Kew Baptist Church
The Residence was established in 1962 by the Kew Baptist Church. It is governed by a committee of management elected by the Kew Baptist Student Hostel Association (KBSHA). However, it remains as a ministry of the Church and we continue to work together closely. As residents you are more than welcome to participate in the life of the Church if you would like. Sundays look like this:
​
-
10am All ages Service - Newnham Hall
-
5:30pm Young Adult focus - The Chapel
Feel free to join the KBC Online Community facebook page to keep up with what’s happening. The Church has a broad range of activities that you are most welcome to join in with including; small groups, service activities, social outings etc.
Of course, there is no obligation to attend the Church! Even if Church is not your thing, we do encourage each person to be open to exploring the spiritual dimension of life and this may be something that happens within a number of different contexts.
