Upcoming Events

Theology Reading Group

The theology reading group is starting a new book on Friday afternoons from 4-5:30pm at The Field Pub in Central Square. This fall we will be reading One With Christ: An Evangelical Theology of Salvation by Marcus Peter Johnson, an “accessible introduction [in which] Johnson argues that this neglected doctrine is the lens through which all other facets of salvation should be understood.” Contact nathan@ctkcambridge.org for more information, or just show up!

CTK supports the China Partnership and invites you to join in their prayer movement. Citylife Presbyterian Church is hosting a prayer event for the church in China on October 6, 1:30-3PM at the Revere Hotel Boston Common.
