Dreams2Destiny Center, Inc. is a 501 c-3 organization that began in the heart of Joe Jones in 1997 and incorporated in 2000. The purpose of this non-profit is to help people realize their life purpose and calling and move towards actually doing it. Joe began moving in the direction of his calling by consulting with ministries and individuals that had found themselves stuck in the rut of routine and imitation. They were stalled and sifted when they should have been called and gifted. Joe began trying to help them get back on track and move forward once again. In that process he realized that part of his future was using his time to help others learn how to use theirs. There was this calling to become a shepherd to people and develop what is now the heart of a pastor.
Humbly he began talking about our dreams and the things God has placed in us that dont die but may often be asleep. A small group of folks gathered to discuss God, dreams and destiny, and something bigger was about to be born. That ministry would launch The Landing Community Church in 2002. The name comes from the fact that our meetings were held initially at an airport...the Jones Airport in Jenks, Oklahoma. So this safe place to land for those in a spiritual "holding pattern" would be forever known as The Landing. It wasn't long until there was a need for more space. Miraculously God opened the door to a warehouse...an unfinished one that could be fashioned into whatever our dream was becoming. By this time the dream was also developing in the heart and spirit of the people. And it was awesome! It wouldn't be long until the next facility was ready: 38,000 square feet in South County in the city of Glenpool, OK. So Dreams2Destiny Center,Inc. purchased the building to become a headquarters for ministry and another phase of this incredible dream.
Presently, that building is a city on a hill, shining brightly with ministry to people, with a sincere heartfelt desire to meet the tangible needs of the community and to bring hope to the hopeless. Inside this spacious center you will also find The Glenpool Outreach Center which provides food and special assistance with utilities to those in the community. In the south end of the facility is The Landing Community Church where there are weekly services(SUN 10am and WED 7pm) to help folks reconnect to God and be inspired again to succeed!
The Landing's Story
In March of 2002 with a handful of folks we officially became The Landing Community Church. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things and finding a way to get out of their spiritual holding pattern and land safely with other believers.Today The Landing is a inter-denominational church where you find a warm and friendly family atmosphere. You will be greeted by a friendly face before you are invited into the worship center where you can relax and be yourself while God speaks to you in a very practical way. In this environment you can develop your talents and experience your own personal divine encounter with your Creator. Pastor Joe (Jones), spent nearly two decades in the contemporary Christian music business, producing over 1000 live concert events for singer CARMAN from the early 1980's to 2000. It was at that time that God began sharing His plan and the runway was cleared for The Landing.
What is different about The Landing? People matter. Though we all go through ups and downs we believe that inside every one of us God has planted dreams and visions that will bring Him glory and us complete happiness. Dress is informal and the worship is refreshing and inspiring. Oh, and another thing...we don't TAKE an offering, we RECEIVE one! You won't find a bucket or plate passed here. As God serves up His spiritual buffet to feed your spirit, we believe that you will want to invest in what He is doing and simply give back into the ministry that is feeding you! Just drop your contributions in the boxes by our doors as you leave or as you enter. After all, God loves a cheerful giver!
So if you feel like you have been circling around God for a while, if you are in a spiritual holding pattern there is some good news! Fasten your seat belts, put your seat backs and tray tables in their upright and locked positions and prepare for arrival.
The Landing Community Church meets on Wednesday nights at 7pm and Sunday mornings at 10am. The youth gather at 7pm on Wednesday nights in the Velocity Youth Center on the north end of the facility.
Stop circling and make your approach this week! You've been cleared to land!

We believe that God gives each of us several dreams and visions in our lifetime that He desires for us to accomplish. They will bring Him glory and us complete happiness. Dreams evolve. They are not stagnant and may adapt to serve the needs and the desires of the culture they are engaging. Below is an image of the dream our people are moving towards and a brief description of this "dream in progress"...

At THE LANDING we believe in partnership, NOT membership. Partners are involved and share in all of the blessings and all of the challenges. We hope that when you are ready to become a player and take the field with us, we will find the right position for you so that we can be successful together and God can continue to turn all of your dreams2destiny!You can be all that HE says you can be!
Possibility brought you here. Becoming a partner simply means that you begin to support the church with your time, talent and treasures and protect the unity of it as well. As we stand on the promises of God for you together we start to discover your true potential: potential is always tied to your source and here, our source is Christ.
Potential involves beginning to do what God has placed in your heart to do and as you keep practicing you begin to realize your divine purpose: some refer to it as a destiny. You begin doing things that make you happy and that makes God happy and all of those that are connected to you. Once you've reached third(purpose) its simply a matter of perseverance and staying the course to keep producing and being a valuable player on the team. Productivity for the believer is seeing the fruit of the spirit at work in their lives every day. As we play together, and pray together, we stay together and just keep rounding the bases impacting our community with the life changing power of the Word of God.
Are you ready to become a partner? Call 918-321-2300 and let us know! Play ball!
