Summer Spotlight

This summer, we're offering an opportunity to dive into a few subjects in a deeper way on Sunday mornings. Our first-ever Summer Workshop Series features four 2-week workshops that explore a variety of topics that are core to our walk with Jesus. Join us for one or more workshop (they're all free!), happening between services from 10:00 to 10:50 AM.

Workshop 1: The Gospel with Pastor Jake Hruza
July 12 & 19
Many of us grew up hearing that the gospel is mainly about how we get saved—but what if it’s bigger than that? This class explores what the gospel really is: the good news of Jesus and its meaning for our lives today. We’ll look at how Jesus and the early church talked about the gospel and why it still matters. If you’ve ever wondered what the “good news” really means, this is a great place to start.

Workshop 2: Prayer with Pastor Carrie Butler
July 26 & August 2
This 2-part workshop will explore what it means to live as people of prayer who love and serve others by bringing all things to God and partnering with him and what he is doing through our prayers. In the first session, you’ll learn a simple, practical Blessing Prayer model that will help you pray for others. In the second, you'll learn what it means to prayer-walk in everyday spaces. This workshop is designed to help you move from identity to action, equipping you to pray, bless, and carry God’s presence wherever you go. Whether you’re new to this or looking to grow, come ready to engage, practice, and be encouraged.

Workshop 3: Forgiveness with Pastor Wendy Powell
August 9 & 16
Forgiveness. Always hard. Always God’s plan. ALWAYS. Join Pastor Wendy Powell for a workshop that walks through receiving forgiveness as the foundation from which we can then forgive ourselves, others and even God. The open invitation of the cross is a powerful path to freedom, joy and healing for all who will humble themselves to walk it.

Workshop 4: Community with Pastor Tyler Forney
August 23 & 30
We were never meant to follow Jesus alone. Our best way to grow in discipleship to Jesus is through Biblical Community. Our Community Workshop is a 2 week, informative starting point for anyone wanting to learn more about what biblical community is. Biblical Community is more than casual connection and friendship, it's practicing following Jesus with others as we all become more like him together. Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, come explore what it means to do that alongside others at CTK. You’ll learn what we mean by "biblical community", why it matters, the rhythms that help us grow in our relationships with God and others, and where to take your next step.

Community Groups

We weren’t meant to walk with Jesus on our own. We believe that being part of a strong biblical community is one of the keys to being transformed by Jesus.

So who are you in community with? Are you following Jesus with others by your side through the ups and downs of life? If not, a CTK Community Group is a great option for you.

Community Groups are safe, shared spaces to follow Jesus with others. These groups of 5 to 15 people gather during the week to share rhythms of prayer, study, scripture, meals, and service as they practice the way of Jesus together. If you’re looking to build relationships with others who love Jesus and want to grow in following him, we’d love to connect with you!

To find out more, contact Pastor Tyler Forney ( ).

Seniors Bible Study, Hymn Sing & Lunch

Join us for a warm, welcoming monthly gathering where seniors (age 55+) can enjoy a delicious, home-cooked meal, uplifting fellowship, singing hymns, and meaningful conversation centered on Jesus. Held on the second Thursday of every month, it's a chance to connect, grow deeper together, and build lasting friendships in a spirit of love and community. Whether you're a longtime member or new to the area, there's a seat at the table for you. Come hungry, leave blessed!

10:30 AM-Noon in the Meeting Place
Summer quarter dates are July 9, August 13, and September 10.

A $2 donation for lunch is appreciated. Questions? Contact Pastor Tyler Forney.

Marriage

At Christ the King, we care about your marriage. That's why we are here to support and encourage you on the journey. Whether you're newly engaged or approaching your golden anniversary, living marital bliss, or struggling to make it another day, we hope the resources you find here will help equip, strengthen, and encourage your relationships.

Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts

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, Jake Hruza, Tyler Forney, and Sydel McKim. 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.
