TCCO Outreach
TCCO Outreach Vision
TCCO Outreach is all about being the hands and feet of Jesus and being “The Church” outside the 4 walls of our physical church building. Outreach is yet another opportunity to live out our church’s vision of “connecting people to Jesus and each other”. By serving together, we are not only bringing the light and love of Jesus to our community in tangible ways, but we are also making deeper connections with those we serve and those we serve with.

We love getting to partner with local organizations and other churches to do projects that support schools, nonprofits, neighborhoods, vulnerable communities, and even other churches in need. There is always a wide variety of projects to sign up for and places to serve. From doing lawn work, to planting, to bagging groceries, to serving a meal, to writing thank you cards for teachers, to paying for people’s loads of laundry, to painting and maintenance work, to cleaning, to building, to praying for people in need...every project is an opportunity to embody the love of Jesus in tangible ways! People get to choose where they would like to serve and who they would like to serve with...with friends, as a couple, as a connect group, and families with children can even serve together!
Love Tulsa is a movement of believers who are passionate about showing the love of Jesus to our community in tangible ways outside the four walls of the church. We believe this outpouring of love through no-strings-attached community service opens the door for real, spiritual transformation.

Global Outreach
Involved International is an organization led by missionaries Stephen & Bailey Kuert that establishes churches and schools in East Africa. They train up church planters who are local to the region to lead these churches. They have currently built more than 325 churches and established more than 40 schools in 3 countries. They also work to provide food distribution programs at some of the schools, as well as water catchment projects.
TCCO has partnered with Involved International to help fund church plants & build churches in Burundi, Africa. It only takes $7,000 to build a church in Burundi, Africa! You can donate at any time by choosing the “Give” option on our website, and designating your donation for “Involved International”.
In November 2024, TCCO raised enough money to help build and plant our very 1st church with Involved International! And then as of October 2025, we raised enough funds to help build and plant our 2nd! We will continue to build as many churches as we can, as the funds come in. Thank you for helping us CONNECT people to Jesus and each other…even across the globe in Burundi!
