ABOUT
US
|
|
|
We
are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America (ELCA).
Christ
the King is a relatively young congregation
celebrating over twenty years together in
Christ. We have over a thousand members,
a lead pastor and a gifted team of paid
and volunteer staff serving God together.
At
Christ the King we worship God in a variety
of musical languages. One Sunday a month
we have a service called Praise Worship
with contemporary music. Another
Sunday a month we worship God with folk
songs and guitars. The other Sundays
of the month are more traditional.
Our
Saturday services are less formal and
more experimental. Using a variety of musical
styles we worship God and celebrate the
Lord's Supper each week. We appreciate our
tradition while exploring new ways to worship
God, too.
We
hope that you will join us for worship
and other events. We invite you to visit
and become a part of this community of faith.We
would love to share with you about our church.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Values
of our Congregation
The
congregation has worked together to compile this
list of values.
We
continue to be a mission congregation, open to
all people, where God is growing gracious followers
of Jesus. During the year we have talked about
our core values as a congregation. These values
keep surfacing.
- Christ
is our King and Lord.
- Christ
the King is a congregation made of
a very diverse group of people. Some have
a deep spiritual history and others are new
to the faith. Some are conservative and others
are liberal. Our shared confession that Christ
is our Lord holds us together as a community
of faith. Our congregation seeks to be Christ
centered and Gospel driven.
- We
are committed to being open to all people.
- God’s
Spirit invited us and called God’s children
to welcome us. Therefore we also seek to be
an inviting and welcoming community, so that
all might find forgiveness, healing and wholeness
in Jesus.
- We
are all called to be growing Christians.
- We
are called by God’s Spirit grow deeper
in faith, hope and love. At the same time we
are called to be supportive of all those who
God has called to join us in this journey of
Christian growth. Whether young or old, we all
have more to learn about our God, our faith,
ourselves and our world. We seek to be as faithful
and effective as possible in passing on the
gift of faith we have received and living the
faith that has found us.
- All
the baptized are God’s gifted ministers
and important members of Christ the King’s
ministry team.
- As
a community of faith we are called to help people
identify, explore and develop their gifts. Stewardship
has to do with taking care of, developing and
sharing all the gifts God has given to us. Stewardship
has to do with all of life, not just the church.
- Our
faith informs and shapes our everyday life.
- As
practicing Christians we are not perfect, and
yet God has chosen us and chosen to work through
our lives and callings in everyday life.
- God
longs to grow us deeper in community with one
another.
- God
has called us to share our lives, our joys and
our sorrows with one another. Through a variety
of strategies we seek to deepen our relationships
to one another.
- Jesus
calls us to love children and all people.
- God
has given us the opportunity to touch many young
people and their families. All of us are called
to be youth ministers. We are also called to
care for one another across the generations.
- We
worship God and our Lord Jesus with a variety
of languages and styles.
- The
diversity of our worship is built on the deep
traditions of God’s people, but celebrates
the creativity and diversity of God’s Spirit
work in our time.
- We
love people in the midst of tragedy and crisis.
- Because
of this congregation’s history we have
a special place in our heart for those in crisis
or tragedy.
- All
people are precious children of God. In a year,
which included wrestling with genetic engineering,
the beginning of a recession and the sudden
shock of the Sept. 11th disaster, we have been
reminded to not take this value for granted.
