For many, the transition through divorce, being widowed, or the experience of being single is the loneliest and most frightening time of their lives, often triggering profound depression, financial uncertainty, and social isolation. Finding the necessary support can feel like a daunting task, especially when professional help is financially prohibitive. While people naturally turn to their church community, smaller congregations face a significant challenge: they simply don't have the resources or a large enough singles group to sustain a ministry. This leaves a critical gap in care. One In Him exists to close that gap. We facilitate a practical, effective solution: pooling resources and single members from a collective of smaller churches in a region to ensure comprehensive and accessible support for everyone. We are currently serving the Kansas City metro, but if you have interest in starting a chapter in your area, please contact us.
Our mission is centered entirely on supporting single Christians throughout every stage of their journey. Our services are tailored to meet the needs of all singles: from those going through a breakup, the recently divorced or widowed, to those focused on singlehood, and those who are ready to explore new relationships. Furthermore, we recognize that forming a new, God-centered relationship requires unique support. We are committed to walking with new couples as they navigate the complex and exciting transition from being single to becoming a committed partnership as they work toward that God-centered marriage.
One In Him functions as a nonprofit1 corporation by filling a critical gap in care for single Christians. We achieve this by providing a practical, accessible, and comprehensive support system that smaller congregations, due to limited resources and membership, can't sustain on their own. We serve the community by pooling the resources and single members from multiple smaller churches within a region, creating a vibrant, centralized, and effective ministry tailored to all stages of a single person's journey—from those needing immediate grief or transition support to those exploring a God-centered relationship and the subsequent path toward marriage. This collaboration ensures that essential emotional, financial, and social support is equitably available to everyone regardless of their specific church's size, thereby strengthening the regional Christian community as a whole.
We believe that One In Him is stronger when we listen to the churches we serve. That's why we invite every participating church to join our Advisory Committee. The goal of this committee is simple: to make sure our ministry is always an asset to our participating churches and their single members.
The Advisory Committee ensures that every event and program we offer fully supports participating church's core values and mission. Your representative will be our key partner, sharing the unique needs and ideas of your single members with One In Him leadership. This guarantees that our events are always relevant, meaningful, and highly effective for the community.
Social events are the heart of our mission because they are the most effective way to combat the loneliness, depression, and isolation that often accompany singleness. In our experience, many singles struggle to find their place in traditional church settings, which are often oriented around couples and families. This can lead to them feeling out of place or even judged, especially following a divorce. Our goal is simple: to bring together Christian singles from various churches to create a safe, judgment-free space where they can socialize, build relationships, and share their unique journeys. We regularly host monthly socials at local churches and celebrate major occasions with joyful holiday events. The best part? We empower our singles to drive the fun—hosting other exciting events ensuring a vibrant and diverse calendar of activities for everyone.
Fellowship with other singles was the start of our mission, but we also believe a supportive community and learning are at the base of healing. Our Education and Support programs are dedicated to equipping Christian singles with the tools to navigate life's most challenging transitions. We offer compassionate, faith-centered guidance designed to help members heal from the deep pain of a breakup, the complexity of divorce, or the profound grief of widowhood and the challenges of addiction and anger. Through workshops, small groups, and mentorship, we provide sound biblical teaching and practical strategies on emotional health, forgiveness, and establishing new routines. The core of this pillar is teaching you how to anchor your happiness not in a relationship status, but in a vibrant, fulfilling relationship with Christ, enabling you to step into a life of genuine joy and contentment regardless of your circumstances.
Our Christian faith is a call to radical love, beautifully summarized in the Great Commandment to love God and love our neighbor. It is through acts of compassion, generosity, and service that we most authentically demonstrate the transformative power of Christ's love to the world. A ministry that is truly alive will always be actively engaged in its community. When we volunteer, we are not simply doing good works; we are living out the Gospel, providing practical support, hope, and affirmation of Christ’s message. For this reason, our ministry continuously partners with local organizations to provide hands-on volunteer opportunities. We believe that every member is gifted for service. We not only recommend participation; we commit to equipping and encouraging every person to step out in faith and make a measurable difference in the lives of those around us.

The Bible is true, authoritative, sufficient, inerrant in the original writings, infallible, and God-breathed. The Bible is the ultimate authority for life, faith, and morals (Psalm 19:7-11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
There is only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence but distinct in person and function. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-6, 46:9-10; John 17:3; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; 1 Timothy 2:5).
The Father is the first person in the Trinity and the source of all that God is and does. He is the designer of creation, the speaker of revelation, the author of redemption, and the sovereign of history (Genesis 1:26; Psalm 45:6-7, 110:1; Matthew 3:13-17, 28:17-20; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6).
Jesus Christ is the only Son of God. He is eternal and co-equal with the Father. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He physically arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5,14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13)
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God and is fully divine. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily (2 Corinthians 3:17; John 14:16-17, 16:7-13; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18; Galatians 5:25).
Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God's creation. All humanity (Christ excluded), by birth and action are sinners, the deserved penalty for sin is death, both physical and spiritual. Without a savior, we are hopeless and helpless to know God (Genesis 2:15-17, 3:19, 6:5; Psalm 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23, 5:8-12, 6:12-23, 7:18; Ephesians 2:1-3).
Salvation is a gift of God given to us by grace, and we receive it by a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Only by trusting in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone can one be reconciled to God and experience true life and joy (Matthew 1:20; Luke 2:52; John 1:1-4, 14, 29; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:21-26, 5:8; Ephesians 2:8-10; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3).
The Church is the body and bride of Christ made up of those who have placed their faith and trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The Church's role is to make the manifold wisdom of God known to all mankind by making disciples of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18- 20; Ephesians 1:22-23, 3:9-12; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2).
We believe that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Acts 3:19-21; Rom 10:9-10; 1 Cor 6:9-11.) Every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31).
Marriage is a biblical institution established by God as clearly described in the scriptures. It is God alone who has ultimate authority to prescribe and describe the marital relationship. We recognizes that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 5:16, 19:1-9, Mark 10:1-12, Phil 2:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 5:22).
Human Sexuality is only properly exercised and pursued within the confines of a marital relationship between a man and woman. Sexual immorality, defined as any sexual activity outside of the boundaries of the sacred marital relationship between one man and one woman, is clearly and expressly prohibited by the Lord. Hence, this ministry opposes all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography (Matthew 15:19; 1 Corinthians 6:9-18, 7:2-5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 13:4).
We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Rejection of one’s biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
