John Kennick, a disciple of John Wesley, was master of Wesley's Colliers' School Chapel in Kingswood in 1739. In 1741, with the support of George Whitefield, founded the Kingswood Tabernacle, a separate society based on Calvinistic principles. In about 1748, he and his followers were "dispossessed of the Tabernacle". They removed to temporary premises, then built a new chapel in 1756-7. The present chapel was built in 1856-7. Adjacent buildings may include the original chapel.
The congregation was joined in the 1992 by that of Kingswood's Whitefield Tabernacle ( the other side of Regent Street), thus becoming Kingswood United Church.
