  • BAptism Sundays: May 3rd and may 24th


    We’re celebrating baptism at OKC First on May 3 and May 24, and we would love for you to be part of it.

    Baptism is a sacred and meaningful step in the life of faith. It is a moment where we remember who we are and whose we are.

    “In the waters of baptism, we celebrate that God has chosen us. In the waters of baptism we are given a new identity and a new community, and in the waters of baptism we are given a calling to be part of a movement to image and embody the character and nature of God.”
    — Rev. Jon Middendorf

    If you are interested in being baptized, send an email to info@okcfirst.com with the subject line Baptism, and a member of our staff will reach out to you.

    There is a place for you in this story.





  • Dinner & a Book w/ pastor jon

    I'd like to invite you to read an important book with me. A More Christlike God, written by Brad Jersak, has captured my imagination like few books in recent memory. If you're up for it, please grab the book, read it at your leisure, and then let's get together on Wednesday night, May 13, from 6pm to 8pm for dinner and a long discussion.

    -If interested, please email info@okcfirst.com or jon@okcfirst.com. I'll arrange for a place to eat and have our great discussion. Looking forward to it! - Pastor Jon

  • Re-Membership SEries Playlist

    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:
    👉 Watch the Re-Membership Series

    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.
