What One Fellowship does

One Fellowship (legal name "One Fellowship," DBA "ONE Fellowship") is a non-denominational Christian church operating as an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 142 Sportsman Island Drive, Charleston, SC 29492. Founded in 2014, the church serves individuals, families, and students in the Charleston, South Carolina area, with a stated mission to "know Christ and make Him known to the one and the many in Charleston and beyond." Its ministry portfolio centers on Sunday worship services held at 9am and 11am (with a YouTube livestream of the 11am service), age-segmented discipleship programs (ONE Kids for nursery through 5th grade, ONE Students for middle and high school), and small-group formation through Life Groups meeting in homes across the city and Study Groups for themed biblical study.

The organization's core operating model is volunteer- and donation-driven. Programming includes eight branded Serve Teams (Kids, Students, Connections, Scripture Reader, Worship, Production, Hospitality & Events, Meals) and a recurring calendar of community events such as Men's Night Out, Women's Night Out, Starting Point newcomer gatherings, Fall Launch, the Hog and Harvest Festival, the Advent Wreath Workshop, and Christmas Eve Services. One Fellowship sustains a structured local and international missions program: monthly partnerships with Destiny Worship Center (food distribution), Hope Repair (home repairs in Berkeley County), STAR Gospel Mission (homeless meal service), and Lifeline Services' Families Count (foster care mentoring), plus international trips to Guanacaste, Costa Rica (with La Iglesia Metodista El Remanente de Belén) and Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic (with Mission of Hope Ministries). Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary donations and tithes accepted online, by mail, and via stock, with year-end gift receipt letters confirming tax-deductible status.

The technology stack is minimal and non-proprietary: a Squarespace website, a YouTube livestream channel, and a Church Center sign-up platform for mission group registration. There is no disclosed app, API, SDK, or proprietary software, and no AI or data-analytics infrastructure is referenced. Pastoral leadership includes Pastor Paul W. Sorensen and Pastor Cody (who leads the Costa Rica mission), with the broader operational model implicitly supported by volunteer teams and likely a board of elders or deacons typical of autonomous non-denominational churches.
