The Oklahoma City International Church of Christ is a growing family of believers. We are known as a loving, generous, close-knit group of disciples. We believe that over the years God has been preparing us for not only growth numerically but also as a pillar church in heart of the United States.
We have been consistently adding new brothers and sisters for the past few months and want to glorify God with our continued growth. We are looking for a full-time ministry couple to be part of accelerating that growth and continuing to build upon our foundation of being part of God’s family. About OKC:
Oklahoma City is the largest city in Oklahoma with a metro population of 1.2 million people and growing. Our vibrant community is the home to a number of incredible college campuses like the University of Oklahoma (30,000 students) and University of Central Oklahoma (15,000 students). There is also Oklahoma State University 1 hour North (22,000). Oklahoma City is home to many large corporations like Dell, General Dynamics, Chesapeake Energy, Devon Energy, Sonic Corporation, and Dollar/Thrifty Rent A Car. We have a growing arts community and have had billions of dollars put into revitalizing our downtown area which boasts a riverwalk, AAA baseball team, and entertainment district. Oh and by the way… We also have the OKC Thunder – NBA Western Conference Champions.
The Oklahoma City church is united with our group of churches in Texas and has been faithfully supporting Eurasian Missions for many years. One of the members of the church in the beginning was Tom and Ada Beam, who has a foundation set up in the Boston Church for world missions. The church is made up of an incredibly diverse group of disciples with our ministries arrange by Marrieds, Singles, Campus, and Youth and Family.
The Position
We are looking for a married couple with a marriage built upon the love of Christ that will help the OKC Church to grow. The specific duties will be made up of preaching the word of God powerfully, training new and existing leadership, teaching the Bible diligently to the lost, as well as encouraging and inspiring those around them. Leadership the way Paul describes in Timothy in 2 Timothy 2 is about humble service and sacrifice. Jesus also uses the example of being a shepherd that leads, feeds, nurtures, protects, comforts, corrects his flock.
We are looking for a couple with the following qualities:
§ Humility (Luke 22:26, Phil 2:3-4) – This quality speaks to the couple’s recognition that ultimately God is in control and that we need to humbly bow before him first before anything else. This quality also speaks to desire to grow, seek input, and to serve sacrificially.
§ Communication and Vision – As we look ahead to the future, we believe God is building a great future for the OKC Church. This quality speaks to the couple’s ability to communicate that dream and then organize and energize the church to see that we are moving toward that vision.
§ Faith Expressing Itself Through Love (Gal 5:6) – Without love, everything we do gains us nothing (1 Cor 13:1-3). This quality relates to the conviction and motivation of the couple starting first and foremost with their love for God and to do what pleases him. This also relates to the couple’s love for others – first to each other, then to the church, and the lost.
