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 1500 years this is the universal worship of the West and continued after the reformation up until the middle of the last century (1960's).  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! 

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 people continue to 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!
Currently we are looking for a place to worship.  Please stay in touch, as we are looking forward to again gathering to celebrate the great gift of God's love.

About Christ the King

Christ the King welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds who wish to learn about or deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Christ the King is a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, under the spiritual leadership of His Beatitude Tikhon, Archbishop of Washington and the Metropolitan of all America and Canada.  We are a parish within the Archdiocese of Canada under His Eminence Irénée, Archbishop of Ottawa and Canada. Christ the King Orthodox Church is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and is western Canada's first canonical Western Rite Orthodox Church.

Our parish is a new community celebrating a very old tradition.  We are committed to bringing the Gospel to the English-speaking people of Edmonton and area in a manner that would be more familiar than many of the ethnic Orthodox Churches in Edmonton. We are committed to the teachings and traditions of the Ancient Christian Church, founded by our Lord Jesus Christ at the first Pentecost in 33 A.D.
