Our new service times for the Summer are 9am and 11am, beginning Memorial Day weekend on Sunday, May 24th.

UPDATE: On April 23, over 1 million people in more than 6,000 host locations (including ours) joined together to get real answers about the economy and turn back the tide of fear in their communities. But Town Hall for Hope isn't over yet!  Now it's up to you, America, to keep the momentum going!

Tired of hearing the fear, doom, and gloom that's filling the airwaves? Join Dave Ramsey for a nationwide town hall meeting and discover what's happening with the economy, how we got here, and where we're going.

Join us for this FREE live streaming video on Thursday, April 23rd, at 7pm here at ONE*. Get directions. (No childcare will be provided.)

For other locations and times, visit the official Town Hall for Hope website.

• Step 1. Fill out the Life Group Leader Application here. (You must have attended ONE* for 6 months or more)
• Step 2. We'll contact you to setup an interview.

Since our Life Group leaders play such an important role, we take great care when enlisting them. Submitting an application doesn't necessarily guarantee we'll have a group for you to lead at this time.

So what are you waiting for? Get Started.

What else do I need to know?

I'm glad you asked… Once you've signed up for a group, you'll receive an e-mail with all the info you need for your first meeting. You'll also need the book Community: Your Pathway to Progress for the Life Group sessions. This book is available for $10 after services or at the church office, Monday through Thursday, 8:30am-5:00pm. To help promote a predictable group environment, we also ask that those of you with kids make your own childcare arrangements for group times.

What if the group I want is already full?

No worries. We'll be launching more groups later in the year. You can also check back on the site in case anyone decides to drop out of the group (we'll make any openings available to you online).

And that about wraps it up. So what are you waiting for? Sign up today.

This is your opportunity to get baptized this Summer! Once you accept Jesus Christ, the next step on your journey is to be baptized.

Do you ever feel overlooked by others? Like no one really sees your value or potential?

Or maybe you just feel like life isn't fair. That you never get the same breaks as everyone else. And maybe (just maybe) you've gone too far to get something you really wanted. And once it was yours it didn't bring the happiness you thought it would. If so... you're Just Like Dave.

Join us for this 3-part series beginning May 18th as we discover how much we're Just Like Dave. Get service times and directions or find out what to expect.

So join us Wednesday and enjoy a long Memorial Day weekend!

Let's face it. The computer you're using right this second is wired to a power source. And if it wasn't wired to the right power source, you wouldn't be able to check your e-mail, update your blog, play Solitaire (not at work, of course), or even read this blog post.

In our lives, we can get wired to the wrong things and never have enough power to be everything God created us to be. That's what this series is all about, getting wired to the things that have the power to give us life.

Join us for this 3-part Wired series beginning April 27th. Ready to join us? Get service times and directions or watch previous messages to get a taste of what it'll be like.

The Ultimate Relationship series is all about learning how to have an Ultimate Relationship. In Part 2 of the series, You're Such An Animal, we look at the differences between men and women and even differences in our personalities.

Let's face it. We each have our own unique personality with natural strengths and weaknesses, communication style, and needs. Check out this 5-minute Personality Test to find out if your personality type is like a lion, otter, golden retriever, or beaver (and what those even mean anyway). Requires Adobe Reader.

After you finish the test, take a minute to read all about your personality type on the couple pages following the test. And maybe even share your results with each other.
