Ministries

Men’s Group: This group is a voluntary organization of men 18 years old and above. It was set up as some of the men saw a necessity for such an organization to mirror the ECW. There is a leadership cadre of President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The tenure of these positions is usually 2 years. There is a voluntary monthly dues of $10, and donations beyond the dues are always welcome to support our ministry at the church. The group has supported the church in annual fund-raising Thanksgiving celebrations, the yearly celebration of Mothers’ Day, and to financially support our church’s youth attending college, especially if they have been engaged with service to the church (acolyte) as they have grown in their faith formation. The group assists with any activity that the church needs men to execute, or any activity that they deem necessary for the good of the community. An example of this is setting up tents and taking them down for any outside events, putting out the wooden crosses out on the grounds during Holy Week, etc

Episcopal Church Women: ECW is a national organization of the Episcopal Church. All women of the church are included in its membership. Our chapter of ECW has monthly meetings after Sunday worship to keep informed of any service projects that are needed at the church. A President, Secretary and Treasurer are elected each year.

Daughters of the King: Daughters of the King is a National Order of women who assist our clergy in prayer, service, and evangelism. Members of this order pledge to pray daily, especially for those in need. They have groups of daily and special prayers for each day of the week. The members try to do service projects to help in multiple ways. Women who are members of the Order of the Daughters of the King are installed into the order by the clergy during a church service....

The Children's ministry at Christ the King comprises kids from nursery age through middle school. Children at Christ the King are cared for by members of the Children's Ministry Team, who have completed the Safe Guarding God’s Children Program organized by the diocese. We constantly strive to maintain an atmosphere of love and happiness for the kids to learn about God and to grow in their understanding of his teachings.
