Based on Jeremiah 29:7 "and work for the peace and prosperity of the city...for it's welfare will determine your welfare," Mission 297 offers a faith-based, fun, safe space with Bible study, life skills training, and recreational activities for 6th-12th grade students each week. We invest generationally into southside OKC to seek the shalom of our community.

2026-2027 Theme

Our '26-'27 theme, United, celebrates the power of collaboration.
We believe that by working together, we foster a stronger community where every student finds support and thrives. We work closely with Redemption Church, St. Paul's Community School, and other churches, nonprofits, businesses, and people of goodwill to seek God’s peace for south OKC.
