Ask A Mormon: Can you be baptized after death?

Mormons believe that “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). He loves all of his children, regardless of when or where they were born. We also believe that baptism, and the covenants we make at baptism, are stepping stones on the path to salvation and exaltation.

Ask A Mormon: Do Mormons believe they will become gods?

Latter-day Saints believe that every life — our spirits, our souls, the essence of who we are — is eternal.

Christ the King Anglican Church is located at 2103 E. Mission Ave.

After renting, and outgrowing, various spaces throughout town Christ the King Anglican Church is finally settling into its new home at 2103 E. Mission Ave.

The church began in 2005 when three local families left their Episcopal churches because of theological disagreements. Since then the congregation’s grown to include about 70 people, said the Rev. Jerry Cimijotti, who began leading the church in 2006.

It’s the only church in Spokane belonging to the Anglican Church in North America, which is a conservative emerging Province in the global Anglican Communion.

Cimijotti said the congregation is made of a mix of people of all ages. Sunday services, which are at 10:15 a.m., include traditional worship and a liturgy that’s easy for visitors to follow along with.

In the fall Christ the King will start hosting Third Thursdays, which will feature modern liturgical music, Cimijotti said.

He said Christ the King is a good fit for people seeking a church that’s rooted both in faith and in history.

“We’re a traditional church for the 21st Century,” Cimijotti said. “We’re evangelical, catholic and traditional, yet we’re contemporary.”

The congregation is in the process of purchasing their current building, which was formerly a Presbyterian church. They moved into the worship space in January.

Cimijotti said the church is focused on building bridges with its neighbors and hopes to find ways to get more Gonzaga students engaged in their ministry.

“We’re trying to get more involved with the life of this community,” he said. “We’re excited about being here. We want to get established in this community and get to know one another.”

He hopes to start a community garden in the near future and said the church is already active in helping other ministries, including Union Gospel Mission, Anglican Action and Mission Community Outreach Center.
