What times are your services?
We worship at 9am on Sundays mornings throughout the year with a fellowship hour following. During the school year, Sunday School is held at 10:15am on Sundays. Adult Education opportunities are often held throughout the year following worship.
What styles of worship do you have?
Christ the King embraces many different worship and music styles, all while staying true to our Lutheran roots. A more traditional service with communion is held on the first, third and fifth Sundays of the month. One the second and fourth Sundays of the month the King’s House Band plays a variety music selections to enhance worship. (The schedule changes a bit during the summers.)
Is there child care available?
Christ the King offers a nursery that all can use, but we do not have an attendant. This is because most families bring their children to worship, and we welcome children whole-heartedly! We also have blue “quiet bags” in the narthex for your children to use during worship.
Do I have to dress up?
No! There is no dress code at Christ the King. We welcome you as you are. You’ll see people wearing all different styles of clothing here.
