About Us
Our beliefs
The Heart of the Church
Acts 2:42-47
We draw the blueprint for our church community from the first disciples represented in scripture. Acts 2 speaks of a church that was devoted to God and one another through miracles, hospitality, and mission. We strive to be that church today, acting righteously and being a blessing to our city in all matters, whether alone or gathered together.
Worship
John 4:23-24
We believe that God is worthy of our full, undivided worship. God enjoys our praise as much as we enjoy praising him and so we strive to honor him in truth and sincerity as we worship in reverence.
Prayer
Ephesians 3:16-21
Through spiritual practices we are able to participate in God's divine work here on earth. We devote ourselves to prayer and fasting for our city and for one another, knowing God is an enthusiastic dreamer and can do much more than we ask or imagine.
Mission
Matthew 9:35-38
We desire to be the "few workers" of Matthew 9 in our communities- ministering, teaching, preaching, and healing with the deep compassion of Jesus. We believe in working hard with great love, carried on by faith in God's presence, leadership, love, and blessing.

Logan & Nikki Igarta
OU campus leaders
Logan and Nikki were married and moved to Oklahoma in 2018. They currently serve as the campus leaders for the OKC Church's campus ministry at OU. They both graduated from the University of North Texas in Denton, Logan with a degree in music education and Nikki with her degree in sociology. They felt called to seek a life serving the church after being inspired by their own campus ministry experience. At OU they strive to create an environment of love, friendship, and deep connection with Jesus.
On a day-off Nikki can be found catching up on reading for a book club while Logan plays video games. They both love spending quality time with friends and family- and recently they have been preparing for their first baby, due in 2021!
