In order to accomplish our goal of building healthy churches in the inner city, we do four things:
We believe local churches are the primary means through which people change. The church is a collection of Godʼs people, meeting together to represent him to the world. Poor communities need healthy churches. ONE HOPE is supports the development of healthy church planting and revitalizing along with training and deploying of workers in the context.
Residencies
ONE HOPE provides residencies for church planters and Gospel workers. Residencies are generally one year at The Garden Church. During this time, planters begin a mission as groundwork for a new church. Additionally, ONE HOPE provides discipleship internships for new believers in the urban context
Training
In addition to our own church planting, we care about churches everywhere. ONE HOPE seeks to broadly encourage healthy church ministry in low-income communities through conferences, workshops, and a podcast. Our conferences focus on theology and workshops focus on practical ministry. These opportunities are open for all who want to come and learn.
Mission Trips
We collaborate with partner churches through hosting mission teams. These teams often focus on building work, youth work, outreach, and children’s ministry. Mission trips are open to partner churches and partnering individuals. To inquire about mission trips, please fill out the church partner interest form.
