Christ the King Lutheran Church

About us 

1982: The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod District Mission Board selected a site on Apopka-Vineland Road and formed a nucleus of families to begin a new congregation. In December of that year the Rev. Gerald N. Schultz was called to be their pastor.

1984: On Easter Sunday the first service in the just completed sanctuary was held and communion was shared by 134 people.

1989: Rapid congregational growth prompted the decision to build a larger sanctuary.

1992: On March 22 the existing sanctuary was dedicated with 534 attending the service. The previously used building was renamed to Barnabas Fellowship Hall.

1997: A new Rogers Organ was installed to enhance the music portion of our worship. In that same year the Preschool was launched with an initial enrollment of 37.

2016: At the end of April, Pastor Schultz retired. Pastor Zeile was selected to be the Intentional Interim Pastor while preparations were made for calling a new pastor.

2018: In May, Rev. Timothy Brown was installed as Pastor of Christ The King Lutheran Church.
