*************

Westminster Chapel is an evangelical free church in Westminster, central London. The church is in Buckingham Gate, on the corner of Castle Lane and opposite the junction with Petty France. Buckingham Gate is just off Victoria Street and near Buckingham Palace.

The church has had several notable pastors including G. Campbell Morgan (1904–17, 1933–43), John Henry Jowett (1918–22), Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1939–68), R. T. Kendall (1977–2002) and Greg Haslam (2002–16).

The congregation was formed in 1840 and its original chapel building was completed in Buckingham Gate in 1841. The congregation outgrew that building, so construction of a new chapel was begun in 1864. This building is the present chapel. It opened on 6 July 1865 and has capacity to seat about 1,500 people.[1]

Westminster Chapel has had four particularly well-known pastors: the Revd Samuel Martin (1842–78), G. Campbell Morgan (1904–17 and 1933–43), D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1939–68) and R. T. Kendall (1977–2002).

The chapel was founded as a Congregational church, but during the pastorate of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1939–68) the church left the Congregational Union and joined the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches (founded 1967) and the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches.

Prominent among the past deacons at Westminster Chapel have been Sir Fred Catherwood (1925–2014; son-in-law to Lloyd-Jones) and MJ "Monty" Micklewright (1897–1994).[2]

The reformed theologian John Murray also delievered a notable lecture here titled "The Heavenly, Priestly Activity of Christ" in 1958.[3]

During R. T. Kendall's pastorate, he led the church to adopt many emphases and practices of the Charismatic movement, despite the concerns of other church officers that these were contrary to the church's accepted reformed teachings.[4] The following pastor, Greg Haslam, was previously the pastor of Winchester Family Church, a Newfrontiers church, and continued this trend, introducing many of Newfrontiers' core values to the church.

In addition to the activities of the Chapel's own worshipping community, the Chapel is well known as a host venue for many Christian conferences and assemblies including, in the past, as a venue for the "May Meetings" of the Congregational Union of England and Wales.
