      General note

      Christ the King was founded through the initiative of the American Missions Board in cooperation with Rev. William Foege of Emmanuel Lutheran in Walla Walla. Christ the King began with a nucleus of Emmanuel members who lived in Oregon but worshipped at Emmanuel since an ALC congregation was not present in either Milton or Freewater. Milton did have a Missouri Synod congregation which was forced to disband shortly before Christ the King was organized. Richared Nieman, founding pastor of Christ the King, was a son of Emmanuel of Walla Walla until age 15. In 1982 a tracker pipe organ was installed. The physical plant was almost doubled in size in 1984 with the addition and expansion of classrooms, kitchen, offices and fellowship hall.
