About Burlington CTK

We believe that every local church has a unique purpose in God’s plan to reach the world. The difference between God’s call to the church in general and God’s call to a specific church is the difference between saying, “We’re going west” and “We’re going to San Francisco.” God has called every church to reach out. He has called Christ the King to reach out in a particular way. Our mission is to create authentic Christian communities that reach out effectively to unchurched people with love, acceptance and forgiveness, so that they may experience the joy of salvation and a purposeful life of discipleship.
