The Cole Community Center is a ministry of OKC First Church of the Nazarene and is currently under construction. As an entrant in the First Annual Cole Community Center 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run, your entry fee goes to support our three-part vision:

 

Educational. There will be spaces for teaching and learning. Our students will have ample space to meet, learn and grow. Our ongoing literacy, ESL and Financial Peace classes will benefit from increased space, technological capabilities and increased exposure to our community. Our facility will allow us to offer these and other educational opportunities as we become aware of specific needs.

 

Recreational. We will not underestimate the power and promise of recreation. The center will have ample room and quality equipment to facilitate all kinds of sports and physical activities. We will encourage and facilitate the type of community-building and bonding that will occur as a result of recreation and sportsmanship. We will teach and encourage health living and wellness as we make our building available for our neighbors of all ages.

 

Transformational. The Cole Community Center will be a place for change. We recognize that entire neighborhoods and communities can be transformed when individual lives are changed. Physical needs, such as food, will be handled through our ongoing resource known as the Hope Box Pantry. Celebrate Recovery and small group activities will serve the emotional and social needs of our community. This will be a safe place to confront individual needs in a welcomed environment.

 

We are committed to provide education, recreation and transformation opportunities so individual lives are changed for the better.

 

Hope is in the neighborhood. Our neighborhood.
