Christ the King Church was started in November 2003 with
about 40 people from Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in
Hayesville, NC. In January 2004 we affiliated with the
Anglican Mission in America (AMIA), which is an missionary
effort by the Anglican Church of Rwanda, Africa, to reach
130 million unchurched people in America with the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
We began meeting at Union Hill Methodist Church in
Hiawassee. In October 2004 we moved into our own leased
space at The Chatuge Place, and in February 2006, we moved
to Main Street in Hiawassee, GA where we are now located.
As an Anglican church, we maintain the traditions of the
Church of England, in that we are a liturgical and
sacramental church. Being a liturgical church means that our
worship services follow a form of worship (we use a worship
booklet to follow the flow of the service) and involve more
pageantry and more worshipper participation than
non-liturgical services. Being a sacramental church means
that we use outward and visible signs of invisible and
spiritual grace. This involves such things as water for
Baptism, bread and wine for Holy Communion and holy oil
for anointing the sick.
