Christ the King Lutheran Church
Christ the King Lutheran Church was organized on Easter Sunday, 1955, in Chicago's Loop as a member of the Augustana Synod. Its original location from 1955 to June 1968 was at an office building at 327 South LaSalle St., on the same floor as a variety of offices of both the Augustana Synod and the United Lutheran Church in America, including the boards of American Missions.
It later moved to 25 W. Jackson Boulevard at Plymouth Court, where it operated a street level service called King's Corner from Feb. 1966, as well as having a sanctuary and offices on the second floor from Sept. 1969 to fall 1976.
From 1976 to 1977 the congregation was located at 110 South Dearborn Street, and in 1977 it moved to the sixth floor of 202 South State Street. In 1982 it moved to 18 S. Michigan Ave., Suite 602. It is currently located at 1301 S. Wabash Ave.
