Alpha
Whether you've been following Jesus for a long time, are new to faith, or are just curious about God, you likely have questions about it all. Alpha is a place where you can bring your questions and learn (or relearn) the foundations of the Christian faith in an open and friendly environment. Everyone is welcome, no matter your background or beliefs.
Join us for 8 Thursday evenings this spring as we eat dinner together and jump into the questions we all have about Jesus and what it means to follow him. Invite a friend to join you. Open to high school age and older. We hope to see you there!
Childcare available for 5th grade and younger only with RSVP by Tuesday, April 22. Childcare will only be available if enough kids are registered. RSVP Here
If you've been around CTK for a long time, you've probably heard of Alpha, and you might think it's just for people exploring faith or newly following Jesus. But Alpha is so much more than that! If you've known Jesus for years but you're unsure of your ability to answer questions about faith or the Bible, participating in Alpha could give you the confidence boost you need to share Jesus with courage and compassion.
Women
We are ordinary women from all walks of life. Some of us have a passion to know and love God deeper. Others are just exploring this whole "God thing." Young or old; daughters, moms, grandmothers; married, divorced or single, working inside the home or out - there is a seat at the table for you. The Women's Ministry has several opportunities for you to connect - small groups, mentoring, serving, and more. Contact Julie to learn more.

A $2 donation for lunch is appreciated. Questions? Contact Pastor Tyler Forney.
Small Groups/Table Groups
This past fall we launched a new type of small group called Table Groups. As we learn what it looks like to make space for other people in our lives, Table Groups are a way for people to pull up a chair and find their place. Table Groups will be centered around sharing meals, praying, growing, and serving together. They bring together 10 to 15 people who live in the same part of the county who'll love and support each other in practical ways as they also find ways to serve those around them. We believe we are most formed like Jesus in community, and we'd love to give you a seat at the table.

The Art & Science of Love
Looking for practical principles and research-based methods to connect deeper, understand better, and navigate conflict? The Art & Science of Love is based on the book 7 Principles of Making Marriage work and more than 20 years of research conducted at the University of Washington. John Gottman is considered one of the leading marriage experts in the world. This self-paced online workshop can help couples just starting, needing a refresh, or even those who feel on the verge of giving up. Please note this is excellent research-based help, but it is not faith-based. Some opinions expressed are not shared by Christ the King Community Church. This online workshop can also be an excellent resource for couples where one or both spouses are not believers.
Reconnect
Sometimes the challenge we face in marriage is rooted in hurts and coping skills that began before the couple ever meets. In his book Reconnect, Dr. Call explains that when we become aware of the myriad of factors that contribute to disconnection, we can develop new understanding and strategies that promote deeper connection and healing interaction.

Wedding Officiating
Congratulations if you've recently become engaged! Marriage is God's good idea to join a husband and a wife for a lifetime. Did you know premarital counseling or classes can reduce the chances of divorce by 31%? Since your marriage is the most important human relationship you'll ever have, CTK requires premarital counseling before your wedding. Plus, we regularly offer couples' classes and workshops. Talk to your officiant for more information.
The following CTK pastors may be available to perform weddings: Ryan Ervin, Melonie Kemp, Wendy Powell, Brian Behrends, Angel Finsrud, Julie Burleson, Josh Lease, Carrie Butler, Duane Weaver, and Jake Hruza. Please fill out this Wedding Officiant Request Form if you would like any of these pastors to perform your wedding. Officiating includes 1–2 meetings with the pastor for ceremony planning, rehearsal, wedding ceremony, and filing your marriage documents. Pastoral fees vary. Please note: our pastors require couples to engage in premarital preparation. If you are looking for suggestions or referrals, we would be happy to assist you. Please contact Erin with questions.
Using a CTK Facility
If you would like to use Christ the King Church facilities for your wedding, please fill out a Building Use Request, and someone will follow up with you shortly!
Recovery
Living in a broken world we all deal with life’s hurts, hang-ups, and habits. No one has the ability, nor should they attempt to face their hurts on their own. Celebrate Recovery is a beautiful community of strugglers that courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain, and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God and others.
Celebrate Recovery takes place at CTK’s Ferndale campus, and is open to all. No matter where you're at in your recovery journey, this is drop-in friendly. We'd love to meet you.
