OUR PURPOSE

The purpose of this congregation is to worship God and, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to lovingly share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all persons.

WE ARE EPC
Christ the King is an Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

We are "Evangelical", we have a heart for those who do not know about the saving grace and life changing power of Jesus. Therefore we are passionate about sharing the good news of Christ with everyone.

We are "Presbyterian" because we are part of Christian history and faith that dates back to the early 1500s during the Reformation. But we base our roots from the Bible in the book of Acts and the foundations established by the apostles in the early church. We are also connected to 190 other churches across the country and abroad, all who share the same beliefs and mission for serving God.

We are a "Church". Our purpose is to give God all the glory and praise He deserves. So we love one another like a family, worship God regularly together, study the Bible as the Word of God, and invite everyone to come join us.

OUR MISSION

CTK is a Christian community that believes the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and in obedience, shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ, worships the triune God, nurtures relationships with each other, and equips its members for victorious Christian living and service.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe in one God, the sovereign Creator and Sustainer of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him are all honor, glory and praise forever!

Jesus Christ, the living Word became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. He who is true God became true man united in one Person forever. He died on the cross a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. On the third day He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He now is our High Priest and Mediator.

The Holy Spirit has come to glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to our hearts. He convicts us of sin and draws us to the Savior. Indwelling our hearts, He gives new life to us, empowers and imparts gifts to us for service. He instructs and guides us into all truth, and seals us for the day of redemption.

Being estranged from God and condemned by our sinfulness, our salvation is wholly dependent upon the work of God's free grace. God credits His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justifies them in His sight. Only such as are born of the Holy Spirit and receive Jesus Christ become children of God and heirs of eternal life.

The true Church is composed of all persons who, through saving faith in Jesus Christ and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, are united together in the body of Christ. The Church finds her visible, yet imperfect, expression in local congregations where the Word of God is preached in its purity and the sacraments are administered in their integrity; where scriptural discipline is practiced, and where loving fellowship is maintained. For her perfecting, she awaits the return of her Lord.

Jesus Christ will come again to the earth -- personally, visibly, and bodily -- to judge the living and the dead, and to consummate history and the eternal plan of God. "Even so, come Lord Jesus." (Revelation 22:20).

The Lord Jesus Christ commands all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to make disciples of all nations. Obedience to the Great Commission requires total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us." He calls us to a life of self-denying love and service. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10).

These Essentials are set forth in greater detail in the Westminster Confession of Faith, which is foundational to Reformed Theology and the Presbyterian form of church government.
