The Christ The King History

The story of Christ the King Community Church in Port Orange is still unfolding, and if you're new here, we want to share what God has done throughout the past 15 years. It all began in 2010 when God called Scott and Jen Kirschner to return to Port Orange to plant a new church. They answered God's call and returned to Florida and embarked on this labor of love.

They gathered a small group together to begin their journey. Before officially launching in July 2010, Scott and Jen were invited to join the Christ the King network based in the Pacific Northwest. That summer, Scott began coaching cross country at Spruce Creek High School. For the next decade, Cypress Creek Elementary School became the church's home.

In December 2019, our church family purchased 7.5 acres at 6015 Spruce Creek Road. Work to clear the dense overgrowth began in January 2020, and we held our first outdoor celebration service in March 2020, marking a significant milestone. This unique worship experience in God’s creation has drawn many new faces to our community of faith.

In 2021, we became independent of the CTK Network. By 2023, thanks to our generous church family, we paid off our property, becoming debt-free. As of spring 2024, we secured a loan for our first building and broke ground that summer. We anticipate that the building will open in the spring of 2026 to welcome the hundreds of those who call Christ the King their church family.

We are continually reminded that the church is not a building, but rather, it is a community of people committed to witnessing to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God is at work in this place and at this time, and we pray that you will discover Christ the King to be your church family in this place and at this time in your own life. We are here for you!
