Searching for more out of life? New to Church?

Searching for more than your current church offers?
Come discover the prayer and worship of your ancestors.  For 1600 years this is the universal worship of the West and continued after the reformation up until the middle of the last century (1970). This is often referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) - except we celebrate it in English!  Evensong and morning prayer are even older as Psalms are chanted, a practice that goes back to ancient Israel.  We invite you to journey with us and discover the worship of the early Church! 

In the last 50 years, faith and worship in Canada has gone from a common place experience to often a rare event around Easter and Christmas.  There are a number of reasons for this.  For some, it is that their church ceased to be relevant to their daily life.  For others, worship became less focused on God and more on the social aspect.  Still for others, the faith they had been taught was no longer held by their church.  For others the culture and ethnicity of their parents church became an impediment in their relationship with God. For others, the faith was not passed on to them as children.  There are a multitude of reasons.

And yet many of us want more out of life.  Not the materialistic aspect which often leaves us wanting, but a sense of something more.  A sense of the spiritual which we have lost from our culture.  If you are searching for more in your life, a connection to God, worshiping Him as we have since the beginning of the Church, then we invite you to pray with us!
Whether you are just beginning your search or you have been searching for what seems forever, you are more than welcome. 

Come discover spirituality, solid biblical teaching and the doctrine of the early Church. We offer a home where the teaching of the apostles is upheld with traditional worship which focuses on offering praise to God. All of our services are in English, which makes us one of only two fully English speaking Orthodox Churches in Edmonton.
Christ the King Orthodox aims to provide a community based fully in the the liturgical tradition of the West while holding to the truths of the Canonical Holy Orthodox Church. For those who are searching, we invite you to contact us for more information.  Come home to ... well... your home!
