Testimonials
"Along with my office colleague I was church-shopping and visited Christ the King Lutheran Church on Route 27. To my great surprise we were greeted by a South Asian - Indian pastor who also happened to be the preacher on that sunday morning service. The (American) senior pastor and the rest of the congregation welcomed us with such warmth and love. It was then we realized that we landed in the right place! For the past couple of years we were blessed abundantly and our excitement keeps growing beyond leaps and bounds!!"
