About Our Ministry
About Our Ministry
Welcome! The members of Christ the King are a family of believers in Jesus Christ. We are a group of sinners who are loved by Jesus and called to love others.
We believe that the entire Bible is God’s Word. God’s Word is centered on Jesus, the Savior of the world who cares about you and me personally. We are happy to share the certainty that through Jesus your sins are completely forgiven, and you are at peace with God. God is with you, God will use everything that happens for your good, and God will take you to be with Him in heaven.
Our mission as a congregation is to share this message of God’s love and eternal life with everyone we can reach. We warmly welcome all guests. There’s no dress code. Whether you wear a tie or have tattoos, whether you are a native Oklahoman or new in the area, whether you are single, divorced, or married, you are welcome. Jesus loves you, and we do too!
At Christ the King, we are…
Growing up
Growing together
Growing out
We grow up in our faith in Jesus as God’s Word is proclaimed in worship, and as we study God’s Word in our Bible classes. Our worship services are every Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and Bible class is before worship at 9:00 a.m. We would love to have you join us! In addition, students in grades 7 and 8 have a weekday class with Pastor Nathan in which we study all of the teachings of the Bible.
As we grow up in our faith in Jesus, we grow together as we devote ourselves to getting to know one another and caring about one another’s needs. Our church is a family that knows each other and cares about each other deeply. Are you looking for community or connections? Come and grow together with our family at Christ the King.
Finally, we also want to grow out as we share the message of Jesus with the people of our city. With God’s blessing, we hope to one day outgrow our new church facility and take on the mission of planting another congregation somewhere else in the metro Tulsa area.
What We Believe
What We Believe
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God.
We believe that God is three persons in one Being: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible proclaims what God has done through our Savior, Jesus, to save a world of dying sinners for a full life of faith now and a life of glory forever in heaven.
As a Lutheran church, we believe that we receive salvation through Christ alone, by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, and this has been revealed to us by the Scriptures alone.
Our church is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). For more information about our church and its teachings, visit www.wels.net.
Our Congregation
Our Congregation
The goal of many Christian churches in America is to grow to become a mega-church. Not so with Christ the King Lutheran Church. We recently built a new church building. The facility is large enough for a congregation of between 200-250 people. Once we reach that number, we hope to plant daughter congregations around the Tulsa metro area. Here’s why:
⦁ We want a congregation that has a family feel, a church where members get to know each other and interact outside of Sunday morning, a church where the pastor calls you by name will visit you at home if you invite him to do so.
⦁ We want a congregation where, if a crisis arises in our life or we have an issue that bothers us, we can turn to our pastor and our brothers and sisters in Christ and know that they care about us and will bring us comfort from God’s Word.
⦁ Instead of focusing on programs or events or media or technology, we want a congregation that focuses everything it does on Jesus Christ our Savior and his Word in the Bible. It’s only Jesus and his Word that bring us true comfort and peace.
About Our Pastor
About Our Pastor
Pastor Nathan Nass
I was born in Minnesota in 1985 and spent most of my childhood in New Ulm, MN. I was blessed to meet my wife Emily at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, and we were married after graduating in 2008. God has blessed us with four children: Isaiah, Samuel, Josiah, and Faith.
Christ the King is the fifth congregation I’ve had the chance to serve. I spent my vicar (internship) year at Faith Lutheran Church in Sharpsburg, GA from 2010-2011. Soon afterward, I received an emergency call to serve for one year at Christ the Lord in Houston, TX (2011-2012). After graduating from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in 2013, I was assigned to St. Peter Lutheran Church in St. Peter, MN. I served there for five years before accepting a call to St. Paul Lutheran Church in Green Bay, WI in 2018. Now my family and I are excited to serve here in Tulsa since 2021.
I love preaching and teaching God’s Word and getting to meet and care for people. If you would like to learn more about Jesus your Savior or about what the Bible teaches, please let me know. We would love to have you join us for our Sunday worship service, and I would love to have the chance to talk with you more about Jesus. God bless you!
