A City Within Reach.
Loving Our Neighbor. Loving Our City. Loving the Sport.
Hosted by New Song Church
Neighborhood Network is a monthly sports outreach for 7th–12th grade students in Oklahoma City.
Students come to play. To be known. To be part of something consistent.
Something is happening in our city.
Students are showing up, courts are filling, and relationships are forming. A picture of loving our neighbor, loving our city, and loving the sport.
A city is within reach and this is our moment. But we are running out of room to say yes.
Five years ago, God placed a dream in our hearts: reach students in Oklahoma City through sport and consistent presence.
Over the next four years, He refined it. He connected us with ministries in places like Harlem who had built something real through years of showing up. At the same time, He was pulling together the right people here at New Song.
In January 2025, Neighborhood Network launched its first 3v3 basketball tournament. From that first day, it was clear: students were showing up, and they were coming back.
Across Oklahoma City, there is a gap: but not in talent or potential. It is a gap in access, safety, and consistent presence.
Students need places where they are known. Where they are safe. Where they can show up and be expected. When those places do not exist, something else fills the space.
We believe the Church is called to step into that space.
There are moments when God begins to do something right in front of us. In those moments, He looks for a people who will respond.
Everything we are building begins with something simple. Someone makes room:
Room for a student to show up.
Room for a relationship to form.
Room for something lasting to grow.
This is the heart of Christ. He made room for people. He stepped into their lives. He met them where they were.
