I went to First United Methodist Church in downtown Tulsa with my parents for much of my childhood. When I began middle school, we left the Methodist church, but I have many fond memories of my time there. The building has had many renovations and extensions over the years, and there are many different styles of architecture. My favorite part of the building is the sanctuary, where the beauty of the original church remains intact. Spires and arches tower over the door of the church, leading into a small entryway before opening into the sanctuary. Pillars lead the eye down the aisle of benches to the podium, which sits under a massive stained-glass window. My parents were married there, and it’s my preferred location for where my fiancé and I will get married.
