Three Nights of Christian Concerts Are Coming to Bristow, Oklahoma in 2026

The Freeland Center in Bristow, Oklahoma is bringing three major contemporary Christian music artists to its stage this year as part of the Louder Than Sunday Series. Rend Collective, Britt Nicole, and Colton Dixon are all scheduled to perform in 2026, making this one of the most significant lineups of Christian concerts in Oklahoma in recent memory.

For fans of contemporary Christian music in central Oklahoma and beyond, these three shows represent a rare opportunity to see nationally recognized artists in an intimate, community-rooted venue. Here’s what you need to know about each performance and how to get your tickets.

About the Louder Than Sunday Series

The Louder Than Sunday Series is The Freeland Center’s dedicated concert series for contemporary Christian music. It brings faith-driven artists to the Bristow stage for evenings of worship, energy, and community that reflect what The Freeland Center was built to offer.

The 2026 series features three artists across three months, running from June through September. Each show stands on its own. Together they represent a full summer and fall season featuring some of the strongest voices in contemporary Christian music performing right here in Oklahoma.

According to the National Endowment for the Arts, access to live performing arts in smaller communities strengthens community identity and cultural participation in ways that extend well beyond the event itself. The Louder Than Sunday Series is a direct expression of that principle, bringing performances to Bristow that most Oklahoma communities never get to experience at home.

The 2026 Louder Than Sunday Lineup: Christian Concerts in Oklahoma

Rend Collective: June 5, 2026

Rend Collective opens the Louder Than Sunday Series on June 5th. The Northern Irish band is known for turning worship into something genuinely celebratory. Folk instruments, handmade percussion, and an energy on stage make their concerts feel like a community gathering as much as a performance. You can read more about Rend Collective in our blog post: Rend Collective 2026 Tour Oklahoma Stop Is Coming To Bristow.

Their catalog spans more than a decade of modern worship music, with songs that have become staples in churches across the country. Hearing them live is a different experience than hearing them recorded. The full-band energy and the audience participation that defines their shows are things that don’t translate to a streaming platform.

Tickets for Rend Collective are available now through Etix. This is the first show of the series and the only one with individual tickets currently on sale, so if you’re planning to attend, don’t wait. Get your Rend Collective tickets here.

Britt Nicole: August 8, 2026

Britt Nicole brings the Louder Than Sunday Series into August with a show on August 8th. The North Carolina-born Christian pop artist has built one of the most recognized catalogs in contemporary Christian music over the past two decades, with a sound that blends upbeat, faith-driven pop with lyrics rooted in hope and resilience.

Her 2012 album Gold reached number one on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, and produced an RIAA-certified Gold single in the title track. Songs like “The Lost Get Found,” “Ready or Not,” and “Gold” have made her one of the most-played female artists in Christian radio history. Her music has also crossed into mainstream pop audiences, with “Gold” charting on the Billboard Hot 100.

Her live show reflects the same energy that has defined her recordings—bright, high-energy, and grounded in genuine faith. For audiences who have grown up with her music, a Britt Nicole concert is a celebration. For those hearing her for the first time, it’s an introduction to one of Christian pop’s most enduring voices.

Individual tickets for Britt Nicole can be purchased HERE. Season tickets for the full 2026 series are also coming. Check the Britt Nicole event page for more info.

Colton Dixon: September 12, 2026

Colton Dixon closes out the Louder Than Sunday Series on September 12th. Dixon came to national attention through American Idol and has built a significant career in contemporary Christian music since. His sound bridges modern pop production and worship influences in a way that is distinctly his own. Build a Boat is among his most recognized songs, and his live performances carry the same combination of polish and genuine faith-driven conviction.

A September show at The Freeland Center is a fitting close to the series: a big voice, a strong catalog, and an audience that has had all summer to look forward to it.

Individual tickets for Colton Dixon will be available soon. Check the Colton Dixon event page for updates as the show approaches.

Why These Christian Concerts in Oklahoma Are Worth the Drive

The Freeland Center is located in Bristow, Oklahoma, a small city in Creek County, roughly an hour from Tulsa and an hour and a half from Oklahoma City. For anyone outside Bristow, these shows are worth planning a trip around.

The venue is purpose-built for live performance, which means the sight lines are good, the acoustics serve the music well, and the experience of being in the room is different from a larger arena or outdoor festival where scale works against intimacy. Seeing an artist like Rend Collective or Britt Nicole in a venue like The Freeland Center is a different experience. The proximity to the performance and the community feel of the audience make a real difference.

The Freeland Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Every ticket sold supports the Center’s mission of bringing professional-level arts programming to Bristow and the surrounding region, including arts education programs, school productions, and community events throughout the year.
