About My Church Plant
One Love Community Church mission exists to "Inspire all people to love their neighbors as themselves." The church is scheduled to launch September 9, 2018. Weekly worship services will be held in the local elementary school, and we have already begun serving them through several projects. Our community is ethnically and economically diverse and going through gentrification. There is an absence of Bible-based churches in the area. We believe this provides a great opportunity to love like God, serve like Jesus and share the gospel to advance the kingdom of God in our community and throughout the city.
NAMB Church Planting
Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.
