Go Local
One of the greatest things we can do as a church is to impact the community around us with the love of Christ. The vision at of Anthem Church is to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to share Jesus with those outside our walls. We are committed to doing our part in making Tulsa a better place to live for everyone. By meeting practical needs and loving the people of Tulsa, we will see lives changed and our city transformed.
One of the ways we plan on reaching our city is by having every one of our small groups find their WHATEVER IT TAKES! Here are some ideas of things to do together, and partners that would love to have you come alongside of them! Below are some ongoing projects around town to give you some ideas.
