Where does the church meet?

Christ the King at the recently beautifully restored and renovated “Old Gym” in the downtown Midlothian area.

Worship begins at 10:30 am, and nursery is provided.
The address is:
700 West Avenue H, Midlothian, TX 76065

The easiest access will be from Main Street (accessible either from US 67 or US 287) onto either 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Street. Below is a map indicating where to park, and we will have a number of folks standing outside directing traffic and welcoming you to The Old Gym and pointing you to the entrance, which is easily accessible for those with mobility challenges. We do ask that people save the closest spots–accessible from 3rd St.–for the elderly and those with small children. In case of rain please note the identified drop off zone; those parking in the back can easily walk down 4th or 2nd Street to get to the entrance of The Old Gym.

When are services?

We gather for worship at 10:30 a.m.

What should I wear? 

You should wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. There is no dress code, written or unwritten, at Christ the King. A lot of our folks wear jeans. Some men wear dress pants and blazers. Some women wear dresses. The pastor usually wears khakis and a sport coat, without a tie.

What is worship like?

Our worship is meant to tell the story of the Gospel each week. We enter into God’s presence by praising his majesty and affirming our faith together. We then spend time confessing our sin together and being assured of God’s pardon in Christ. We respond to that forgiveness with joy, giving our tithes and offerings and sharing the peace of Christ with one another. We then hear from God’s Word about what it means to follow Jesus in our lives. We end each service by receiving God’s blessing and being sent into the world as pictures of his grace.

Every Sunday, we receive the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.

You can get a feel for our worship by looking at this sample Order of Worship.

Can I take Communion (the Lord’s Supper/Eucharist)?

If you are a baptized member of a church that preaches the Gospel, you are welcome to receive the Lord’s Supper at Christ the King Church.

What is the music like at Christ the King?

We sing songs and hymns from a wide variety of times and places at Christ the King. It is not uncommon to sing a hymn from the early church, a modern praise song, and a recently “re-tuned” hymn all in the same service. We believe that the chief instrument in worship is the congregation’s voice, so we strive to use songs that are easy to sing even if unfamiliar.

We desire our music to be congregational singable, theologically faithful, culturally accessible, and emotionally honest.

What is the preaching like?

At Christ the King Church, we take the Bible very seriously. Sermons seek to explain the Biblical text in a way that helps us understand ourselves and Jesus more fully. Sermons also seek to help us respond appropriately to God’s grace in our lives. They usually last around 25 minutes. You can listen to recent sermons here.
