First Presbyterian Church of Oklahoma City — Attraction in Oklahoma City

As a fellow Christian and photographer, I am absolutely appalled at the way myself and my clients were treated. The “security staff” yelled at us and told us “You need to leave. I have people here. There’s no parking for you.” We were not parked in the church parking lot, and there was not anyone outside of the building who would be photographed. As we were leaving, we stopped to get a couple quick pictures. We were not on the property for more than 2 minutes. This woman continued to yell at us and told us we needed to return another time. When asked when would be a good time to come back, she kept making excuses that there were constantly things on-site. Nothing she said made sense, and she was INCREDIBLY RUDE. I would definitely rethink your “security”, staff, and policies (if this women’s behaviors and request align with them). A silly policy, but if no photography on site is a policy - why not consider signs around the outside of the building that state exactly that? Maybe on your Facebook and website too? Marketing is important. Being rude and kicking people out of church definitely isn’t what Jesus would do. Church hurt is real, and this isn’t a way to bring people to Jesus. I’m looking for a church in the OKC area, and my interactions today confirmed I will not be visiting or making this church my...

Beautiful building, rude personal, I’m a photographer and I understand if there are places where photography is not allowed… but specially coming from someone that is “serving” in a “church” you would expect that they ask you to leave in a kind way, this women was rude, agresive, she was yelling and treating to call the police when We were there a couple of minutes and just asked nicely if it was ok to take pictures in the STREET with the church as background, I am so glad this angry women is working at a church because she needs Jesus in her heart and I’ll be praying so she can stop feeling that hate that she showed to me and my...

During the worst 2 weeks of my life, the pastor and staff of First Presbyterian Church of Oklahoma City did their best to share my grief and help lighten my family's load of sadness. If you are looking for a church family, this should be your first and last stop. The school programs for children are wonderful and the staff in every area of the church are kind and considerate. Add to that the chapel and the main church are BEUTIFUL and a wonderful place to worship. Choir is good and the Wednesday services are wonderful and peaceful. I am very grateful for this church and enjoy the services when I am in...
