What is Love Thy Neighbor?

We all want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Jesus told us the parable of the Good Samaritan and gave us the two greatest commandments: Love God with everything we’ve got and love our neighbors as ourselves. We have created Love Thy Neighbor as the “missions and outreach arm” of One Church. We are vision conduits, not vision creators. Love Thy Neighbor is God’s vision for our church to reach our city, our nation, and our globe for the gospel and to carry out the great commission (Matthew 28:19).

Love Thy Neighbor partners with organizations locally and globally to accomplish the mission of Jesus.

Love Thy Neighbor Week

Let’s make a meaningful impact throughout our city. During this week, we’ll be mobilizing as the hands and feet of Christ, serving and loving our neighbors in tangible ways. Each day, we’ll host a variety of events in partnership with local organizations, including many of our Love Thy Neighbor partners, to bring hope, support, and connection to those around us. Together, we’ll make a difference, one neighbor at a time.

With the City

A movement facilitating micro-communities of faith who do life together with the unchurched in pain points of our nation’s urban centers. We have all felt moved by racial injustice in our nation, but oftentimes we don’t know how we can make a di!erence beyond the social media post or yard sign. WI+H is a place where you can put your feelings into practical action.
