Book Description
This is the story of a church that began serving a small community in Indian Territory shortly after the end of the Civil War. For many years, the church provided a place for families to worship through world wars, pandemics, and financial crises. Toward the end of the twentieth century, the church envisioned and built a new campus to serve a growing community. This bold action of faith and stewardship positioned the church for the 21st century. In 1999, with the arrival of a senior pastor with a vision of what Claremore First United Methodist Church (CFUMC) could become, the church began a remarkable period of growth and expansion of outreach ministries. For the first two decades of the 21st century, CFUMC doubled in membership and tripled in worship attendance. Through local missions, it also became known as "the church that helps people." The book describes how these extraordinary results were achieved when many mainline churches were struggling and should be of interest not only to local and statewide Methodists, but to any church or nonprofit that relies on gifts and volunteers to complete its mission. About the Author Ron Scott is a lifelong Methodist and has been a member of CFUMC since 1971. He has served in several administrative positions and ministries, and he recognized the importance of documenting the incredible story of CFUMC. In 2018, he offered to lead the effort to write a complete church history. Ron and his wife, Sally, have three children and eight grandchildren.

Here Today
Author: Jeffrey B. Schmidt
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806194499
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
The history of Oklahoma runs through the thousands of towns that sprang up in the wake of statehood and even before then—readable in the traces of bygone days, if you know what to look for. In Here Today, Jeffrey B. Schmidt conducts readers, armchair travelers and adventurers alike, through places that tell Oklahoma’s story: towns all but disappeared, waning, or persisting despite the odds. Part travelogue, part field guide, part history, the book—replete with photos, maps, and GPS coordinates—documents the rise and fall of one hundred of these towns, from the arrival of pioneers and settlers to the rise of buildings and businesses to the decline that came with natural disasters, manmade crises, and cultural change. Schmidt provides an enlightening look at what has made these towns work—the role of roads and railways, public schools and churches, community building and commerce, and, perhaps most significant, the official recognition that a post office conferred. He notes the oil strikes, coal mines, intriguing crimes, violent weather, and twists of fortune that played into the fate of each; points out the landmarks that still stand and the shadows of those that have succumbed to indifference, destruction, or the passage of time; and puts the story these towns tell into the larger context of westward expansion, Native American history, and, in the case of the many all-Black towns, discrimination and segregation. Whether visiting ghost towns or small towns that still draw on the power of rural resilience to survive and even thrive, Here Today offers a rare chance to travel through the state’s history before its remnants may be gone tomorrow. Representing the extraordinary extent of Schmidt’s research, legwork, and mining of archives and data sources, the book preserves for all time a vanishing vision of Oklahoma.
