First Church Foundation birthday club kickoff

First Church Foundation birthday club kickoff

Katie Williams

The First Presbyterian Church of Tulsa Foundation trustees want everyone to be a part of the Foundation and have created a birthday club. In 2023, our goal for every member or friend of the congregation to become a part of the foundation by donating the amount in dollars equal to their age each year. Young and old and in between, we want everyone to celebrate the blessing of life and share blessings with the foundation that will live in perpetuity.

The money raised will be a part of the foundation’s Forward Fund … an integral part of the life of the church which supports programs for everyone from infants to those in homebound care.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me ... that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.”
– John 15:1-2

The First Presbyterian Tulsa Foundation was established in 1962 with 88 shares of stock and has grown over the last 50 years to an endowment more than $20 million. Every gift to the foundation by a member of our Church is invested and managed by the Foundation Trustees and will grow over time. In the last 25 years, the foundation has distributed more than $11 million to our Church.

It’s easy to join by donating your age online at FirstChurchTulsa.org/Give and select “Make a donation.” Use the pull-down menu to find “Birthday Club” and you’re done. If you drop off or send a check, please note “Foundation Birthday Club” in the memo section. To learn more about the birthday club or the foundation call Katie Williams at 918-292-9063.
