In 1996, Christ's Church of the Valley found a permanent home, after raising over $1 million in one day to purchase 50 acres of land in the northwest Phoenix. For the first four years on the new property, Christ's Church of the Valley held services in a ‘sprung’ structure with seating for 1,100.
The cathedral, dedicated in 1939, was designed in the Gothic Revival style and was constructed over a two-year period. Christ the King has a large number of stained glass windows created by the Willets Studios. Over the decades, the parish has added a convent, chapel, parish center and auditorium/gymnasium to the cathedral property.
