About Us
The Glenpool church of Christ held its first service at 2:00 p.m. on April 2, 1982, in the Glenpool Community Center located at 94 West 145th Street in Glenpool, Oklahoma. A group of Christians from the 49th and Tacoma congregation in Tulsa met with the minister and his wife.
Since then, the congregation has moved to its current address in 1987, completed expansion of the auditorium in 1996, and added a new fellowship room in 2008. Membership has grown from the small group that started the congregation to a group of about 67 families.
Four ministers have served the congregation, including Benjamin Williams, our current evangelist. Our leadership also includes two elders and five deacons.
Our congregation is faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ. We believe and teach no creed except the Bible. It teaches that it (the gospel of Christ) is God's power to save, (Romans 1:16) because it reveals the "righteousness of God", (God's plan of righteousness, (Romans 1:17) the hearing of which will produce faith, (Romans 10:17) because "without faith, it is impossible to please Him" (Hebrews 11:6). Faith includes believing that Christ is God's only begotten Son, (John 3:18) and confessing Christ before men. (Matthew 10:32-33) Salvation is offered to those who will obey the gospel (1 Peter 4:17-18). Obedience includes repentance and baptism for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38) so that the obedient believer can be added to the church (Acts 2:41).
