  • Ash WEdnesday, February 18th

    As we conclude the season of Epiphany and embark on the solemn journey of Lent, we invite you to join us for a deeply meaningful Ash Wednesday service, beginning at 6:30 PM, on Wednesday February 18th. 


    This service is a sacred time for reflection, confession, and repentance. In this moment of communal honesty, where we own our failures and frailties, we also discover the courage to face ourselves and the world. 

    It's not easy to acknowledge our brokenness, yet it is in this very act that we find the boundless grace of God…grace that chooses us, knows us, and renews us. 


    At the conclusion of the service, worshippers will be invited to have ashes imposed on their foreheads, receive the Eucharist, and/or pray at an altar. All are welcome to join in this contemplative gathering. Childcare for Nursery and Pre-School will be provided.


    The sanctuary will also be open at Noon through the lunch hour for personal prayer and reflection.

  • 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:

    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.
