pm, King's Centre

Are you new to King's? Have you been watching us online or in-person on a Sunday or have you joined one of our midweek groups and been wondering where you fit in the life of the church?

Our Joining the Church Family sessions are for those who want to dig a bit deeper into what's important to us as a church. Over 6-weeks we'll take a look at our key values, vision and culture and how you can become a member of the King's Church family. This time will give you the opportunity to get to know some of the leadership team, and help you find your place here with us, getting caught up in God's unfolding story for you and the church. Sign up here.

Come and join us at Sovereign Harbour Community Centre where the church meets at 10am every Sunday.
