After 40 years attending another church, we were hesitant to make a change. But from our first visit to Gethsemane Baptist Church three years ago, we knew we had found something special. The service programs perfectly aligned with our desire to give back to the Tulsa community in our retirement years. We've participated in food drives, home repairs for elderly neighbors, and transportation assistance. The leadership at GBC truly understands what it means to serve others with dignity and respect. At our age, finding a church that values both tradition and practical service is a blessing.

As a single father raising two teenagers, I needed a church that would help strengthen our family's spiritual foundation. Gethsemane Baptist Church has been that and more. The ministry provides meaningful lessons my kids can relate to, while the support from other church members has been invaluable. What I appreciate most is how GBC balances spiritual teaching with real-world application. They understand that faith needs to work in everyday life. After attending for over a year, I've seen positive changes in my children's outlook and behavior. Gethsemane truly serves the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.

When my husband passed away five years ago, I felt lost and alone. The compassionate outreach from Gethsemane Baptist Church helped me through the darkest time of my life. Keria Burkhalter especially took me under her wing, checking in regularly and making sure I remained connected to community. The grief support I received was never pushy, just genuinely caring. Now I volunteer with their outreach program, helping others who are going through similar struggles. This church understands that serving others isn't just about meeting physical needs - it's about walking alongside people through all of life's challenges. GBC doesn't just preach about love; they demonstrate it daily.
