About Our Church
Welcome to King’s Cross Methodist Church
King’s Cross Methodist Church is a diverse Christian community in the heart of central London, just moments from King’s Cross St Pancras.
We are part of the Methodist Church and worship together through English, Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking congregations. Whether you are exploring the Christian faith, new to London, looking for a church family or simply visiting, you are warmly welcome.
Our life together extends beyond Sunday worship. Through our ministries, children and youth groups, fellowship gatherings and community partnerships, we seek to share the love of Jesus and serve people in King’s Cross and beyond.
For generations, KXMC has provided a place of faith, friendship and welcome for local residents, students, migrants, visitors and people in need. Today, we continue that mission while preparing our church for the future.
Who We Are
King’s Cross Methodist Church is a Christian community situated in the heart of London. We seek to be a welcoming and hospitable church where people from different backgrounds, cultures and generations can worship God, grow in faith and find community.
Our church includes English, Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking congregations, reflecting the international character of King’s Cross and London itself.
Our doors are open to people at every stage of their journey of faith — whether you have been a Christian for many years, are exploring Christianity for the first time, or are simply looking for friendship and community.
We believe that faith should be expressed not only through Sunday worship, but also through practical care, hospitality and service.
Our mission is therefore to:
-
worship and grow together as followers of Jesus
-
welcome people from different cultures and backgrounds
-
nurture children, young people and families
-
support people experiencing hardship or isolation
-
provide space for community organisations and activities
-
serve the people of King’s Cross and the wider London community
Serving Our Community
Our calling extends well beyond Sunday services.
Over the years, KXMC has worked with community organisations to support people experiencing homelessness, addiction, loneliness and other forms of vulnerability.
Our community work has included a winter night shelter, support for people affected by gambling, activities addressing social isolation and partnerships serving vulnerable people in the King’s Cross area. Many community groups also use our church premises.
We seek to provide not only practical help, but also friendship, dignity, hospitality and a sense of belonging.
Our Church History
King's Cross Methodist Church has a long history. The church building dates back to 1824 and has undergone many changes over nearly two centuries, but our purpose remains unchanged — to glorify God, share the Gospel and serve the community in this busy transport hub.
Our Chinese ministry began in 1967 under Rev. Wong, who was sent from Hong Kong to establish a Chinese Students' Centre. Chinese-language worship began in 1975. The ministry returned to the present site in 1992 and continued to grow, expanding to other parts of the UK from 1995 and establishing new congregations.
