Christ the King Catholic Church

What Christ the King Catholic Church does

Christ the King Catholic Church is a personal parish of the Diocese of Lansing located at 4000 Ave Maria Drive in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Founded in 1981 from the Catholic Fellowship of the Word of God and granted full canonical parish status in 1997, it operates with a distinct Catholic Charismatic spirituality rooted in the Holy Spirit movement, drawing members by shared spirituality rather than geographic boundaries. The parish offers the full sacramental life of the Catholic Church (Mass, Reconciliation, Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, Funerals) plus 24/7 Eucharistic Adoration, faith formation from toddler through adult, and approximately 20 specialized ministries including youth discipleship, Stephen Ministry, Pro-Life Ministry, Eucharistic Outreach to correctional and care facilities, and Parish Nurse services.

The church's operational technology consists of a ParishSoft online giving platform, a website built via LPi/WeConnect, and a volunteer Tech Team supporting in-house sound, video, and lighting, with Mass and Upper Room prayer meetings livestreamed via a dedicated YouTube channel. A 24/7 Adoration Chapel and multi-service Mass schedule (three weekend Masses plus five weekday Mass times) anchor the in-person worship experience. Core programs include Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, FUEL middle school, A1:8 high school ministry, Alpha, OCIA, Bible Studies, Upper Room charismatic prayer meetings, and a Warriors of St. Michael men's group.

Revenue is generated primarily through weekly tithes and donations from registered parishioners via the ParishSoft platform, supplemented by modest fees for youth faith formation programs ($75-$100/child annually) and sacramental fees ($15-$25/child). The parish maintains referral partnerships with community resource partners (Hope Clinic, Arborwoman Health, Family Life Services, Sienna Women's Health) and operational alliances with Catholic Charities Washtenaw County and the Catholic Community of Flint. The Diocese of Lansing holds canonical oversight and assigns priests, including Pastor Fr. Ed Fride who has led the parish since its canonical establishment.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves9 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Alpha USA: Christian faith-exploration course provider whose curriculum CTK uses as the entry point for OCIA. Overlaps with CTK's seeker/formation ministry but operates as a curriculum licensor rather than a worshipping community.
• Knights of Columbus: International Catholic fraternal service organization with a council hosted at CTK. Adjacent ecosystem participant — same Catholic identity, complementary mission of charitable works, but distinct organizational model from a parish.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities USA: National network of faith-based social service agencies. CTK partners with Catholic Charities of Washtenaw County and runs comparable community outreach (Helping Hands, Pro-Life, pregnancy support referrals), making it a broad-incumbent peer in faith-based community services.
• EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network): Global Catholic broadcaster offering livestreamed Masses, catechesis, and devotional content. CTK operates a YouTube livestream of Masses and prayer meetings that overlaps functionally with EWTN's on-demand Catholic media distribution.

Emerging players

• Renewal Ministries: Catholic charismatic renewal apostolate that has hosted teaching at CTK's Upper Room. Overlaps strongly with CTK on charismatic Catholic formation and outreach, though operating as a traveling ministry rather than a fixed parish.
• Stephen Ministries: Ecumenical Christian caregiving ministry that licenses the Stephen Minister program used by CTK. Comparable in providing lay-led emotional/spiritual support and in serving congregations through structured caregiver training.

Direct peers

• St. Mary Student Parish: Catholic parish serving the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. Most direct local peer — same Catholic tradition, same city, overlapping demographic of faith-seeking adults but with a campus-ministry orientation rather than CTK's charismatic Renewal focus.
• St. Andrew Catholic Church (Ann Arbor): Diocese of Lansing parish serving the Ann Arbor Catholic community with weekend Masses, formation programs, and parish ministries. Directly comparable in operating model (parish, Diocese of Lansing, formation + sacraments) and competes for the same Ann Arbor Catholic households.
• St. John Vianney Catholic Church (Flint): Partner parish within the Catholic Community of Flint cluster supported by CTK. Same diocesan governance, similar parish operating model, and a known collaboration partner — making it a directly comparable peer in mission delivery.
• St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church: Another Catholic parish in the Ann Arbor area under the Diocese of Lansing. Comparable in mission and ministry mix (Mass, sacraments, youth formation, outreach); competes for parishioners in the same Ann Arbor/Washtenaw County market.
