Christ the King Catholic Church, Oklahoma City

What Christ the King Catholic Church, Oklahoma City does

Christ the King Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish located at 8005 Dorset Drive in northwest Oklahoma City, founded in 1949 by Bishop Eugene McGuinness and currently serving more than 1,750 registered families. The parish operates a comprehensive Catholic ministry platform spanning sacramental services (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick), a PreK-8 parish school (Christ the King School), and faith formation programs across all life stages — including Family Faith Formation, the Montessori-based Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Mother's Day Out childcare, Youth Confirmation and Youth Group, OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) for seekers, ACTS retreats, Marriage In His Image, Bible Study, and outreach ministries (food bank, Peru mission, jail ministry, senior and addiction support).

The parish is led by Pastor Fr. Rex Arnold with Parochial Vicar Fr. Prabhakar Kalivela and a 19-person staff covering formation, communications, business operations, music, youth ministry, and sacramental coordination. Technology infrastructure is limited to standard parish administration and digital communications tooling: ParishSoft/Faith Direct for online giving, eCatholic for the parish website (ckokc.org), Constant Contact for email newsletters, STL Church Casting for live-streaming the Sunday 10:00 AM Mass, and Cloudflare for website security. No proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, or developer-facing APIs are operated.

The revenue model is overwhelmingly dependent on weekly offertory contributions from parishioners — $2.7 million in FY2024 (year ending June 30, 2024), down $100,000 from FY2023 — supplemented by modest program fees (formation classes, Mother's Day Out childcare at $225–$325/month, Mass intentions at $10, ACTS retreats at $225, marriage prep at $75–$100) and school operations partially subsidized by the parish. The FY2025 budget targets a 5% offertory increase to $2.85 million, with school subsidization projected to decline (but not be eliminated) under Oklahoma's new Parental Choice Tax Credit program. Customer acquisition is community-led through word-of-mouth, parish invitation, OCIA inquiry nights, and the parish school; there is no paid acquisition or commercial sales motion.
