Welcome from the Pastor
I want to welcome you to our website. Perhaps you are here because you are looking for a new church home or are simply curious about who we are. Finding a church home is an important, even essential, element to your further growth in grace. You may be looking for a new church home because you are new to an area or because you find you need to make a change from where currently worship. Regardless of your situation, let me encourage you to spend some time exploring our website. It is our hope that you will get some idea of who we are and our heart for ministry. We also have resources that we believe will encourage your soul.
That said, simply scrolling and clicking will not give you a complete and accurate picture of who we are and what God is doing in the midst of Christ the King. Let me invite you to join us on Sunday morning at 10:45 am at New Slack Hall on the campus of North Cross School located at the corner of Electric and Colonial. In addition, let me encourage you to attend one of the many small groups that meet throughout the week and throughout the valley. Join us as we seek God’s face and His glorify in every area of our lives. If you have other questions, please feel free to email me at edunnington@ctkroanoke.org.
Perhaps you have no idea how you ended up at our site or this page. If that is the case let me say I am thankful you are here. Christ the King is a church community that exists because Jesus perfect life and sacrificial death has made it possible. We are convinced that the gospel is not simply about “getting saved” but about being reconciled to God through the blood of Jesus. It is about being restored not based on our performance but on the work of another, we call this grace. The implications of this reconciliation are life long and life altering. Living by the gospel of grace means we are never “finished” with the Christian life. There is always more reconciliation and restoration to take place in our lives. It also means that all who have experienced this reconciliation are now agents of this gospel of grace. In short, the gospel makes followers of Christ revolutionaries. Humble and broken revolutionaries who are seeking to see his kingdom established.
In the spring of 2006 my family and I moved back to Virginia to be a part of God establishing a Christ-centered church in southwest Roanoke. The Lord has led us every step of the way and we look with great expectation to what He intends to do in the years to come. We invite you to join us … and the Gospel revolution.
