Brief History: For 40 years, the people of Christ the King Church have gathered regularly to hear God's word and receive God's sacraments, to welcome persons into the body of Christ, to pray for peace, to support one another through joys and sorrows, to nurture each other in the Gospel, to work for justice, and to go forth to serve God and others in the course of everyday life. The people of Christ the King first began meeting for worship on September 18, 1960. Services were held at Phillips School located on Route 27 just north of Henderson Road. The Congregation was officially organized on March 10, 1961. The present building was dedicated on April 19, 1964. The house next to the church building was purchased from the National Bank of New Jersey and moved from New Road to its present location in 1970. This facility served as residence of the congregation's pastor until 1991. Christ the King is a growing mission focused congregation. In addition to persons who have been a part of the congregation from the start, many of the people you meet here have recently become affiliated with us. Several of our families include members of other churches or religious traditions. We are people who value diversity, inclusiveness, hospitality, service, witness, nurture, and ministry in daily life. Since its organization, Christ the King has been served by 5 pastors: the Rev. Dwight A. Huseman, the Rev. Ralph Spears, the Rev. Elizabeth Waid, the Rev. Terry Wimmer, and the current pastor, the Rev. Fred Schott, who has been the congregation's pastor since 1997.
