WHAT LED US TO START MOSAIC BAPTIST CHURCH?
Working in South Texas exposed us
to the need for multicultural church
ministry. Many Hispanic families in
the United States are mixed-language
families where parents or grandparents
often speak Spanish, while children and
grandchildren prefer English. We desire
to plant a church where we can minister
to multigenerational, multilingual, and
even multicultural families.
Statistics show the most effective way
to reach multicultural areas, as well as
people who do not have a relationship
with Jesus, is through new churches.
We are starting Mosaic Baptist Church
to intentionally reach the people in
Oklahoma City who are still in need of
a relationship with Jesus Christ and to
form a church that can be a body and
place of worship for bilingual families.
We are incredibly excited to see what
God does in and through us!
We are not planting Mosaic because we
believe there are no faithful churches in
Oklahoma City. We are planting Mosaic
because we believe there needs to be
more faithful churches in Oklahoma
City. We hope and pray as you learn
more about Mosaic Baptist Church that
you will keep us in your prayers, that
you will consider financially supporting
this mission, and even consider joining
our launch team.
With much thanks,
Joshua, Mayra, and Athan

WHY PLANT A CHURCH IN
SOUTH OKLAHOMA CITY?
IT’S GROWING

Oklahoma City is the capital and largest city of

the state of Oklahoma. It is a very attractive city
with a growing economy featuring strong energy
and oil sectors as well as information technology,
manufacturing, healthcare services, and more
than 20 universities.

Wheeler District is a 150- acre urban development

situated on the south bank of the Oklahoma River.
With plans for over 600 homes, 1,500 condos
and apartments, and 300,000 square feet of
merchant and maker space, Wheeler represents
the creation of an entirely new urban district in
South Oklahoma City.

Becasue of the $132 million development of

Scissortail Park along the river, the Bricktown
area with the river canal and ballpark, and the
continuing development of the light rail system
just across the river, many young families are
moving into the South Oklahoma City area.

 CORE VALUES

DEVOTION TO SCRIPTURE
We believe Scripture is the Word of God and the primary means by
which God has chosen to make Himself known to all people. It is the
final authority for all aspects of life, faith, conduct, and ministry. As
Created by farra nugraha
from the Noun Project

such, we seek to make Scripture the foundation for the preaching and
teaching ministry of the church and believe that expository preaching
and teaching best honors the text of Scripture. We are also committed to
read, memorize, and meditate on the Scriptures in our personal lives so
that we may know God better.
(Psalms 119; John 17:17; 1 Thess 2:13; 2 Tim 3:16-17; Heb 4:12;
2 Pet 1:16-21)

GOSPEL CENTRIC
We believe that the Gospel is central to how we as sinful people may
know God, be reconciled to God, and live our lives for God. Therefore, our
Created by Creative Stall theology, ministry philosophy, biblical interpretation, preaching, singing
from the Noun Project
and worship, counseling, and outreach efforts are centered on the person
and work of Jesus Christ.
(Lk 24:27,44; Jn 1:1-18; Gal 4:4-7; Eph 2:1-10; Col 3:15-17; 2 Cor 5:14-15;
Heb 1:1-4)

COMMUNITY & MEMBERSHIP

We believe that the Christian life is not meant to be lived in isolation but
in a committed, biblical community with other believers. We are a family
and the body of Christ. Therefore, we are committed to devoted church

from the Noun Project

membership, praying for one another, sacrificially serving one another,

encouraging one another, holding each other accountable, and discipling
one another.
(Acts 2:42-47; Eph 4:15-16; 1 Thess 5:11; James 5:16; Heb 10:24-25)

INTENTIONAL EVANGELISM
We believe that humanity is in a desperately fallen state without any hope
of salvation apart from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We also believe that
Jesus commissioned His Church to proclaim this Gospel to all nations,
and we see Jesus model evangelism through intentional conversations
and relationships with lost people. Therefore, we will clearly and openly
articulate the gospel to anyone who will listen in the hopes that they will
be saved, while realizing their conversion is ultimately up to God.

