Church Session votes to ENGAGE God’s Word & God’s Work Capital Campaign

Houston, Texas – In 1997 a small group of families launched a new church they called Christ the King. The Church was built in the heart of Houston. Their history and legacy are rich with many programs and outreach in the community and well beyond.

Christ the King has embarked upon their largest-ever major Capital Stewardship Campaign in the history of the church. The Reverend John Trapp said, “Now is the time and we are ready for a Capital Campaign. We are glad that our consultant is here.”

This decision came after several Focus Group Meetings where everyone was encouraged to attend. A full presentation was given including a brief history of Christ the King Presbyterian Church, a list of current ministries and service opportunities. A second presenter listed the needs and opportunities along with the vision of leadership to address these concerns. Architectural Renderings and estimated investments were given to complete the presentation. Then folks were given time to ask questions and to make comments, and filled out a brief questionnaire, which were recorded and compiled in a final report. Many people said how much they enjoyed getting together and they learned a lot about CTK and the history. The members were glad to be updated on the status of the campus and state of the financials. They were asked, what needs & opportunities do you see for Christ the King Presbyterian Church?

Each of the individuals and families within the church will be contacted for a personal visit. The church is hoping and dreaming because of the ensuing campaign to be able to build a new and larger sanctuary, new youth building, more Children’s Classrooms, a new Great Hall, and a new remodeled chapel, with newly configured office spaces.

Senior Pastor John is fully engaged and optimistic about the wonderful possibilities. He became the Senior Pastor in 2021.
