Your home away from home
COLLEGE STUDENTS
Everyone needs a local church. One Family Church is a great place for college students to get connected. Every week, we offer uplifting worship, community building, and opportunities to grow in your faith. This is more than a community—it's family—welcome home.
FOUR INVITATIONS
To help you follow Jesus, we’ve developed a path. The path includes four time-tested and biblically grounded opportunities which we'd like to invite you to participate in. We call them the Four Invitations:
Our Guarantee: Give us a year! We guarantee that your spiritual life will be dramatically enhanced over the course of the next year through your active participation in these four opportunities
Our heart for COLLEGE STUDENTS comes from ACTS 2:42
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. (ESV)

2. GET CONNECTED
We invite you to get connected to a local church at our monthly membership dinner called Next Steps. The first Sunday of each month, we host a delicious meal where we guide you through an exploration of God’s purpose for your life. If you’d like to explore what God wants to do in you and through, our Next Steps membership dinner is your roadmap.
3. MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The Dream Team is composed of hundreds of enthusiastic men and women who use their gifts and talents to serve one Sunday each month in an area of their passion and talent. Whether it’s in production, worship, first impressions, safety, children’s ministry, or youth programs, there’s a place for you to make a real difference.
4. GROW TOGETHER
Our heart for COLLEGE STUDENTS comes from 1 Timothy 4:12:
"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."
