Resurrection in the City

Bringing freedom closer. Making greater impact.

A Brand New Chapter for House of Resurrection

For more than a year Lori and I have been quietly praying about the future of House of Resurrection.

As the number of people we serve in Tulsa and across America has grown, Lori and I have been asking the Lord how to make this work more accessible and more impactful. We have sensed a growing conviction to move our headquarters and expand our mission right here in our own city of Tulsa,

Through months of prayer, counsel from our board, and a recent sabbatical, we sensed God gently leading us to see the next chapter of House of Resurrection will unfold.

House of Resurrection is preparing to move our ministry center into Tulsa County — and expanding the work we do.

This expansion will allow us to:

• Establish a Tulsa ministry center to serve as a hub for healing and restoration
• Create a Sabbath Residence where weary pastors
• Host weekly freedom gatherings for men and women battling addiction
• Provide counseling offices where Lori and I can meet with people
• Host residential Intensives for men and couples in crisis
• Expand the Katharos program, which is already serving more than 200 people each year in Tulsa

As you read more about the vision and plans below, we invite you to prayerfully consider sharing a gift to help carry the cost of this vision and expansion.

Help us bring Resurrection to the City.

Here’s what the Lord has done in our first eight years.

• More than 100 pastors restored after moral crisis
• Thousands of men and marriages rescued from sexual brokenness
• The launch of Katharos for Men
• The creation of Katharos for Students
• The development of Katharos for Women
• The establishment of a debt free residential ministry center

And this is only the beginning.

What could God do through the next eight years of House of Resurrection?

To establish our new ministry center in Tulsa and expand this work, we estimate the need to raise $300,000 for this next step in our journey.

Here is the good news.

Victory Church, pastored by Curt and Pam Seaburg, has already committed the first $100,000 toward this vision.

Your gift, whether large or small, will help us complete this expansion and bring the work of resurrection closer to the people who need it most.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Yes. The current property will be sold, and the proceeds will be used toward the purchase of the new ministry location in Tulsa.

  • The new location will allow us to significantly expand the work we are doing. In addition to space for residential intensives, the new ministry center will include room for weekly freedom and recovery gatherings, a Sabbath residence where weary pastors can come for rest and renewal, and counseling offices where Lori and I can meet daily with individuals and couples seeking healing. The additional funding will help make this expanded vision possible.

  • No. Our plan is to purchase an existing building and property that is well suited for our work. We are already scouting several possibilities that could serve the ministry beautifully.

  • We expect the transition to take approximately three to six months as we finalize the sale of the current property and secure the new ministry location.

  • No. The work will continue without interruption. During the transition we will use a ministry retreat home in Tulsa that we have used in the past for intensives and counseling.

  • The expansion will allow us to establish a central ministry location in Tulsa that will include:

    • A Pastor Sabbath Residence where weary pastors can come for renewal
    • Weekly freedom gatherings for men and women battling addiction
    • Counseling offices where Blaine and Lori can meet with people seeking healing
    • Residential addiction coaching Intensives for men and couples seeking breakthrough
    • Expanded reach for the Katharos programs already serving more than 200 people each year in Tulsa

  • We estimate the need to raise $300,000 to launch this next phase of the ministry and establish the new Tulsa ministry center.

  • Yes. Victory Church, pastored by Curt and Pam Seaburg, has already committed the first $100,000 toward this vision. Their generosity has helped launch this next chapter and gives us great momentum toward the goal.

  • No. The mission remains exactly the same. House of Resurrection exists to bring healing and restoration to pastors, men, marriages, and families affected by sexual brokenness. This move simply allows us to carry out that mission more effectively and serve more people.

  • Lori and I are not navigating this transition alone. Our board of trustees and several trusted pastors are walking closely with us through every step of this process to help ensure wise decisions are made. Their counsel and oversight will help guide the purchase of the new location and the expansion of the ministry so that it produces the strongest long term impact.
