About My Church Plant

Hell’s Kitchen has a long history as a challenging neighborhood. Its story includes impoverished immigrants being exploited, gangs, drugs, prostitution and organized crime, making it a neighborhood of grit and struggle. In some sense, the name Hell’s Kitchen says it all. It has been a place that is both notorious and generative in terms of the culture it has produced. Although many see the neighborhood as a location, not a home, and as a place to commute to versus a place to commit to, One Community Church (OCC), seeks to challenge and change this reality by modeling an incarnational presence. We are staying for the long haul, embracing this place as our home and being missionaries who are found in the fabric of the community.

NAMB Church Planting

Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
