Oklahoma City Churches and Cathedrals

(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - OK, USA)

Oklahoma City has a strong religious heritage and its university was actually established by the United Methodist Church in the early 1900s. The First Baptist Church on North Robinson Avenue is especially notable and as well as hosting regular masses, it also stages classic musicals, with past productions including 'It's a Wonderful Life'.

St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral stands just across from the Oklahoma City National Memorial, where it was founded more than 100 years ago. St. Paul's was badly damaged in the Murrah bombing, although it has since been thoroughly restored and rebuilt.

City Church

Address: 6009 Northwest Expressway, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma OK, 73132, USA
Tel: +1 405 232 3232
This attractive stately church is one of downtown's most handsome structures, particularly when illuminated at night. With a steep set of stairs leading up to the ornate entrance, guarded by six Corinthian columns, the 1910 building boasts a dome and two smaller cupolas, but in contrast to the exterior the interior is somewhat stark and functional.
Open hours: daily
Admission: free

First Baptist Church

Address: 1201 North Robinson Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma OK, 73103, USA
Tel: +1 405 232 4255
Possibly the city's favorite, the First Baptist Church takes up a whole block and is situated directly to the south of the Kindred Hospital. This Gothic sprawl is impressive in size, although some people consider its interior to be austere and somewhat Spartan. Boasting a row of stained-glass windows and a huge pipe organ, the church is worth a visit for its Gothic beauty and enormous wooden-beamed interior.
