A GUIDE FOR VISITING THE ABBEY @24-7
The Location
The address is 2002 E. 6th St. It's near downtown Tulsa & the Pearl District. It sits in one section of a renovated historic building - part of which also serves as the new hub of 24-7 Prayer OK. Hence its name: "The Abbey @24-7".
Where To Enter
The building has many entrances. But The Abbey can only be accessed in the back of the building. Drive down Xanthus Ave to enter the gated parking lot. Nearest the 24-7 Prayer OK sign is a door marked The Abbey @24-7. Enter there.
When To Enter
The Abbey Hours for Summer are: 9a-8p Mon-Thu. 9a-5p Fri -Sat. It's closed on Sundays to encourage people to attend a local faith community for worship. During open hours no reservation is required. You can come & go as you please.
About The Abbey
The Abbey is designed to host individuals, small groups & large groups. It's a Christ-centered, mission-minded public prayer space offering creative ways to help people engage in prayer. Utilizing a modern spin on language & liturgy, there are many inward & outward focused themes with easy-to-engage prayer prompts. There are tables & couches, private, semi-private & open prayer stations. Choose your favorite type of spot to unwind & meet with God.
Our Approach
We seek to provide compelling onramps that lead to connection & conversation with God. A few of these onramps pull from the diverse tribes & rich historic & modern traditions of the Church. That's intentional. You may come across a book, magazine, liturgy, look or approach that's not a part of your own faith tradition. We encourage you to accept that the Church is wildly diverse, & that this space will reflect some of that diversity in its Jesus-focused, prayer-oriented content.
Code Of Conduct
The Abbey is open to everyone.
​
Abbey Site Maps located near the entrance contain info about the layout of the space & how to best engage it. It also has a list of simple rules to help you respect the space & the people in it. Grab one on your way in.
​
The presence of outdoor & indoor security measures, site staff, & a 'code of conduct' helps ensure visitors are able to utilize the space for the reasons intended.
