Foundations
In common with all orthodox Christians throughout the ages, we believe in the Holy Trinity as revealed in the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testaments). Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father and that God is reconciling the world to himself through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit within and through the Church. Salvation is received through the grace and mercy of God in Jesus Christ. As Anglicans, we are both Catholic and Reformed. We adhere to the three historic Creeds of the Christian Church (Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian), the first four ecumenical councils (Nicea 325 A.D., Constantinople 381, Ephesus 431, and Chalcedon 451), and the faithful transmission of doctrine and worship. The Reformation was a reaffirmation of these principles, and the Anglican formularies (The Book of Common Prayer, the 39 Articles, the two Books of Homilies, and the Ordinal) are foundational to our Anglican identity.
Following Jesus
Rooted in the memory of the early and ancient church, our lives must be continuously surrendered and sustained by the grace and mercy offered through Jesus. This takes a specific form in the lives of all Christians. Through the indwelling Holy Spirit, we are led to worship together, receive sound Biblical and theological teaching, form genuine fellowship, and grow in the private disciplines of prayer and reading Scripture. As we learn to love and follow Jesus, he leads us to share and spread his love and good news to everyone!
Our Worship
Christ the King is a theologically conservative and orthodox Anglican church in Edmonton. On Sunday mornings, we gather to worship God through the hearing of His Word, publicly read and preached, and coming to His Table to receive the benefits of His grace. We follow the modern language liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer and celebrate Holy Communion every week. Our worship includes a blend of contemporary songs and hymns, sound Biblical and theological preaching focused on the risen Christ, and times for silent prayer, reflection, and mutual encouragement.
We welcome you to join us.
