History

During the Post War years New Providence experienced a population increase in the southern area of Nassau. The area south of Wulff Road increased in residents from other areas of Nassau and the Family Islands.

Seeing this need Canon John Calnan the Rector of St. Barnabas along with its members and the Diocese established a presence in Ridgeland Park to enable the pastoral care and nurturing of the people of God to take place. So the church Christ The King was founded and ever since has grown from strength to strength.

Since our foundation we have had four incumbents: Canon John Calnan, Archdeacon Murillo Bonaby, Father Samuel Sturrup and Archdeacon Ranfurly Brown.

In 1999 the church was fully renovated. The roof was removed, tiles taken up, the steeple raised, all seating were refinished and new stained glass windows installed. Finally, In April 2000 the church was rededicated. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful churches in Nassau.
