A New Direction
Right Here in Jenks.
New Direction International is a welcoming, loving church at the heart of Jenks, Oklahoma — committed to Christ, committed to community, and committed to reaching people wherever they are.
From a Home to the Heart of Jenks
New Direction International began the way many great things do — small, faithful, and full of vision. Senior Pastor Tommy R. Davis started the church in his home. For a season, the congregation gathered in a hotel. And when the time came for a permanent home, NDI found it in the former First Christian Church building on Main and 3rd in Jenks — a building with history, a basketball court, and space enough to serve the whole community.
Pastor Davis and Co-Pastor Deirdre L. Davis lead a church whose motto is simple and all-encompassing: "A Church Committed to Christ." Their vision is to be a five-star church that impacts lives and leads people to be fully committed to Christ. Their mission flows from the Great Commandment and the Great Commission — to love Christ, themselves, and others, and to preach the Gospel worldwide.
That commitment to community isn't just Sunday morning — it's Give Back Days that hand out groceries, clothing, and shoes to struggling families. It's a basketball court Pastor Davis wants used by the youth of Jenks every week. It's sixteen active ministries serving people from birth through adulthood, inside the church walls and out — including a Prison Ministry that reaches people most congregations never consider.
"We want to definitely utilize this court that we have to reach the youth and allow them to have a place to come to where they not only have a good place to worship, but a good place to have fun immediately after that."

Faith, Community, and the Voice of Jenks
New Direction International and JenksFM share a deep conviction that community begins with showing up — in a building, on a basketball court, at a Give Back Day, or on the radio. NDI gives people a place to belong in Jenks. JenksFM gives the whole community a voice. Both reach people where they are.
JenksFM's Sunday morning programming — including the rotating congregation broadcast block — exists because faith is part of the fabric of Jenks, America. We are grateful for New Direction International's support of community radio and for the welcome and warmth they bring to our shared community every week.
