Local Outreach 

In 1994, under the leadership of Dr. Connie Cole Jeske, First United Methodist Church of Tulsa began a relationship with Eugene Field Elementary School. This relationship has now seen over 25 years of love, prayer, support, encouragement for students and staff, and tangible acts of love and service.

Through much change in the school and surrounding neighborhood, one thing has remained constant and that is God’s faithfulness. God has been faithful to continually provide everything needed in the way of resources and people power. He has also been faithful to affirm his movement in the neighborhood and his call for us to pray and be available to the work he is doing in West Tulsa.

Serve as a reading partner for a student and meet with them online. 

Pray for a teacher or staff member and send a card once a month.

Love, pray for, and support the Eugene Field teachers and staff. 

Join us (distanced) at the school to prayer walk around the campus and neighborhood.

Kids earn bucks during the week and can spend them in the Big Bucks Store. You can donate gently used items. 

Serve at our once-a-quarter Friday night party for the neighborhood.

Help celebrate honor roll students once a quarter. 

Share the love of Jesus with kids at our Bible Kid's Club on Wednesdays.

Each Reading Partner session takes 45 minutes. They are currently meeting virtually but will shift to in-person at a later date.
