For God so loved the world.
JOHN 3:16
Location
The Mission’s overnight men’s shelter is located at 506 N. Cheyenne Ave. This is just off of North Denver Ave. in downtown Tulsa. The Mission is across the street from the David L. Moss Correctional Facility (Tulsa Jail) and immediately adjacent to the IDL overpass.
Your safety is important to us.
- Arrive at the shelter by 5pm (if you have a job and can’t make it in time, call us for a reservation).
- Bring a photo ID.
- Bring a TB card.
- You only need this if you plan to stay for more than a week.
- If you don’t have one, we can help you get it.
- You must be sober. We want everyone in our shelter to be safe, so disruptive or intoxicated guests will not be allowed to stay until they are sober and under control.
- Please do not bring the following items to the shelter:
- Pets
- Weapons
- Alcohol
- Non-prescribed drugs
Are you a woman in need of a place to stay?
John 3:16 Mission does not have an emergency shelter for women. Women are most welcome to have dinner at our shelter, but women who need a place to sleep for the night should call 211 for a complete list of social services available to you.
You are also welcome at our women’s day program, called Refresh, for women on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 am to 2 pm. We’ll pick you up and bring you to our Hardesty Renew campus for the day.
Our Process:
This process is just for our guests. Those that are employed or in the Overcomer Program experience check-in a different way.
Check-in starts at 5:00pm. Guests will first be checked in for chapel and dinner.
All guests will go through security. Then they can check in for a bed, if they wish to stay.
All guests go to Chapel, which starts at 5:45. Chapel ends at 6:30 and we begin serving dinner. Dinner ends at 7:00.
Those who have been checked in for a bed will go to the shelter building, where they get a shower, hygiene supplies on request, and clean scrubs.
If you have a job and cannot make it in time for evening check in, you are welcome to call and reserve a bed. (You may be asked for proof of employment.)