COMMITMENT TO KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT

We believe God desires to have the gospel preached to every tribe,
tongue, and nation so that all may hear the good news of the Gospel and Created by Tinashe Mugayi
from the Noun Project

that people may come to faith in the Son. Therefore, we are committed to
consistently devote significant personal, spiritual, and financial resources
toward this end, including equipping and sending missionaries, planting
churches, and supporting gospel outreach initiatives.
(Matt 28:18-20; Acts 1:7-8; Rom 10:11-15; Phil 4:15-20; Rev 5:9-14)

MERCY & JUSTICE

We believe that every person has inherent dignity because he or she
is created in the image of God. Therefore, we seek to honor and value
every image bearer by being committed to serving the marginalized and
oppressed, bringing relief to the needy, working for the reconciliation and

OPERATIONS

Being an inner-city church plant requires a lot of resources and a lot of initial dependence
on outside supporters. Oklahoma City can be an expensive area in which to live, find a
gathering space, and operate as an organization. Therefore, we need to raise an average
of $136,000 annually in order to compensate a full-time pastor, secure a space to gather
together on Sundays, purchase start-up equipment, and support ministry and mission work.
Over time, by God’s grace, we anticipate Mosaic to become fully self-funded and to begin
sending resources to help others. It usually takes 3-5 years for a church plant to become
self-sufficient, but it can often be 5-7 years for an inner city church plant.

Therefore, we are asking both churches and individuals to prayerfully consider partnering
with us financially for at least four years in prayerful expectation that, by our fifth year,
Mosaic Baptist Church will be primarily supported internally through the faithful giving of
its members.

 TIMELINE
The timeline is divided into four phases for the beginning of Mosaic, including specific
developmental goals within each stage. It should be noted that these are what we hope
for, pray for, and expect from God during a particular phase of planting, but ultimately
we rest in the providence of God and remain flexible in the timeline He ultimately has
ordained for us.

When we use the term Mosaic Launch Team, we are referring to a group of people that
will function as the seed of the church. These are people committed to going with us to
become the first members and to give their time, resources, and energy to help the birth
of Mosaic.

 HOW YOU CAN HELP

PRAY Would you commit to partnering with us by

approaching the throne of God on our behalf
through ongoing prayer?

We firmly believe in the power of prayer. We know that without God’s power and
grace working in and through us, we cannot accomplish anything. Therefore, we
need you to pray for us. Even with hard work and careful planning, God must be
the one to build His church.

In addition, church planting brings with it large amounts of spiritual opposition,

relational tension, and financial strain. But we believe that God is powerful and
gracious to sustain and empower us. We know that prayer will make the biggest
difference in the life of Mosaic.

You can email us to sign up for updates and prayer requests as we launch Mosaic
Baptist Church.

GIVE Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us

through giving?

We know that Christians have many financial responsibilities and opportunities,

but we ask you to consider whether God is leading you to support Mosaic Baptist
Church. Your four-year partnership would allows this church to grow as we spread
the gospel in South Oklahoma City. Please contact us for more information.

16
JOIN Would you prayerfully consider joining us in the
planting of Mosaic Baptist Church?

Launch Team
Church planting involves so many opportunities to serve and be a part of something
new and exciting. We are praying that God would provide us with 25-50 committed
adults from a variety of cultural, socioeconomic, linguistic, and generational
backgrounds for our Mosaic Launch Team.

The Great Commission is not just for pastors or career missionaries but for everyone
who professes Him as Savior. We ask you to pray about coming and sacrificing your
time, energy, and finances to be part of something eternal. God may be calling you
to join us in Oklahoma City.

If you are interested in being a part of the Launch Team for Mosaic, please email
us for an application. After receiving your application, a member of our Leadership
Team will schedule a meeting with you to discuss how you can get involved with
the launch of Mosaic.

Missions
If you would like to help Mosaic Baptist Church but are unable to make a long-
term committment at this time, there are several ways you can still help. We need
people to help with VBS, church projects and community outreach. If you or your
church would be interested in helping us for a short mission trip or project, please
let us know.
