What is Love Thy Neighbor?

We all want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Jesus told us the parable of the Good Samaritan and gave us the two greatest commandments: Love God with everything we’ve got and love our neighbors as ourselves. We have created Love Thy Neighbor as the “missions and outreach arm” of One Church. We are vision conduits, not vision creators. Love Thy Neighbor is God’s vision for our church to reach our city, our nation, and our globe for the gospel and to carry out the great commission (Matthew 28:19).

Love Thy Neighbor partners with organizations locally and globally to accomplish the mission of Jesus.

COMING SOON

Foster Teen Christmas Outreach

Since Christmas 2019, One Church has been on a mission to make the holiday season brighter for Ohio's foster teens. Through the unwavering support of churches and businesses across the state, we have provided more than $1.1 Million in gift cards to foster teens across Ohio. Teens in foster care are in circumstances outside of their control, but these gift cards offer them a sense of freedom and choice.

This year we will host the second annual Foster Hope Holiday Fest. This event will provide a transformative Christmas experience for foster teenagers across Ohio, combining celebration with exposure to STEM careers, mental wellness resources, and essential life skills to support their transition into adulthood.

With the City

A movement facilitating micro-communities of faith who do life together with the unchurched in pain points of our nation’s urban centers.

WI+H is a place where you can put your feelings into practical action.
