Missions
Kirk of the Hills believes that the very purpose of the Church is to be a witness of the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ to all humanity. We invest 18-21% of our total budget into missions. We support and assist local, national and international missions.

Christ's mission for the church begins with those closest to us and extends to the entire world, with its variety of cultures and peoples. This mandate is at the very core of the Kirk’s identity as a church. We support missionaries around the world and are personally involved in ministry projects in several different nations and cultures.
Here, in the city of Tulsa, we endeavor to meet needs in many areas of our community. It is our desire to increasingly mobilize our congregation into cross-cultural ministry through short-term teams and long-term mission opportunities as we strategically seek to fulfill God’s call to missions, both individually and as a congregation.
