Baptism & Membership at King's Church Chessington

At King’s Church, we believe both baptism and church membership are vital steps in your journey with Jesus. Baptism is an outward expression of your personal faith, while membership is your commitment to belong to the church family, mission, and community. Though they are distinct steps, both play a key role in helping you grow, connect, and serve alongside us.

Ready to take a step?

Baptism is a public declaration of a personal faith in Jesus and a commitment to follow him. It involves being immersed in water, symbolising a new beginning and a time of celebration, that you’ve been welcomed into God’s family! Ready to get baptised / become a Member of King's Church? We’d love to hear from you here.

Baptism & Membership FAQs

These are some of the common questions about baptism at King's Church.

Why should I be baptised?

When a person comes to understand the gospel personally and becomes a follower of Jesus, the Bible says they should be baptised (Matthew 28:19-20). Baptism itself does not make someone a Christian. It’s an outward expression of the inner work that God has done in them, when they trusted in Jesus as their Saviour.

When should I be baptised?

If you’ve heard the good news of Jesus and want to follow him; repented (turned away) from your old life without God and trusted in Jesus as your Saviour, it’s time to get baptised!

What happens at a baptism service?

Our baptism services are guest friendly so you can invite your friends and family to celebrate with you. Alongside the baptism itself, they’ll be singing, a short explanation of what baptism is, and one of our pastors will share a message from the bible for about 30 minutes.

There will be multiple people being baptised during the service and we tend to ask a few of them to come up on stage and share a bit about their journey to faith. There’s no pressure to do this, but it’s really encouraging to hear!

One of our pastors will be in the water to baptise you and we’ll make sure you have your towel to hand and a place to change into dry clothes. Baptism services are a special occasion and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

How do I become a Member?

If you’d like to make King's Church your home, we run a Membership course across 3 Sunday evenings, where we can get to know you and hear more about your story of faith as we share more of God's story through the life of King's Church. If you’d like to come to the next course, get in touch.

Why do you have Membership at King's Church?

When God calls us to himself, he also calls us to one another. We believe every Christian should belong to a local church. A bit like signing up to any group, church membership is signing up to say King's Church is your home church.

Pastor Mike would love to share about how God’s grace has shaped our church over the years and why we love inviting people into an ever-growing relationship with King Jesus.
