Timeline FAQ's

What is Next Is Now?

Next Is Now is a three-year generosity campaign designed to make room for God's Kingdom to expand at One Church and beyond. Through this campaign, we are investing in facilities, ministry, and future generations so that more people can experience the life-changing message of Jesus.

Why is this project necessary?

Over the years, One Church has experienced significant growth, and our current facilities have reached their capacity in several areas. Throughout our history, every expansion has created opportunities for more ministry, greater impact, and increased community engagement. This project allows us to prepare for the future rather than react to limitations.

What is being built?

The project includes a new auditorium and related campus improvements designed to increase ministry capacity, improve the guest experience, and create space for future growth. Additional details, renderings, and updates can be found throughout this site.

How will this project be funded?

The project will be funded through the generosity of those who call One Church home or others in the community who would like to support these projects. Next Is Now is a three-year generosity initiative inviting our church family to pray, seek God, and give as He leads.

When will construction begin?

Construction timelines will be shared as milestones are finalized. We are committed to keeping our church family informed throughout every phase of the project.

Will church ministries continue during construction?

How is One Church working with the City of Gahanna?

One Church has worked closely with city staff, planning officials, engineers, and other stakeholders throughout the planning and approval process. We are committed to following all city requirements and ensuring the project serves both our church and the broader community well.

How is One Church engaging with neighboring residents?

For several years, we have actively communicated with neighboring residents through meetings, phone calls, mailings, public meetings, and ongoing conversations. We have listened to concerns regarding traffic, privacy, noise, and property boundaries and have made adjustments where possible in response to feedback.

Has neighbor feedback influenced the project?

Yes. Throughout the planning process, neighbor input has helped shape several decisions and improvements. These have included measures related to privacy, property boundaries, traffic flow, and landscaping. Our goal has always been to listen well and be a good neighbor while fulfilling the mission God has called us to.

What steps has One Church taken to be a good neighbor?

Over the years, One Church has:

  • Participated in numerous public meetings and planning discussions.
  • Maintained ongoing communication with neighboring residents.
  • Addressed concerns related to traffic flow and property access.
  • Installed fencing and landscaping improvements to increase privacy between properties.
  • Worked to resolve concerns as they arise through direct communication and collaboration.

We remain committed to fostering positive relationships with our neighbors and serving our community well.
