About Us

Kensal Rise Baptist Tabernacle (KRBT) was founded in 1890. The founding
members, Baptists, initially met in a room above a shop on Harrow Road, near The Mason Arms, before moving to an iron chapel in 1891 and then to its current location. The church endured challenges like bomb damage during World War II when services temporarily moved to a local school. The first minister was Rev Arthur Bridge.

Over the past 133 years, KRBT has experienced God’s faithfulness amid complex challenges. The current church building was completed on 5 August 1995, with renovations completed in July 2011………

WHO WE ARE

We are God's people, passionate about his work for his glory alone. The above statement aims to capture three core areas of our corporate vision: identity, mission, and purpose.

WHAT WE DO

We are unashamedly God's people saved by the grace through the person and work of Jesus Christ. This grace qualifies and motivates us to share the gospel in our community to make disciples for God's glory.

WHY WE DO IT

Affirming God's glory as our sole goal means we desire to be a Christian family that finds our ultimate joy in him rather than pleasures in this world.
