Tulsa Adventist Academy

[Gregory Matthews]

With Thanks to Adventist Today:

An evangelical megachurch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will be selling its campus as the new site of Tulsa Adventist Academy, according to both the Tulsa World and the Tulsa Beacon newspapers. Grace Church was not affiliated with the Adventist denomination and once had thousands in attendance each Sunday, but “a steep decline in membership” has resulted in negotiations to sell the facilities. A total of 58 of the 76 acres will be sold to YME Foundation, an independent Adventist group that will lease the seven buildings on the property to Tulsa Adventist Academy which is operated by the Oklahoma Conference of the Adventist denomination. The foundation also plans to develop industries to help sustain the K-12 school which currently has an enrollment of about 120. Pastor Stephen Carlile of the Tulsa Adventist Fellowship church is the only denominational employee on the board of YME Foundation. His congregation is one of the fastest-growing Adventist churches in the United States with about 900 members.
