Gather & Grow

Coming Soon – A Heart for Community in Tulsa

Right now, I'm in the exciting (and sometimes stretching!) season of relocating to Tulsa, Oklahoma. As I settle in and seek God's leading for the next chapter, my prayer is simple and sincere:  

If it's His will, may In His Image Creations grow beyond an online store into a local ministry that reaches hearts right here in the community — a place where people can gather, create, and grow closer to Jesus together.

I envision Gather & Grow as warm, welcoming spaces where we can:  

-Learn practical, joyful creative skills like knitting, crocheting, sewing, watercolor painting, acrylic painting, and more — hands-on workshops that spark creativity and remind us we're made in the image of the ultimate Creator.  

-Dive into Bible studies that weave those skills with Scripture — exploring how creativity can be an act of worship, a tool for healing, a way to process emotions, and a pathway to deeper spiritual growth.  

-Connect in small groups or classes to share stories, encourage one another, pray together, and rediscover our God-given identity and purpose (Genesis 1:27 — fearfully and wonderfully made to reflect Him).  

Whether you're a beginner picking up a paintbrush for the first time, someone looking to heal through creative expression, or just hungry for fellowship rooted in God's Word — these gatherings would be about grace, rest, and renewal in Christ.

This is still in the prayer-and-preparation stage. I'm trusting God for timing, location, partnerships, and every detail. In the meantime, if this vision resonates with you, feel free to reach out — I'd love to pray with you or keep you updated when things start taking shape.

Thank you for being part of this journey, even from afar. God is faithful, and I'm excited to see how He might use simple acts of creating and gathering to point people to His love, healing, and hope.

With anticipation and hope in Christ,
