What seemed like weakness reveals the very heart of God.This Easter season, we are slowing down to look again at the cross—not just as a symbol, but as the clearest picture of who God is and how God moves in the world.Join us as we discover the better, more beautiful way revealed in Jesus

Everything flows from what we believe about who God is and how God operates in the world. This is why it's important for us to wrestle with what we believe. During the series we are going to discuss seven foundational Kingdom Truths that we at One Life Church believe are true, good, powerful and life giving. They describe who God is and what God is doing in the world. And they help us remember who we are and how we can participate with what God is doing in the world.

This Christmas season, we’re having a little fun as we dive into a brand-new Advent series inspired by the three rules from the movie Elf. Each week, we’ll explore one part of the Code of the Elves and discover the deeper truths behind these playful reminders—truths that point us toward hope, joy, and the heart of Jesus’ coming. Join us throughout Advent as we laugh, learn, and prepare our hearts together for the arrival of Christ.

Every Christmas the words of Bing Crosby ring in our ears, “I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love, even more than I usually do. And although I know it's a long road back, I promise you, I'll be home for Christmas.” We all have a longing for a place called home. But where is it and how do we get there? This Christmas season we will be reminded that Jesus came to earth as the light that shows us the way home.

Kim Jackson is the Executive Director of Elder Orphan Care. God brought Elder Orphan Care into existence through a unique set of divinely inspired circumstances.In America, Kim Jackson was praying for a new adventure.In Romania, Viorel and Florica Pasca were not!But when they viewed a newscast reporting that two people, elderly and homeless, had frozen to death on the streets of a nearby city, they took action by welcoming two older women to live in their spare room. God used several people to bring Kim and the Pascas together in 2011. Elder Orphan Care was birthed with our partnership with Viorel and Florica who were then caring for "only" 64 older adults! Since then the Pascas have rescued nearly 3000 older adults in Romania who would otherwise be homeless and currently care for over 400. Over the years and thanks to our generous donors EOC was able to help fund the construction of two care homes, housing for volunteers and a multipurpose building. But far beyond that our teams built hundreds of treasured relationships with the people in those buildings as we visited each and every individual and shared both presents and our presence with them. EOC partnered with the Pascas for 13 year, through 2024. In 2017 we felt compelled to "look in our own backyard" and under the direction of Tammy Blackburn, former EOC board member turned staff person, we began caring for older adults in need in our home area of Cabarrus and Rowan counties in North Carolina who wish to age in their own homes. We enjoy partnering with other local senior-serving organizations to provide help and hope in a variety of ways to our older neighbors.
