Christmas Eve is coming, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Join us on Christmas Eve for a joyful evening at OKC First. Come early at 5:15 PM for a hot chocolate bar, time to mingle, and photos together before our 6:00 PM Christmas Eve service filled with candlelight and carols.

Together we’ll sing, light candles, and celebrate the birth of our Savior.

If you’re unable to join us in person, the service will be livestreamed at
okcfirst.online.church

We’ve been waiting. The wonder of Christmas is almost here.
All are welcome. No childcare will be provided as we invite people of all ages to gather for this meaningful night.

Join the OKC First Church Advent Choir and help us fill the sanctuary with beautiful music as we celebrate the coming of Christ together.

Rehearsals are each Sunday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. in the Parlor.

If you’re new and would like to join us, we’d love to have you! Just send us a quick note at info@okcfirst.com.

We can’t wait to sing, worship, and share the spirit of Christmas with you!

This fall we took three weeks to remember who we are and who God is calling us to be. Our Re-Membership series walked us through the call to Do No Harm, Do Good, and Stay in Love with God—an invitation to live deeply into the grace and life of this community.

If you missed a week, or if you’d like to revisit the series, you can watch all three messages on our YouTube playlist here:

This content will also serve as a foundation for our Re-membership journey at OKC First, so we’d love for you to take part.

Micah_Needs_List_winter.pdf

Micah is a non-profit that ministers to those experiencing homelessness in the underserved northwest part of our city. They were hosted here at OKC First until June when they opened a drop-in day shelter around the corner on Meridian!  

 Every Sunday after church, since December, a team of OKC First volunteers goes across the street to a tent encampment. They take vital supplies and extend friendship and dignity to our neighbors experiencing homelessness. 

The Micah Community Center opened in June and is open three part time days a week. This is the only homelessness services facility west of I-44!! They provide respite from the weather, a hot meal, device charging, TV lounge, and personal care items. Showers and laundry service are coming soon. They need volunteers, resource donations, and financial support! 

You can join the Micah Movement! To participate in our outreach team or volunteer at the Micah Center: contact Alissa Gilmore. Donate funds on the church's giving site and select Micah, or at www.mcmokc.org/donate. And contribute most needed items. 

Store this number in your phone: 405-498-2009. If you encounter a person experiencing homelessness in the area near the church, give them the number to call/text our Micah team. It is NOT an emergency number; they may need to leave a message. They have Center invite cards if you would like to keep some handy in your car to give out. 

Help us serve our community on Friday afternoons from 1:00-2:00. We need volunteers, monetary donations, and 4 specific food items: cereal, peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti pasta, and pasta sauce. You can drop any of these items off at the church. For questions or to volunteer contact Jayden: Jayden@okcfirst.com.

ONE exists to positively impact OKC by providing programs that enable child and adolescent development. Hosted in OKC First’s Cole Community Center (CCC), we work within our community to provide much-needed after-school support, summer camps, tutoring and mentoring for kids, and school supply assistance. Our aim is to meet a felt need and have fun with the kinds in our community at the same time. Visit www.oneokc.org for ways to volunteer and give financially.
