From time to time, our members find themselves in financial need due to unforeseen circumstances. At One Family Church, we seek to provide temporary financial help to members with emergency needs, especially needs relating to basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing. We also seek to help our members avoid any long-term or chronic financial problems through practical teaching and counseling in the area of personal finance.

Another resource is the Start Here initiative which is a St. Louis area resource directory. Please take some time to review opportunities available through these resources.

If you are an active member of One Family Church with an emergency financial need, please fill out the benevolence application below. This form must be filled out completely for all financial requests. Applicants may apply only one time per calendar year. No applicant may apply more than twice.

After reviewing your application, a member of our Benevolence Team will contact you. Information provided by you and your references will be shared with the Trustees who will prayerfully consider all requests.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of god, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
