Tulsa County churches

A Fifth Good Reason to Attend John Knox Presbyterian Church in Tulsa:
Mission

Folks in Tulsa, Oklahoma have lots of things they can do with their time. Time is, after all, a gift we can use in a variety of ways. So why should you come to John Knox Presbyterian Church, one of many Tulsa county churches, on Sunday mornings? That is a fair question that deserves a good answer.

One thing John Knox Presbyterian Church, one of many Tulsa county churches, does particularly well involves our mission work in Tulsa, Mississippi, Tennessee, and overseas. The members of this congregation have found a number of ways to become involved in the Tulsa community, Tulsa churches, and beyond. That shouldn’t surprise you. Presbyterians believe that God has chosen us to be a part of His family for a specific purpose: to serve God and God’s people.

John Knox Presbyterian Church, one of Tulsa Christian churches, participates in Tulsa’s chapter of Habitat for Humanity. In addition, we serve Tulsa by participating in Neighbors Along the Line, a ministry to the homeless that a pastor from John Knox Presbyterian Church, one of Tulsa Presbyterian churches, started more than thirty years ago.

Presbyterians also believe in being a part of a larger, connectional church. That is why we have created a sister-church relationship with First-Trinity Presbyterian Church in Laurel, Mississippi. John Knox Presbyterian Church began that ministry as a response to Hurricane Katrina. We have been to Laurel once (October 2005), will return this spring (March 2006), and will continue to return to Laurel each year to participate in the ministries of compassion that First-Trinity Presbyterian Church carries out in Laurel.

The young people of John Knox Presbyterian Church, one of Tulsa county churches, also participate in our mission ministries. Each summer they go to Tennessee to participate in Mt. T.O.P. (Tennessee Outreach Project). In that ministry our young people repair the homes of the residents of the Cumberland Plateau.

Finally, John Knox Presbyterian Church has members who have participated in ministries in places like

• Mexico
• Lithuania
• Malawi.

I hope that you can see that John Knox Presbyterian Church has committed itself and its members to service that helps the Tulsa community and beyond. Join us in that work.

So when you are looking for a church among many Oklahoma Presbyterian churches, where you can serve God’s people and receive a warm welcome, think John Knox Presbyterian Church in Tulsa Oklahoma. See you on Sunday.
