What is Iron Man?
The Bible gives a clear picture of who and what an Ironman really is. He is a man who leads his family by example and service, worships his God with passion and conviction, and serves his community with honor and integrity. The vision of the Ironman ministry is to train men to succeed in all of these areas.
For that reason, Pastor Gary McIntosh began the Ironman men’s network at GCC and embraced the exciting challenge of developing men into servant-leaders. "Iron sharpens iron," as Proverbs 27:17 says, and we know that when men get together, something explosive releases in the spiritual world. So we provide plenty of opportunities for men to work together to develop their full leadership potential.
1. To teach men how to be godly leaders, husbands, and fathers in a world that is desperate for genuine leadership. Men's lives are changed and restored while vision and purpose are instilled.
2. To prepare men to be disciples and leaders who influence their world. Many men have completed the Journey course since the inception of the Ironman network. The Journey is held regularly and includes a men-only Encounter Retreat. The goal of the weekend retreat is to see men set free from bondages and addictions so they can live victoriously in Christ.
3. To prepare men for leadership through the Discovery classes. Discovery is thirty weeks in length and is the place where the men of Greenwood learn the principles of small-group ministry and servant-leadership. In the Discovery, men learn how the Word of God directs their lives, how to lead their homes and love their wives, how to develop lifestyles of prayer and evangelism, and how to become men of character and excellence.
Under the dynamic leadership of Pastor Debbie McIntosh, Crown Dynasty not only impacts hundreds of women but also secures them in their walk with the Lord. With regular women-only Encounter weekends, pains and wounds of the past are healed, identity is discovered, and hope is established. Women-specific ministry is released and available. These women learn they are royalty awaiting their crown!
The Crown Dynasty women’s network seeks to raise the self-esteem and enhance the potential of every woman of God at Greenwood. Like the Ironmen network, the Crown Dynasty network conducts exclusive activities such as network meetings, Encounter Retreats, small groups, and a School of Leaders for women. The goal of the Crown Dynasty network is to bring the Gospel to every woman in Tulsa and to equip Greenwood’s ladies to reach out to the hurting and needy women of Tulsa in practical local missions.

FREE LIFE YOUTH Vision Statement
John 8:31-36
“…Whoever the Son sets free is free indeed.”
John 10:10
“…I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”
Free Life Youth is dedicated to teaching young people how to live free from the bondage of sin, setting the standard, and re-presenting God in a real, transparent and modern way to show them how his word applies to their everyday lives. So F.L.Y. plans to infiltrate all areas of society, including and especially the arts & entertainment industry, fashion, business, politics, and economic structures for the building and advancement of the kingdom of God.
What started as a small group circle discussion in late summer of 2009 has now grown to hundreds of young people who come eagerly anticipating a radical touch from God every Sunday night @ 6pm. Under the direction of Pastor "Big Brother" Michael Todd and his wife Natalie, the lives of the young adult population have dramatically changed as a result of connecting with this ministry. The audience is full of ex-gang members, former alcoholics and drug addicts/dealers, and countless others who have been healed emotionally from abuse and neglect and physically from diseases in their bodies. "We can impact young people across Oklahoma and the entire nation by addressing real problems, finding real solutions, and seeing real change," Big Brother Mike says.
Besides the regular weekly service, So F.L.Y. hosts regular fun fellowship events to build a sense of camaraderie and encourage a healthy family environment. Our goals are:
To develop our own original one-year curriculum for weekly devotionals that explains how to walk out the Christ-like lifestyle in a modern and transparent way.
To take our expression of radical praise & worship to the world via the "Be Amplified" package (Live DVD & studio produced CD combo).
To launch the So FLY clothing line & merchandising company
To initiate outreach programs geared toward schools & community
To build and/or purchase transitional housing communities for underprivileged youth & young adults
To build or purchase our own building debt free!
