Weekday Adult Formation
Q: Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and
fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the
prayers?
A: I will, with God's help.
- From the Baptismal Covenant, Book of Common Prayer, p. 304
Here at Christ the King, we are deeply committed to and passionate about living faithfully into our baptismal covenant by "continuing in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers." In addition to our Sunday morning Christian formation offerings, there are several opportunities for adult formation during the week. In each of the below offerings, there are opportunities to grow closer to God and to one another.
Adult Christian Formation Classes
"Unafraid" with Adam Hamilton. A recent study found that one in five of us has an anxiety disorder and we spend over $2 billion a year on anti-anxiety medications. Often our life events play a significant role in our worries and fears. In this study based on his book "Unafraid" and DVD Series, Adam Hamilton explores the most common worries and fears experienced by Americans today. He considers practical steps for overcoming these fears, and reflects upon fear in the light of Scripture and a faith that promises again and again that we don’t need to live in fear. We can live with courage and hope. Join us beginning Sunday, September 15 for a 5-week study and discussion in Sandefur Hall from 9:15–10:15AM. All adults are invited and welcome!
Please contact John French at (850) 420-9803 or jcfrench3@icloud.com with any questions.
Parents Bible Study
Every Monday morning at 8:15am in The Parlor beginning 10/21, we will be studying Dane Ortland’s “Gentle and Lowly” book. Christians know what Jesus Christ has done—but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” This book reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.

Women's Bible Study
Women’s Bible Study on Revelation
Revelation can be one of the most intimidating books of the Bible, thanks to popular but misguided
spin-offs like the Left Behind Series. Join Rev. Emily Proctor & Lynne Adcox for a more
faithful deep dive into the Book of Revelation on Monday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the Parlor, beginning Monday, September 9th. Please email Emily.Rose.Proctor@gmail.com or text 850-783-0237 with questions or if you need help ordering the
book Three Months with Revelation by Justo L. González.
Men’s Council - CtK Library
The purpose of this council is to be open to the mystery of the Spirit and to explore and deepen our spiritual journey as individuals and in community. A method known as the Way of Council — a communal contemplative practice — is used and affirms the importance of listening and speaking from the heart within a circle of men. All men are welcome and invited. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month (unless noted otherwise) from 5:30 pm –7:00 pm in the CtK Library. Our next two gatherings will be on Wednesday Sept 11th and September 25th. Please consider joining us. Please contact John French at
(850) 420-9803 or jcfrench3@icloud.com with any questions.
Men's Breakfast & Bible Study - Every Friday at Sandefur Hall
There are two parts to our Friday morning men’s breakfast. The first is enjoying good food, fellowship, and connection with each other. The second is spending time together in the holy scriptures, usually with only a few verses at a time each week. Currently, we are studying the Gospel According to Matthew. This is a “no stress Bible study”. All men are welcome regardless of your experience, knowledge, or familiarity with the Bible (or lack thereof). You can ask questions, make statements, or just listen. Come join us! We meet every Friday morning from 8:00am until about 9:15/9:30am in CTK Sandefur Hall. Did we mention that the breakfast is real tasty? Contact Darold Smith at aristacraft@yahoo.com / 850-598-7747 for more info.
