ABOUT CHRIST THE KING
Faith, Fellowship, and Family in the Heart of Mt. Pleasant. Welcome to Christ the King - you're home.
What We Believe
With the universal Christian Church, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God:
the Father, creator of all that exists;
Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan;
and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and Sacraments.
The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.
Our congregations accept and preach the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.
Rooted in Christ. Growing Together.
Christ The King Lutheran Chapel is part of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. In the mid 1960s, the Michigan District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod established a full-time campus ministry at Central Michigan University (CMU). The Michigan District constructed a chapel/fellowship center in the heart of CMU’s campus. Christ The King Lutheran Chapel (CTK) was dedicated in 1966.
Today, Zion Lutheran Church, Mount Pleasant, currently leases the chapel and oversees its operation and maintenance, although the Michigan District still provides partial support. Christ The King is considered to be a major part of Zion’s mission outreach efforts.
Christ The King Lutheran Chapel is open most weekdays for church members and students to come in and work on homework, rest, pray, eat, visit with friends, and talk with the campus pastor. There are also weekly worship, Bible study opportunities, and events and activities.
