Assessment

Asbury Church Tulsa is a large GMC congregation that formally separated from the UMC during the 2022 schism. After 29 years under Tom Harrison, Rev. Andrew Forrest takes over as Senior Pastor August 1, 2026. Forrest is a third-generation Methodist minister (Columbia BA, Perkins MDiv at SMU) coming from Munger Place Church Dallas. The GMC alignment + Forrest's traditional Methodist lineage suggest continued orthodox-conservative trajectory. Yellow on leadership reflects fresh pastoral transition — re-evaluate after 12-18 months to confirm staff and program continuity.
