In 1862 that Cheam Baptist Church was constituted and met in a cottage in Malden Road. In 1871, the site opposite was purchased for £100 and a chapel constructed on the site. This building is still standing today although it is no longer a chapel.
In 1905 the church moved 100 yards nearer the centre of Cheam Village to a prominent position at the junction of the Malden Road and Park Road and on the brow of the hill leading out of the Village towards North Cheam. It was a move from a village chapel to a suburban church. This remains the place of worship to this day, though an enlargement of the church did take place in 1938 / 39.
New halls were added in 1923 and are now used as a pre-school. Further halls were added in 1971 and are in regular use for prayer and study groups.
