First Baptist Church, Tulsa

Located at Fourth Street and Cincinnati Avenue, First Baptist Church dates back to Tulsa's earliest days when the town was in Indian Territory and known as “Tulsey Town”. The current church was built in 1927 and has continued to grow over the years. The church is a Gothic structure, which features one large steeple. A full renovation of the cathedral and education wing updated the look of the church. The result is a lovely facility with a footprint of more than 250,000 square feet.
