Partnering locally and globally to share the love of jesus and fulfill the great commission

Love thy neighbor

Love Thy Neighbor

is the missions and outreach arm of One Church, created to help us live out that calling.

We’re not vision creators—we’re vision conduits. This is God’s vision for our church: to reach our city, our nation, and the world with the hope of the gospel and fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19).Through Love Thy Neighbor, we partner with organizations both locally and globally, working together to carry out the mission of Jesus. Our outreach events and partnerships align with the church’s seasonal rhythms, creating intentional opportunities to make an impact all year long.

Foster Teen Christmas Outreach

Since Christmas 2019, One Church has been on a mission to make the holiday season brighter for Ohio's foster teens. Through the unwavering support of churches and businesses across the state, we have provided more than $1.1 Million in gift cards to foster teens across Ohio. Teens in foster care are in circumstances outside of their control, but these gift cards offer them a sense of freedom and choice.

In addition to $25 gift cards we have Foster Hope Holiday Fest is a unique celebration for foster teens across Ohio—combining holiday joy with exposure to STEM careers, mental wellness resources, and essential life skills. It's a fun, hope-filled experience designed to inspire, equip, and support their transition into adulthood.

Foster Teen Events

LoVe Thy Neighbor Week

Once a year, we set aside an entire week to go all in on loving and serving our city. Love Thy Neighbor Week is a focused, boots-on-the-ground initiative where our church family shows up to meet real needs in the Columbus community.

From serving meals to the homeless, to supporting survivors of domestic violence, to stocking shelves at local food banks, to building playhouses for children in foster care, every project is a chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

It’s not just about what we do, it’s about who we’re doing it for. This week is our opportunity to put love into action and make the gospel visible through service.
