At One Heart, we believe that every Christian is called to be a missionary. In fact, as Christ’s followers, we are missionaries by design simply because we are indwelt by His Spirit, and His heart compels us to complete the work He started. As His HEART (Hands Extended and Revealing Truth), Christ is relying on us to reach the world around us – locally and globally – with the truth of His saving grace. As a Missions Ministry, we are committed to pursuing Christ’s passion for reaching the lost and ministering to those in need. Currently, our church partners with several local ministries and our members support them through service projects, volunteer time and material donations. In addition, we have strong relationships with churches in several countries including Romania, Ukraine, Argentina, Guatemala, Tanzania, Honduras and Italy. One Heart members make yearly short-term trips to these locations and God continues to move in mighty ways! For more information about missions opportunities, contact Chester Whisonant, Missions Pastor.

ONE HEART CHURCH 2020 THEME

What does “living on mission day by day” look like?

Living on mission is truly living a life with Christ at the center.
That means as believers we are called to share the Good News (Gospel) of what Christ has done. 

But what are some tangible ways you can live on mission with Christ at the center? 

GO – Go and tell your neighbor.
PRAY – Pray for the lost. Pray for our missionaries and ministries.
GIVE – Give for the Kingdom’s work, locally and globally.
BELIEVE – God will expand our impact. 

Living on mission is not about a location. It is about a movement within your heart that places you in direct harmony with God’s mission. 

At One Heart Church we are constantly trying to become authentic followers of Jesus Christ committed to impacting our world. 

We can all go. We can all pray. We can all give. WE CAN ALL BELIEVE. We can all live on mission day by day!

Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
Acts 2:46-47 (NASB)

The types of experiences provided in the preschool years guide children to their earliest feelings and attitudes toward faith and spiritual transformation later in life. We focus on what is best for your child and do our best to provide them with a quality, memorable school experience.

Atlanta Morning Center
www.atlmc.org
Morning Center was founded in 2011 as a project of Samaritan Ministries International, a 501(c)(3) Christian charity and seeks to provide Gospel-centered prenatal through postpartum care to women at risk of abortion in urban and under-served areas, at no charge, in the Name of Jesus. Our desire is to return charitable maternity care to a private patient-centered model. Through true Christian charity, Atlanta Morning Center is a grass roots effort funded by individuals, families, churches, and other like-minded organizations and does not accept any government funds. Atlanta Morning Center was begun as an intentional collaboration with Georgia Right to Life and is the next integral piece in the pro-life ecosystem.
