Community Outreach

Community Outreach is at the heart of what we do at Trinity Episcopal Church Tulsa. Our church in Tulsa is deeply committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those around us, through a wide range of outreach activities. From food drives and clothing donations to supporting local shelters and international missions, our outreach programs are designed to extend God's love to those in need. We believe in the power of community service to change lives, both for those receiving support and those giving it.

Our volunteers and church members work tirelessly to identify the needs within the Tulsa community and beyond, organizing regular events and initiatives that make a tangible difference. Whether you're looking to lend a hand or are in need of support, Trinity Episcopal Church Tulsa's Community Outreach programs offer opportunities to connect, serve, and grow together in faith and service. Join us as we strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus, reaching out with compassion and love.
