Christ the King

What Christ the King does

Christ the King is an Anglican parish church located at 1801 N. Quaker Lane, Alexandria, Virginia, founded in 2006 and operating with approximately 94 staff and volunteers. The organization delivers weekly Sunday worship services (8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.), a comprehensive ministry ecosystem across children, youth, men, women, music, education and formation, small groups, sacraments, and outreach, and runs a pastoral residency program to train future clergy. The congregation is the sole primary customer segment, served geographically in Alexandria, VA, with digital reach via a podcast on Apple Podcasts and a Linktree-hosted weekly newsletter.

The revenue model is non-commercial and consists of voluntary member tithes, offerings, and pledges supporting an annual Operations Budget plus a dedicated 84:1 Building Fund for property expansion and beautification. Additional, smaller revenue streams include gifts of stock, planned/legacy gifts, and fees from renting the facility to external community groups under a Vestry-approved fee schedule. Online giving is processed through Realm. Partnerships with Greater Alexandria Young Life and For the Nations DC extend the church's outreach footprint beyond the parish.

Underlying technology is limited to a Squarespace website, a podcast distribution channel, an email newsletter hub, and a Realm giving platform. The organization purchased its current property in June 2022 and engaged Kerns Group Architects in April 2023 to develop a long-term Master Plan for renovations and possible expansion, indicating an active capital project phase.

Direct peers

• Church of the Resurrection: An Anglican parish with multiple locations and a similar ministry ecosystem (worship, formation, outreach, pastoral residency). Comparable in operating model and demographic focus.
• The Falls Church Anglican: An Anglican congregation in Falls Church, VA — same denomination, similar Northern Virginia geography, and comparable suburban parish model. Most directly comparable due to shared ACNA affiliation and similar demographic catchment.
• Church of the Apostles: An Anglican congregation offering worship, formation, and community-outreach ministries in a similar parish structure. Directly comparable as a same-denomination peer pursuing the multi-generational ministry model.
• Truro Anglican Church: A large Anglican church in Fairfax, VA — same ACNA denomination, similar Northern Virginia market, and a comparable multi-generational ministry structure. Larger in scale but operates the same parish-with-extensive-programs model.

Broad incumbents

• Washington National Cathedral: A large, established mainline Christian cathedral in the Washington D.C. metro area offering worship, formation, and community programming. While Episcopal rather than Anglican, it competes for similar demographics and donor bases in the same regional market.
• Anglican Church in North America: The governing ecclesiastical body of the Anglican tradition in which Christ the King operates. Relevant as the broader institutional incumbent that sets polity, supports parishes, and shapes the competitive landscape.
