Introducing KEC

Who we are

Kingston Evangelical Church (KEC) is a group of people who believe in Jesus Christ, as the only Saviour and Lord the world will ever have. We have come together as a local church to serve and worship God, to love Him and people and to bring Christ’s gospel to others. We cover a cross section of many different ages and backgrounds. We include people from a number of different nations, as well as many parts of the UK.

We recognise that here in the West, sadly, the Gospel is seen by many as culturally irrelevant or worse. But, we know that it is always relevant. So we believe that we must hold unswervingly to the never-changing Gospel in a way that people may see that it is relevant.

What happens on Sunday

The preaching and teaching of the word of God is at the heart of our worship services at 10.30am & 6.30pm every Sunday. We enjoy both traditional and some newer hymns and songs. We meet together occasionally for lunch following the morning service. This can be used as an evangelistic opportunity as well.

There is a Sunday School and child care for children, 0-11 years during the morning service. We enjoy the fellowship and participation of students from Hull University in the life of the Church and they enjoy Sunday lunch in the homes of KEC people! Once a month there is a service at Lake View Manor Residential Care Home.

Some events during the week

In addition to the weekly meeting for Bible study and prayer on Wednesday at 7.30pm, there are Bible/discipleship/evangelistic studies that go on periodically, meeting in homes or in the church. We believe that prayer is vital and so there are other prayer meetings often throughout the year. We also occasionally have joint meetings with other evangelical churches in the area. A young people’s group for 11+ meets at the Church on Tuesdays, 7.15-8.30pm.

Outreach

We seek to make the Gospel known through literature distribution and door-to-door visitation, evangelistic meals and services, our Holiday Bible Club and friendship evangelism. We believe in Christ’s call to make disciples of all nations and therefore support missionaries in other parts of the world and also enjoy hearing from missionaries at meetings throughout the year. Former KEC people are serving Christ in other lands.

A welcome from the Pastor

Whether you are a student looking for a church while at University, a life long resident of Hull or anywhere in between, we’d love to see you at any of our services. If you have any questions about the church or the Christian life, please feel free to contact me. My name is Dennis Hill. I have been the Pastor at KEC since September 2002. I began in ministry in New York City in 1988 and have been pastoring in Britain since 1992. My wife, June, is from Halifax, West Yorkshire. We have two school age children, Ruth and Daniel.
