Christ the King Community Church

What Christ the King Community Church does

Christ the King Community Church, Inc. is a private, nonprofit evangelical Presbyterian church operating from a single campus at 4405 Hope Valley Road in Durham, North Carolina. It is affiliated with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) denomination and is governed by a Session (Board of Elders) of eight members alongside a paid pastoral staff of four — Pastor Jack Parmelee (since 2022), Director of Student Ministry & Outreach Tyler Maraia (joined 2023), Director of Children's Ministry Jennifer Thomason-Scott, and Director of Worship Ministry Dave Stall. Its congregation is reported at 400+ individuals drawn primarily from the greater RDU area (Durham, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Cary, Raleigh).

The church's offering centers on weekly Sunday worship services at 10:15 AM featuring blended contemporary and traditional music and biblical preaching, supplemented by age-targeted ministries (children's ministry for ages 2+, youth group for grades 6-12, and a Young Adult "Refuge" ministry), mid-week small groups, a Care Team for pastoral support, and a global/local missions portfolio. Service delivery is augmented by a Squarespace-hosted website, an online sermon video archive, a Sunday livestream, and an email newsletter; there is no proprietary technology platform. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through voluntary tithes and offerings, collected via in-service giving, mailed donations, and online recurring giving — there is no fee-for-service pricing model. The church maintains roughly fifteen formal ministry partnerships — eight with international mission agencies (WEC International, EPC World Outreach, Vida Joven Nicaragua, Bridges International, Trans World Radio, CRU, OMF International, Team Expansion) and seven-plus with local Durham organizations (Urban Ministries of Durham, Durham Rescue Mission, Meals on Wheels Durham, Pregnancy Support Services, Rise Against Hunger, Intervarsity, Child Evangelism Fellowship).

Regional players

• South Hills Church: Evangelical congregation in the Carolinas region. Comparable in worship style and family-oriented ministry focus, though operating in a different metropolitan market than CTK's RDU base.

Others

• WEC International: One of CTK's core global mission partners. Adjacent peer in the faith-based nonprofit and missions ecosystem rather than a direct church competitor; relevant for benchmarking global missions engagement models.
• Child Evangelism Fellowship: Faith-based nonprofit focused on children's ministry and evangelism, with which CTK partners. Adjacent peer sharing overlap in children's spiritual formation mission and volunteer-driven nonprofit model.

Direct peers

• Christ Community Church: Mid-sized evangelical congregation with multi-generational ministry programming. Comparable to CTK in mission emphasis, age-segmented ministries, and small-group-based community model.
• McLean Presbyterian Church: An Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) congregation in McLean, Virginia. Directly comparable to CTK as a fellow EPC local congregation offering Sunday worship, small groups, youth/children's ministry, and global missions with the same denominational identity.
• Cherry Creek Church: An Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) congregation. Direct peer to CTK given identical EPC denominational affiliation, comparable congregational size, and similar ministry structure (worship, small groups, missions).
• Harpeth Presbyterian Church: An EPC congregation in the Brentwood/Nashville, TN area. Directly comparable as a same-denomination evangelical Presbyterian church with similar size, blended worship style, and global missions engagement.

Broad incumbents

• The Summit Church: Large multi-site evangelical church based in Durham, NC, serving the same RDU market as Christ the King. Comparable as a Durham-area evangelical congregation competing for the same seeker and member demographic, though operating at materially larger scale.
