How it all started...
One Church began with a simple belief: people matter deeply to God.
Jesus spent His life seeking out those who felt overlooked, disconnected, or far from God - and He invited His followers to do the same. That calling became the foundation for everything that would follow.
Years ago, that vision took shape through the faithful step of starting a new church in the Pittsburgh area. With a deep love for this region and its people, a small group began praying, building relationships, and asking where they could best serve. Over time, it became clear that the Chartiers Valley area was where this mission would take root.
From the beginning, One Church was never meant to be about one person - it was about a church for the community, grounded in unity and centered on Jesus.

Expanding the vision...
What started as a step of faith has grown into a community shaped by purpose.
One Church exists to lead people to Christ - and we believe that starts with meeting people where they are. Whether someone has followed Jesus for years or is just beginning to ask questions, there is a place for them here.
We often talk about “the ONEs” - the people in our lives we are called to notice, love, and walk with as they take steps toward Jesus. If God is for them, then we want to be too.
As a church, this comes to life in how we live:
We’re not just attending something - we’re building something together.

As a church, this comes to life in how we live:
- Creating a place to belong, even before someone believes
- Making space to explore faith, questions, and doubts
- Choosing to be a community that serves our neighbors in real ways
- Living with purpose, not just on Sundays but in everyday life
- Growing as a movement that multiplies, so more people can experience the same hope
We’re not just attending something - we’re building something together.
Where we are headed...
We believe the story of One Church is still being written, and that the best chapters are ahead.
Our vision is to see every ONE in Chartiers Valley come to know Jesus and experience the life He offers. That vision continues to shape how we move forward - not just growing bigger, but growing deeper in how we love, serve, and reach people.
And as we look ahead, our focus stays simple:
To notice the ONE.
To care for the ONE.
To help the ONE take steps toward Jesus.
We are One Church, with one message, in one community, with one hope - that everyone would know Jesus.
