Christian Chapel Vision & History
Our Vision
The vision of Christian Chapel is to be a community
of faith that helps
people learn to depend
on Jesus.
Our worship and ministry encourage people to experience the love and grace of Jesus Christ whether they are already Christians or haven’t yet
discovered a relationship with Him.
Our Mission
We want to make a substantial contribution to proclaiming the good news in Tulsa and to the entire world. Therefore we are a community who desire to know God, grow together in Him and then, through
Him, minister to others.
History
Christian Chapel was founded in 1974 as an Assemblies of God fellowship. From the beginning, we
were motivated by the desire to seek God in heartfelt expressive worship, and celebrate our faith in
rich relationship with other believers.
That mission and purpose continues today as our multi-generational congregation pursues serious
discipleship through solid Biblical teaching and preaching in the classical Pentecostal tradition,
and diligent focus of our commitment to world missions. Our vision is clearly seen through our devoted
investment in children and youth ministries, sacrificial giving to missions, outreach to the community
and in our worship services.
The congregation moved into our present worship facilities on 8.5 acres on Easter 1985. In 1995, we
dedicated a new missionary-in-residence home located across the street from the church facility, replacing
the original home we provided for our missionaries purchased in 1981. Church growth facilitated a new youth
center, classrooms and expanded kitchen and parlor in 1997.
Today, because of God's blessings, our $3.5 million dollar facility is debt free. We are now accumulating
funds for a future addition to provide much needed classroom space and a gymnasium. Over the history of our
church, these investments in the local church are in addition to an investment of over $5 million dollars in
giving to missions, emphasizing our passion for the lost and hurting in our world.
