Thanks for visiting First Church on the web. First church is a unique and dynamic fellowship of real people committed to Christ and to helping you experience the real love and real life of Jesus. Maybe you’re thinking about visiting First Church, or you’re just curious about church, or God, or what’s going on down here… whatever the reason, please know you’re welcome here! We hope you enjoy your visit through our website, but please don’t stop there! Join us at any of our Sunday worship experiences or mid-week opportunities. Read on for answers to some of our frequently asked questions.
Where are you located? Where do I park?
Located in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City, we are easy to find on the east side of the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial at the corner of NW 5th and Robinson (click here for a Mapquest view). A VIP welcome awaits you at First Church. The “upper” parking lot on the east side of the sanctuary (off of 5th street) reserves a special place for our guests. Friendly greeters will welcome you at the door and direct you to our sanctuary and classrooms. And don’t hesitate to stop by our Welcome Center for more information or directions.
What are your service times?
Our Sunday morning worship experiences start at 9:00am with Holy Communion offered every week in our chapel. We have two worship opportunities at 9:30am and 10:45am in the sanctuary. Both experiences offer music from a wide variety of styles, all used to help prepare you for what God has in store, and to open your heart to the sincere and dynamic message from God’s Word given by Rev. McAdow.
Student Ministries (6th through 12th grade) meet on Sundays at 9:00am for Jesus University on the 
third floor, and adult and children’s Sunday school classes are offered at 9:30am (click here for PDFs of room locations.)
Wednesday nights offer fun, fellowship, and learning for all ages. We gather for a delicious home cooked dinner from 5:30-6:15pm, followed by children, youth, and adult classes. Children (age birth through 5th grade) have activities on the first floor beginning at 6:10pm. Our Student Ministries (for grades 6 through 12) meets on the third floor for their “Elevate” worship experience and fellowship beginning at 6:15pm. Adult classes start at 6:30pm.
Where do I take my children?
Excellent childcare is provided at every service and activity at First Church. We provide a safe, fun, and Spirit-filled environment for children, birth through 5th grade. Our desire is to help kids see themselves as children of God, encourage them to live a life of truth, and introduce them to the awesome love of Jesus. Our children’s department is located on the first floor of our education wing. You can easily access this area by entering the east door off of our lower (4th Street) parking lot.
Lighthouse Café:
Every Sunday morning, from 8:30-10:30am, the Lighthouse Café serves up delicious coffee, pastries, and assorted treats to satisfy hungry First Church members and guests. During your visit please stop by Harris Hall on the second floor for a hot cup of coffee and a warm helping of hospitality. A love offering is accepted to cover the cost of food and supplies.
