Welcome
Welcome to Christ the King Church Newton. We belong to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), one of the largest and fastest growing Presbyterian denominations in North America. We were started in 2010 by a group of people from Christ the King Presbyterian Church in Cambridge who sought to start a gospel-believing church in the suburbs of Newton and Wellesley. We became a particular church in 2019.
We are connected to several other churches throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island via the Southern New England Presbytery, the regional organization of churches belonging to the same denomination. We meet three times a year for worship, prayer, administration, encouragement and accountability.
Our Vision
Our vision is to see a people gathered in Newton to worship God, to be a blessing to our community, and to seek our own as well as our community's transformation through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We intend to pursue this vision by providing opportunities for public corporate worship, for service to Newton and neighboring communities, and for relationships empowered by the love of Jesus Christ. Thus, on-going themes of our church are Gospel, Community, Hospitality, and Evangelism.
Core Principles
Gospel, Community, Hospitality, Evangelism are the four core principles of CTK. We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ leads us into community. Such community is marked by hospitality (love of the stranger). And hospitality is the conduit for evangelism, proclaiming the reason for our faith, hope, and love.
We believe that a community of people is the best avenue through which to apply the truths of the Gospel to the estrangement of sin in each of us. Simply put, we need each other. We grow in both our apprehension as well as our application of the gospel through community. And it is through such a community that a watching world perceives the validity of Jesus Christ.
