Christ the King was established as a parish in 1974. Prior to 1974, Catholics living in Abingdon met each other at homes and churches in Marion and Bristol. Later, as the parish grew St. John's Lutheran Church allowed the fledgling parish to use its facilities.
The present building was built in 1983. Within a few years the parish hall was added. The parish has shared a pastor with the Marion community of St. John's. The pastor has residence in both towns. At present, the parishioners do parish work. The priest is the only paid staff therefore volunteers are necessary for the parish to function.
