Christ the King
WELCOME to the Church of Christ the King Chingford, in Waltham Forest. Your virtual visit is most welcome. Our parish is a vibrant community, with a programme of worship. We serve parts of Walthamstow and Chingford, publishing a bi-weekly Newsletter. Fr Timothy Ezat , Priest of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham is our Parish Priest.
Wishing you and your family a peaceful and blessed New Year 2026. Now is a good time to resolve to deepen your faith by getting closer to the Lord or renew your faith if it has lapsed. Why not come to one of the weekend Masses? Where you will discover something much greater than you is constantly at work in your life.

Support the life and mission of our Parish
We remain grateful to those who have made donations, but the costs of the parish are more to run than the income it receives. Please prayerfully review your weekly contribution and commit to giving a regular amount each week or month direct from your bank account. You can set up a Standing Order yourself with online banking or contact us for a form for your bank. Stable and planned giving makes it possible for us to plan for the future and to be the church God calls us to be.
If you are a UK taxpayer, we can increase your donation by 25p for every £1 donated, by reclaiming the tax you have already paid on it from government under our Gift Aid Scheme; you can download a form to fill in or pick one up from the Church porch. It takes less than a minute to fill in. Even if you are not eligible to join the Gift Aid Scheme you can still set-up a Standing Order with your bank for regular giving.
Contactless card donations can be made at weekends at the Church. You still have the option to Gift Aid your donation and you only need to register once. You will still need to do this if you are an existing member of the Scheme and have a unique Gift Aid number. If you have any questions please contact the Parish Office.
