Welcome to Christ the King Lutheran Church

Christ the King Church, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America located in the Rice Village, is an inclusive community welcoming people of all cultures, races, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We draw many people from Rice University, the Texas Medical Center and the surrounding neighborhood, yet a good number of our members drive the distance from the larger metropolitan area. Currently about 365 people attend worship on any given weekend.

We are committed to the mission of proclaiming the message of God’s reconciling work revealed in Jesus Christ and proceeding in the Spirit of God. We share a common faith with Christians everywhere who baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and Holy Spirit. Our faith is expressed in the rich liturgical life of the congregation, our baptism, and our celebration at the Lord’s Table. We continually educate children and adults to appreciate the elusive but real presence of God in the world and to bring faith to expression through our actions as a caring community.
