We use the Lutheran Service Book's Divine Services for liturgy. This is reminiscent of Catholic Mass. Music is lead by the Organist and a Cantor.
Adult Bible Study located in the Youth Room.
Children's Sunday School focuses on teachings for grades K-5 utilizing basic stories of the Bible. It is located in the CtK preschool rooms located straight a head of you when you come into the preschool play yard. There will be a teacher there to welcome you and help you check in. The nursery room and play yard will be available for families with younger children to play.
This service is more of a contemporary service. Music is lead by our Praise band.
We welcome children to be a part of all our services. We have a children's sermon and children's bulletins at both services.
At our 10:30 service for families with infants to 5 years of age, we offer nursery during the whole service if needed but we encourage you to have your children join us for the whole service so they can grow and worship with the their church family. If you really need to be in nursery we ask that you partake in Children's Sermon prior to exiting.
Our unofficial "Cry Room" is outside on the playground for those children needing to get out some energy. We are happy to have a tv outside so you can still partake in the service.
Christ the King is a Christ-centered church growing in faith by serving individuals, families, and our local community.
Christ the King is a part of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS), with deep roots in the Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, and Conejo Valley communities. We seek to draw people into an ever-deepening relationship with God and one another, within the body of Christ. Our services are full of praise through the Organist and Cantor, and the Praise band as a response to God's blessing. Our teaching is scripturally based to address today’s world and challenging to the growth of our spiritual walks as forgiven followers of Jesus Christ. We seek to be active in demonstrating Christ’s love to everyone, through acts of love and service. That’s why, at Christ the King, we strive to Love God, Love People, and Serve the Community. We invite you to come worship with us!
