John 3:16 Mission

Resources for Families and Children:

If you’re looking for safe, fun, and free alternative activities for your family, or support as you face the modern challenges Tulsa families must overcome every day, we want to help. At the John 3:16 Mission Family & Youth Center, we believe that the foundation of our community rests on the success of local families.

We want your children to grow up in a safe environment, equipped for living fulfilling lives. We want you to feel supported as you raise the next generation, because our future is in the hands of our children. You don’t have to go through life alone – our family is here for yours. All students from kindergarten to high school, and even parents, can grow closer together and become the amazing people God has created you to be.

If you are a homeless man who needs a place to stay overnight, John 3:16 Mission is here to help you. Our shelter doors are open to all men provided you follow the rules.

The Mission’s overnight shelter is located at 506 N. Cheyenne Ave. This is just off of North Denver Ave. in downtown Tulsa. The Mission is across the street from the David L. Moss Correctional Facility (Tulsa Jail) and immediately adjacent to the IDL overpass.
