We believe that Oklahoma City can be transformed by the Son of God, the Spirit of God, and the People of God. We are committed to encourage and challenge the Church to remember its mission to meet the needs of our community. Our role is to network and mobilize the Church to strategically partner together on behalf of the poor and forgotten among us. 

A wonderful relational network has formed over the past several months. I am excited by the prospect of strengthening this community of churches and kingdom leaders to make Oklahoma City a better place to live for all people in Jesus’ name.

We facilitate a monthly networking lunch on the first Tuesday of every month. We simply want to be consistent in creating space for friendships to take shape and partnerships to be strengthened.

We will be gathering for lunch at the Oklahoma County Juvenile Center located at 5905 N. Classen Court - OKC, OK 73118 on Tuesday, May 4th from 11:45am to 1:00pm.

In conjunction with Foster Care Awareness Month, Deb Shropshire will be sharing with us the stories of the nearly 10,000 kids in the custody of the State of Oklahoma.   Deb Shropshire is a pediatrician at the OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.  Her heart was captivated when, as a medical student, she encountered the complex world of foster children.  That experience changed her career direction, and as a young physician she began to seek opportunities to work with groups that advocate for children who have been abused or neglected.  She provides direct health care service to children at a local shelter and through the Fostering Hope clinic, and she serves as a resource for child welfare workers, CASA volunteers, courts, families, and anyone else who encounters the foster system.  Her greatest desire is to inspire individuals, communities, and the church to rise up and bring an end to generational child maltreatment through physical, emotional, and spiritual healing of this generation of foster kids.

For the Good of The City,
