Re-naming of Fairview Ave to Bishop John Vincent Jr. Ave
Bishop John Vincent Jr was recognized as one of Tulsa's leading voices in the christian community that affected positive change. His ministry, Fellowship Church Ministries International, has been a beacon of light in North Tulsa, the downtown community, and abroad for over 33 years. In addition, he was among the first churches in Oklahoma to establish a prison ministry outreach to Connors Correctional Center for prison inmates.
Why is this important?
In honor of the work and ministry of the late Bishop John Vincent Jr, and the many of dedicated years of faithful service and contributions to the greater Tulsa community and surrounding areas, we are requesting the re-naming of the street "Fairview" on the corner of 570 NORTH Denver/Fairview in his honor, thus preserving his incredible legacy. Therefore we humbly submit this petition and thank you in advance for your willingness to acknowledge our request.
