One Life Church

What One Life Church does

One Life Church is a non-denominational Christian church founded in 2005 and headquartered at 1030 Central Drive NW in Concord, North Carolina. It operates as a 501c3 non-profit under a Roundtable Leadership Structure composed of a Board of Overseers (member-nominated, four-year terms), paid staff, and ministry team leaders. The church serves individuals and families in the Concord area through weekly Sunday services at 10:30 a.m., 242 Groups for small group fellowship, KidsLife children's ministry, a Student Life program, baptism and child dedication services, a community food pantry, and a Path to Belonging seven-step onboarding pathway from visitor to fully integrated member.

The organization's product surface extends beyond traditional ministry into community economic development via The Collective, a wholly-owned subsidiary opened in 2019 on a 20,000 square foot property. The Collective offers private office rentals starting at $650 per month, recurring flex subscriptions, event space (weddings from $1,750, business events from $600, parties from $175), and virtual office space. Tenant partners include counseling practices, non-profits, religious organizations, and a BNI networking chapter, totaling 17+ co-located organizations. The church's technology stack is built on the Nucleus church platform for website, forms, event registration, and online giving, with Twilio powering an opt-in SMS program that delivers 1–4 messages per week.

Revenue derives from voluntary tithes and offerings (the primary stream, with monthly transparency updates sent via newsletter) and rental income from The Collective. The organization employs 44 staff and operates with a volunteer-heavy model. Marketing and distribution channels include the church website, email newsletter, Instagram (@onelifech), YouTube sermon content via the Godspeed channel, SMS opt-in (texting ONELIFE to a designated number), and in-person gatherings and events. The operating geography is explicitly limited to Concord, North Carolina, with no global footprint claim.
