Love Tulsa

Love Tulsa Sunday – May 1st, 2022

Twice a year, we cancel our church services to go and be the church in our city. It’s one of our favorite times of the year, as we gather in the morning to get in our teams, eat a quick breakfast, then disperse for a morning of service outreach.

2022 Project List

River Parks Clean Up
We will be cleaning up trash along the east riverbank of the arkansas river between 11th and 31st street. If we happen to see any houseless Tulsans living in the area, we will do our best to provide them with resources, food, and offer to clean up their encampents of litter and debris. The riverbank is one of the most important parts of our rivers ecosystem and it is very neglected.

Hope Valley Houseless Neighbor Outreach
We’re serving a hot lunch and care packages to our unhoused neighbors in the Hope Valley (61st and Peoria) area. We’ll meet at the City Church parking lot and make handwritten cards and assemble care packages with essential items (toiletries, bandages, socks, bibles, etc). Then we’ll carpool to the Hope Valley, set up some tables with lunch options, and serve meals while we talk, pray, and make connections with folks.

Sow Into Love Tulsa

This Summer in 2020, City Church set aside $10,000 to pour into our local communities and great city of Tulsa. We believe in helping our neighbors practically, loving them well and preaching the Gospel of Jesus all go hand-in-hand. Your generosity helps to make all this possible, thank you for sowing into the Kingdom of God!
