Appointed in June of 2004, Rev. Charles King comes to Lawton Heights UMC from his previous position as the director of The Wesley Center, a campus ministry in Durant, OK.
He brings with him a passion for reaching unchurched and dechurched people as well as a creative outlook on ministry. He leads a number of small group studies, such as the Companions in Christ study, the Pastor's Book Club, and the Year Through the Bible study.
His sermons are biblically based, seeking to bridge the gap between the biblical world and today's life situations. He is especially interested in the theological issues found in film, the writings of Roberta Bondi, J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lweis.
Under Rev. King's leadership we have renewed our commitments to reach out to the poor, to relieve suffering, and to practice the United Methodist slogan of "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors."
