Bixby Group Organized as Company

BIXBY, OKLA. – The vision to plant a new church in Bixby began in 2023, when it was first presented to the board of the Tulsa Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church. On June 1, 2024, ministry activities officially launched with an initial gathering of 45 people. The group began by renting a worship space for one year and later transitioned to a second location, where it currently meets on Sabbaths and Tuesdays.

On Jan. 3, after a year-and-a-half of ministry, the group was officially organized as a company, a recognized step toward becoming a fully organized church. What began with 10 families who accepted the challenge—following a season of prayerful planning in partnership with the Tulsa Spanish church and under the leadership of Leo Castillo—has now grown significantly. More than 70 members have signed a commitment expressing their desire to be part of the new faith community.

The Bixby Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Company offers a full range of ministries, including adult and children’s Sabbath School, divine worship services, a youth program, midweek worship and both Adventurer and Pathfinder clubs.

Members expressed gratitude to God, the families who make up the company, Hispanic coordinator Luis Prieto and conference administrators for helping make the vision a reality. They continue to pray for next steps, including securing a permanent church building and, in God’s time, being organized as a church.
