Pastor Chuck Neugebauer

Pastor Chuck has been the Senior Pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Memphis, TN since 1995. After serving in the Navy for five years, he graduated from the University of Delaware and Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He then planted a church in Gallatin, Tennessee, and served another congregation in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, before accepting the divine call to CTK. Pastor Chuck has served our Synod in various positions over his 38 years in ministry, and has served the Mid-South District, LCMS, for many years as First Vice President and as Chair of the Board of Directors. He has been honored to preach on The Lutheran Hour and for various conventions and conferences nationally.

Pastor Chuck and his wife Diane have four grown sons, two of whom are Lutheran pastors, and ten grandchildren who keep them busy and buying. Pastor loves to preach, teach, and all things sports and music, especially the Grizz, the Red Sox, and the Beatles. He enjoys all our awesome Memphis BBQ and our fantastic naturally filtered delicious water. Oh, and deviled eggs!

Elders

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 serving as an approachable point of contact for members who are struggling with personal issues or matters of faith. Our mission is accomplished by proactive, regular, personal contact with church members, encouraging consistent participation in corporate worship while providing them an avenue to address issues in a confidential setting. 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.
