Pastorates

Building Friendships in Christ

At Christ the King, Pastorates create space for connection, learning, laughter, and friendship rooted in Christ. These mid-sized groups (ranging from 15–50 people) gather every 4–8 weeks in homes, on campus, or at local spots around town.

Some are co-ed, while others are just for men or women. What they all share is a purpose:

to help people grow in Christ through friendship, intentional conversation, teaching, and shared life.

Current Pastorates at CtK

The Learner’s Exchange

This pastorate meets more regularly than most others, given that it is hosted on the vast majority of Sundays each year between our two Sunday services, starting around 9:45am and running for about 45 minutes. Each session features a talk with space for Q&A, covering a wide range of topics:

  • Old and New Testament studies

  • Church history and theology

  • Christian ethics and spiritual formation

Coffee and light refreshments are provided. We meet in the main classroom of the Old School House, located on the CtK campus.
