More houses of worship are partnering with health agencies to help broaden accessibility to the COVID-19 vaccine. Two Oklahoma City churches, OKC First Church of the Nazarene and Emmanuel Tabernacle, hosted vaccine pods on Saturday. The Rev. Jeffery Goldsmith, senior pastor of Emmanuel Tabernacle, said his church, 1015 NW 96, is affiliated with the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World denomination, with about 25 churches in the state, eight of them in the metro area. He said he has served as the denomination's bishop since 2017 and his church is the faith group's state headquarters. The minister and several other pastors in the predominantly Black denomination were vaccinated publicly on Saturday at the vaccination pod.
