Christ Centered

It's Not About Man or Money

 

You would think every church is focused on Jesus, right? While that is our hope, often times people are disappointed to realize later that it's all about a man, or money, or some pet peeve version of faith being espoused.

 

We are intentional about our focus on Christ, so we enthrone Him in these specific ways because Revelation 5 says Jesus is the lamb at the center of the throne - no one else and nothing else.

 

1. We preach and teach the message Jesus preached and taught

 

Many people have believed in Jesus a long time but have no idea what His message was all about. They may know how to worship or believe God for finances, or even how to become a better person, but can be clueless about what Jesus preached, taught, lived as an example for us, and provided for us in His death and resurrection - the Kingdom of God.

 

2. We pattern our ministry after the church Jesus established in the Bible

 

God specifically told our founding pastor to look to the Bible for the pattern. God directed Him to utilize Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, and Revelation as the sole example of the church we are to be. For this reason, we make the pattern of ministry found in hte pages of the Bible as our guiding light in who we are to be and how we are to exist and make an impact in our culture.

 

3. We focus our ministry efforts on the things Jesus did in His church

 

Take a front row seat in Jesus' ministry and you'll see Him preaching the Kingdom, speaking God's truth, loving passionately, caring deeply, healing diseases, restoring brokenness, delivering captives, and investing Himself in disciples to carry on the legacy. These things that Jesus did in the Bible define our course of action in Christ the King.

 

4. We believe and receive the results Jesus had and promised we can have

 

Want forgiveness? Need change? How about healing, resotration, freedom, or a miracle from God? Want to grow in God's Word, discover and fulfill your God-given destiny? These amazing results that were experienced in Jesus' Church were not just for ancient people. These results are for people like you today. We beleive what Jesus said in Matthew 10, Luke 9, Matthew 28, John 17 and many other places, when He promised that His followers would carry on His minsitry to the ends of the earth. Here in Christ the King, the results of Christ are yours because He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The Holy Spirit

You Will Hear God's Voice

 

The Holy Spirit is God's gift to everyone who has a personal relationship with Jesus. We are a church that believes, teaches, and walks in the precious gift of the Holy Spirit, so your worship experience here will be quite different. Christ the king is infused with God's voice and His touch and activity in relaxed, friendly environment of passionate worship, prayer, and ministry.

 

Here in Christ the King, we simply allow the Sovereign King to be our Sovereign King. We pray and invite His activity in our worship gatherings and all that we do. We want God, more than anything, and this means the Holy Spirit.

 

We invite you to open yourself to the Lord, surrender to Him, and allow the Holy Spirit to touch your life. He will speak, encourage, and exalt Christ every time, and this is something to embrace because it is God's will for you.

 

1. Worship is Different

 

The Holy Spirit moves in our worship and people receive His touch in many ways. Some describe it as receiving peace, an answer to prayer, guidance, or feeling uplifted like a burden or weight was take off their shoulders. The Holy Spirit responds to our worship and praise and often heals, restores, and encourages people as they glorify God.

 

2. Prayer is Different

 

If you want to experience the beauty of the Holy Spirit in prayer, just ask someone here to pray for you. The Holy Spirit often has them pray exactly what is needed in your life at that moment, and sometimes has them pray for things you didn't know about but God wanted to minister to you. Jesus promises that when two or three gather in His name and agree in prayer, He is present and active, and He responds from heaven!

 

3. The Message is Different

 

The message you hear here is probably quite different than what you've heard before. This is simply because of the CHrist-centered appraoach and the freedom of the Holy Spirit to speak. People often report that things are preached that relate to exact things they are going through, talking about, or thinking about prior to being here. It's awesome to see God reach into our lives in such personal ways through His Word being preached.

 

4. The Impact is Different

 

Chrsit the King is a place where you can make real friends, experience real life change, and grow spiritually in expontential ways and become all God wants you to be. Join us!

A New Testament Church

Ancient Faith in Modern Culture

 

We seek to be the church of the Bible, plain and simple. We feel that the church Jesus started was good enough for Jesus and His disciples, it's good enough for us. We want our faith, walk with God, and church life to be like what the disciples had with the Lord thousands of years ago. We desire that the messages, ministry, activities, and results mimic what Christ did in Scripture with the original church in the New Testament.

 

This really defines a lot of things for us and sets us apart as a church. We simply desire to be real and authentic in being a church like the one Jesus started in the Bible.

 

1. New Testament Message & Ministry

 

The Message preached and taught here is the message Jesus preached. It always relates to and builds our lives today. The atmosphere and environment are also charged with prayer, faith, and the presence of God. This causes the ministry to have a major impact on the lives of those who visit, connect, and join.

 

2. New Testament Prayer & Results

 

Prayer for individuals and groups is common place because the early church was a praying church. On any given weekend, you'll find us seeking God through heartfelt and passionate prayer. As a result, healing, miracles, and answers to prayer are expected, believed for, and received as God reveals His love and power to us.

 

3. New Testament Change & Growth

 

Lives are transformed and changed in dramatic ways as God speaks, forgives, sets free, and gives new life. This personal change spills over into families and friends and places of employment too, as people change, grow, and become all God wants them to be in an environment of love, acceptance, and accountability.

 

4. New Testament Progress

 

God is glorified in all that takes place and His Word, Will, and Kingdom advance in inidivudal people, the community, and the wold. We are making progress for the glory of Christ the King.
