About Christ Church on Harvard

Christ Church on Harvard is a 70-year-old church with a rich past, a vibrant present, and a bright future in Midtown Tulsa in the Wesleyan/Methodist tradition. Christ Church is a full-service church that has a wide variety of ministries that connect people to God through a variety of ministries and opportunities.

Christ Church is an innovative church that has continually adapted to changing times and needs. Currently, the church is going through a leadership transition as the Lead Pastor of 19 years is retiring, and the current associate pastor is becoming the new Lead Pastor. The church is restructuring and reorienting its staff structure to best reach the next generation and to adapt to the gifts and strength of current leadership.

Since 1969, the church has only had two Lead Pastors, and that continuity has created a healthy church and staff. The church is full of leaders who take their roles and their calling seriously, but do not take themselves too seriously. Joy, laughter, and delight permeate the classrooms, hallways, and sanctuary of the church.
