Thursday Night Bible Study leaders:
Kara Childs
Kara grew up in Wilmington, NC. She married her high school sweetheart, Nathan, in 1999. They have 2 girls, Kierstin and Kailee, and are happy to be part of the ministry of Christ the King. Kara has worked as a Bookkeeper for her family owned business since 1997. In 2005 she felt called to begin the journey of homeschooling. By God’s grace it’s been a grand adventure. Kara began battling with chronic pain in 2011 and after 2 neck surgeries is limited on much activity. However, she is thankful for a husband that keeps her laughing and the women’s ministry that allows her to serve where she’s able.

After working for 26 years at Bonclarken Conference Center, the Lord brought Holly to Wilmington in 2020. By God’s providential hand, Hollyand Blake were led to Christ the King and consider it a privilege to serve alongside their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
Wednesday Morning Bible Study Leaders:
Sandy Barton
Things I love: Jesus, my husband of 30+ years, my four adult children, and living on the NC coast. Things I enjoy: reading, writing, long conversations, hospitality, gardening, and coastal living. Things I detest: heat, humidity, exercise, and seafood.
Anamarie Pattison
Anamarie grew up in NOVA (Northern Virginia), where she was a member of the local PCA church for more than twenty-five years. By God’s grace she grew up in a Christian home and came to saving faith in Christ at an early age. Since childhood she has been learning to rejoice in her sufferings, knowing that God sovereignly sanctifies His children through the God-ordained trials of this life. Romans 5:3-5 has been particularly encouraging to her. In these verses we are reminded that followers of Christ can “rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”
Anamarie attended Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia where she met, and later married her husband, Tim. She and Tim have five children and have been living in Wilmington for over ten years. It has been an honor and our pleasure to have been a part of Christ the King since its inception. She enjoys reading on several topics, baking (especially when it turns out well), making her own tinctures, foraging for nutrition sake, going to the beach and traveling with the family. Tim serves as an elder and she works with the Wednesday morning women’s Bible study. We enjoy practicing hospitality, especially over a good meal. We hope to get to know you better!
