Since 2013, The Interfaith Alliance of Oklahoma has been sponsoring activities that intentionally bring together our rich, diverse, and service-minded people and communities of belief in the Greater Oklahoma City metropolitan areas. The objective is to give everyone a chance to get to know people of other beliefs in a friendly and safe environment by letting them work side by side helping people living in our city, and state in real, tangible ways.

Since our first event, renovating the gardens and grounds of a Catholic Homeless Shelter. We have spent hours together in projects such as preparing food for the hungry, helping with renovation at non-profit organizations, and assisting with community events.

Each of our projects has a specific service focus and is organized in a way that volunteers are surrounded by people whose beliefs and cultures may be different, but their hearts value the same thing – a loving community. That’s the only prerequisite!

We sponsor activities that bring together our rich, diverse, and service-minded communities. We select four to five projects annually. We have provided voluntary services at the Book Fair, Food Bank, Lake Clean Up, Lazarus House, Oklahoma Zoo and Sustainable Farms.

We arrange volunteers in small groups to work. Then, we take a break for snacks and conversation encouraged by Amazing Faiths questions that prompt expressing something about one’s beliefs and listening to each other. Our goal is to facilitate connections and understanding while we serve our community.
