Bringing hope into our communities.
At King’s our desire is to bring hope, freedom and support to our local community and facilitate positive change in the lives of those around us.
“Hi, I’m Helen and I oversee our community groups. Here at King’s our heart is to reach out in love and mercy to the community around us, following the example of Jesus who showed compassion, welcome, and cared deeply for those on the margins.
We welcome people from a wide range of ages, cultures and backgrounds to the groups running during the week, and we would love to welcome you! Do take a look at our regular activities below or get in touch for more information.”
