    As the memories of Easter Sunday fade—Easter speeches, delicious candy, scrumptious Sunday’s supper, and creative costumes—let’s not forget the importance of regular church attendance. It’s not just about the major holidays but about every Sunday. A believer’s presence is not just valued; it’s crucial, and CTK encourages those without a church home to be an integral part of Christ The King Baptist Church’s community each week.

    Christ the King Baptist Church encourages all to remember last Sunday’s beautiful Easter Cantata, which was directed by Lawrence Bell and his team, including his Mom, Trina Bell, and other helpers and participants in the play. Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr, Executive Pastor Treyvon Sinclair, Sr., and the entire ministry of Christ the King Baptist Church encourage all to remember, reconsider, and revisit Christ The King Baptist Church.

    CTK looks forward to seeing all at the upcoming services this Sunday, April 27th, 2025. The service will feature the Men’s Day Celebration with the guest keynote speaker from Saturday’s Men’s Conference, April 26th, and today’s guest speaker, Senior Pastor Christopher Boston of Lamb of God Missionary Baptist Church of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The service will include uplifting music, an inspiring sermon, and a small time window for fellowship during service.


    Men are encouraged to wear a black bow tie; if they do not have one, come anyway. The Men’s Day Celebration is a special event where Men are celebrated and not tolerated. CTK honors and appreciates the men for working in the community and their unwavering contributions and leadership in and outside the church.

    CTK looks forward to celebrating CTK’s Men today.

    In the meantime, please enjoy the flashbacks from last Sunday’s Resurrection Sunday Easter Cantata.

  • Scenes from “Jerusalem” Unfold at Christ The King Baptist Church on Resurrection Sunday, April 20th, 2025

    Christ The King Baptist Church Presents Kept In Heaven, Easter Cantata

    Christ The King Baptist Church Presents Kept In Heaven, Easter Cantata
    It is a dual play about a kid doing drugs and helping a lost young girl find her way in life. Chi’s experience allows him to learn more about Jesus Christ. What will young Chi, portrayed by Malachi, do? Will he be influenced by the drug dealer Deon, or will he listen to Jesus? The beauty of the play transitions to scenes where Chi sees or hears about Jesus Christ.

    After Chi sees Jesus and his disciples go to the Upper Room, the following incredible scene of Jesus, portrayed by Leon after leaving the Upper Room, reminds the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane to stay awake while Jesus goes further to pray.

    “Matthew 26:40-45 King James Version (KJV) “And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

    From scene to scene, CTK’s volunteers have poured their hearts and souls into this performance, practicing diligently to ensure everything is perfect for Jesus Christ. Their unwavering dedication and hard work are appreciated, from the actors and actresses to the liturgical dancers, singers, and stage-handling crew.

    Christ the King Baptist Church cordially invites you to worship with the Dance and Arts Department on Resurrection Sunday. The sermon will be the play, and the service begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. There is no fee; come for free!
