OUR STORY
Christ the King was founded in 1985 by the Reverend John W. McVicker, Sr., and his wife, Marilynn McVicker in Milwaukee, WI.
For 38 years, CTK has been dedicated to promoting the Kingdom of God through spirit-filled worship, dynamic preaching, and biblical teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What began as a small gathering of all thirty-nine members has become a global movement of people passionately following Jesus.
In addition, we offer services to meet your physical, mental, and spiritual needs. Our facilities include a church, school, quality of life center, and credit union. With over 35 ministries and dedicated members, CTK remains a shining light in our community and around the world. We are committed to helping people find new life in Christ, learn the power of the word of God, experience God's power, and understand the principles of faith. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, CTK welcomes you.
Our Beliefs
THE HOLY TRINITY
We believe that God is the Creator of everything and that he exists eternally in three persons: Father (God), Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy Spirit.
SALVATION
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
THE SON OF GOD
We believe in the divine nature of Jesus Christ, God’s only Son. Jesus Christ is both fully man and fully God. He was crucified, died and buried as a sacrifice for the sins of all men and women everywhere. Christ rose from the dead and ascended into heaven for all people to have eternal life.
PRAYER
Jesus said "my house shall be called the house prayer." Prayer is our ability to communicate with God. Through Jesus’ salvation, we no longer need an intercessor to go between God and us; we can address Him directly. We believe that no monumental thing can be done without prayer preceding it and continuing through it.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit as the person of the Holy Trinity who lives within us, giving us the power to live a holy life and guiding us to truth.
BAPTISM
Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, baptism is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ. It is also a step of obedience based on God’s commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted himself to baptism to “fulfill all righteousness.”
SCRIPTURE
The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It a true and fully accurate account of God’s love for us. Its purpose is to teach us how to have a relationship with him, worship him, and bring him glory.
COMMUNION
Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, baptism is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ. It is also a step of obedience based on God’s commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted himself to baptism to “fulfill all righteousness.”
