Local Outreach Initiatives

Outreach is one of our greatest calls as Christians. We are invited, by Jesus, to be his hands and feet–his love on display–to the communities around us. Sometimes outreach looks like loving one's family, sometimes it looks like showing kindness to a stranger, a lot of times it looks like walking alongside a friend, coworker, or mentee. Regardless of what outreach looks like, it is an invitation to partner with Christ in the work he wants to do in you and me and those in the community.
We are all invited to live the Isaiah 58 call to take care of those in need, fight for justice, and love compassionately. We all bring different gifts, talents, abilities and life experiences, all of which are needed in reaching out to those in need and in our communities. Would you accept the invitation and join us?

Stand in the Gap

Life Launch mentor teams interrupt the cycles of abandonment, poverty, and trauma that these young adults have experienced by creating patterns of safety, trust, and respect. 

Family Promise

Family Promise is the only shelter in Tulsa for whole families experiencing homelessness. First Methodist provides meals for three to four weeks a year. Volunteers help cook meals or buy groceries for a family in need.

Kairos

Kairos ministers to women in prison by speaking about identity and life in Christ. Each year, our church bakes 300 dozen cookies to send as gifts during their retreat weekends. You can volunteer for the retreat or help bake.

Restore Hope

Restore Hope helps prevent homelessness and fight hunger. Volunteer opportunities are currently limited due to COVID-19.
