Its first service in 1988, held in a house, was attended by nine people.[2]
In 2006, the congregation moved into its new, £7m, 84,000sq ft building, which in addition to meeting rooms, offices, kitchen facilities and children's rooms, contains an auditorium which will eventually seat 1,800 people.[3]
KingsGate Community Church has four centres. In September 2010, KingsGate launched a new centre in Cambridge.[4][5][6] In February 2014, KingsGate launched a new centre in Leicester.[7] In October 2018, KingsGate launched their fourth centre in London which closed in Covid. They now also have an online campus.[8]
