Your Elder is always available for any spiritual or other need. Contact: elders@ctkmemphis.com
The Board of Elders is a collection of Churchmen whose primary charge is to serve the Lord by ensuring Word and Sacrament at CTK are administered in accordance with the doctrine of the LCMS, and by counseling members who are struggling with personal issues or matters of faith. Every member of Christ The King is assigned an elder, and is encouraged to use that elder as a conduit to the other departments and offices within the Church.
