One Way Baptist Church is a Holy Ghost filed church that is committed to God and to serving others by reaching upward, inward, and outward.  Jesus came to serve the world, and for the glory of God.  One Way exists to serve by releasing loving disciples who change our world one life at a time.

Our Mission is simple: We are here to Love God, to Love His People, and to show it in serving others.  As we make disciples that make disciples, we will hear from God and then act in faith.

Exposition is one of the processes of communicating from the Bible the meaning of the text as the biblical author intended and then applying it to the audience in a relevant manner. This is critical because in our community we need to be taught not entertained (I Timothy 4:13; II Timothy 4:1-5).

It is not the government that has the responsibility of taking care of God's family. The church is responsible for the church so that the secular world sees first hand the reality of the divine household at work (John 13:35; Acts 2:44-45; Philippians 4:19).

While it is true that we have a tremendous heritage as a people, it must not be forgotten it is equally true that we cannot become locked into traditions that are man-made and that are not biblical.  Two questions must be asked about all the activities of the church: Is it biblical and then is it effective? The Bible must sit in judgement over our heritage (Matthew 15:1-9; Colossians 2:8).

One man cannot do it all and should not try. God has so constructed the spiritual body like the human body so that every part must contribute so that the whole might function properly. Believers must be held accountable to serve the rest of the church family so the gifts of the body can be enhanced and leaders developed (Ephesians 4:7-17; I Corinthians 12:12-27; II Timothy 2:2).

It is not enough to have people's names on the church roll. They must be held accountable for learning and applying God's truth. This means that the church has to establish accountability mechanisms that are followed up with and by its members (Matthew 28:17-20).

This must not be done only through the sermons, but also in the discipline procedures of the church so that the members see the seriousness of the Holy Spirit leading; beginning in the pulpit and moving into the pews (I Corinthians 5:11; II Thessalonians 3:6).

The church is not first of all a geographical site where a building is located. It is first and foremost a fellowship of believers who, in response to their Lord, share themselves and their resources to address the needs of its members (Acts 4:32-37).

We can ill afford to be divided over non-essential matters. While we cannot compromise biblical truth, if we can find a basis for the unity on the essentials of the faith, then we will have the unity which is necessary to oppose our adversary in the community for which we serve (John 17:12, 21; Ephesians 4:13).

The plight of our African American community and families demands that we must move beyond Choir Musicals, Men's and Women's day and other programs that are not tied to ministry.

God ought not to receive the leftovers, but rather He ought to have the absolute best we can offer Him given the resources at our disposal. People need to know that when they serve God, they do so in keeping with His perfection (Malachi 1:6-10).
