Rooted in Steele Creek since 1993

 

Christ the King Church was founded in 1992 by Pastor Craig Bollinger and four dedicated families with a vision to serve the growing Steele Creek community. The first worship service was held in 1993, alongside a small children’s ministry. 

Over the decades, CTK launched a preschool, grew into a dedicated worship center, and forged lasting partnerships with mission organizations near and far, sharing the gospel in Steele Creek and across the globe. 

In 2023, the church celebrated 30 years of faithful service with campus renovations to carry the ministry forward. The seed planted in 1992 has grown into something none of those founding families could have fully imagined, and the work continues.

Pastor Craig Bollinger

Pastor Craig Bollinger founded Christ the King Church in 1992 with a conviction that relationships transform lives. For more than 32 years, he poured that conviction into Steele Creek, bridging gaps in a diverse community and building connections that extended from the neighborhood to Africa and Guatemala. After retiring from the lead pastor role, Craig remains a member of CTK and continues investing in the mission he helped build.

our continued vision 

What sets Christ the King Church apart from other churches is our interpretation of the vision God has entrusted to us through the Holy Spirit, as articulated by our founding pastor:
 
Multiethnic: A church reflecting heaven in its ethnic and socioeconomic diversity and through acts of love in the world.
Transformative: A place where people encounter Jesus and experience life-changing transformation.
Life-Giving: A spiritual home where those far from God discover His great love for them.
 
This compelling vision has been the foundation for developing relevant ministries for every age and background. CtK is more than a Sunday church; it is a bustling 24/7/365 community of faith housed in 22,000 square feet, offering a wide array of programs to deepen God’s purpose in people’s lives.
