Becoming Part of the Family
Becoming part of the family is a commitment that says I'm 'all in' with the King’s Church family, under the leadership of the elders and the lead pastor.
The mission of King’s Church is that we would all Prioritise the Presence of God, be Transformed into the likeness of Jesus, and partner with the Holy Spirit on His Mission to Portsmouth and the world.
The Bible teaches that God welcomes everyone and places the lonely in families (Psalm 68:6) and He does so because we were not made to live life on our own (Genesis 2:18). It’s by being family together and loving each other that we show the world the love of God (John 13:35) and it’s through our church family (both local and global) that we are able to share the love of Jesus with the world. We are found by God, but formed in family.
The invitation is, to all of those who understand our mission and who want to partner with us to see it happen, to take a step towards being part of the family, so that we can share our lives, be accountable and commit together to putting God first, walking daily with Jesus and carrying His presence out into the world!
Our commitment as your Church family:
As Elders, in our responsibility as spiritual leaders, our commitment to you as the King’s Church family is to…
Create opportunities to prioritise the Presence of God. We will learn and grow together to be Transformed into the likeness of Jesus and we will be equipped and empowered by the Holy Spirit to go out on Mission wherever God has placed us.
Ensure the faithful preaching of God’s word, through many and varied opportunities to develop greater understanding of scripture and deeper relationship with God.
Make a large church feel small, providing opportunities for all to connect and build friendships, be cared for and equipped in discipleship through teams, life groups, prayer and pastoral care.
Keep you well informed, inviting you into the journey of where the church is going through regular transparent communication and an invitation to the Annual General Meeting for updates regarding finances and vision.
Welcome those who are new and honour those sent out.

Our next Alpha Course launches the 27th of January, 2027!
Join the conversation!
Alpha is a series of weekly sessions where you can explore life’s big questions
and the Christian faith in an open-minded and welcoming environment.
There’s no cost, and no pressure... just lots of great conversation and space to think.
Each session includes a short video and time of discussion where you can
share your thoughts about what you’ve heard.
Alpha is an invitation to step outside of your routine and join the conversation.
