Since the beginning, CTK has been a gospel-centered church, seeking to bear witness to the kingdom of Jesus Christ in this beautiful city. CTK has a diverse group of people who attend worship and small groups weekly. Within a city that speaks Spanish primarily, many of our congregants have roots in the Hispanic culture.
