History

In October 2005, SATURDAY NIGHT began meeting as a new church service at The Life Connection Church in Jenks, Oklahoma. It was evident from the start that it was less of a “service” and more of a “community.” Our relationship with “The Life Connection” (our parent church) has always been a healthy one. We still “connect” with them on a regular basis. In the summer of 2007, it was apparent that SATURDAY NIGHT was called out as its own community. We also sensed that it was necessary to move to a different area of town. In November of ’07, SATURDAY NIGHT COMMUNITY CHURCH was formally commissioned as a church plant of The Life Connection. In February ’08, after months of searching for a new worship space, SATURDAY NIGHT moved into the Agora Marketplace at 51st and Memorial in Tulsa.

In October ’10, we have renamed ourselves “Emmaus Road Church” because we have resonated so strongly with the story of Luke 24. We spent some time in our own space in downtown Tulsa and are now meeting at Christ Church.

These are general highlights of major events that have happened in the life of our church. However, the most important part of our history is our own stories. Our community has celebrated marriages, dedications, new jobs, and new babies. We have also mourned losses, cried together, and seen some of our friends move away. You don’t get to know a church by reading its website. We find God in the midst of our relationships.
