ABOUT ONE COMMUNITY CHURCH



ONE Community Church is a dynamic and diverse family of believers located in Sierra Vista, AZ. Our beliefs are based on the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ. Our goal is very simple: to lead people to honor and glorify Jesus Christ. That means we’re not about a building or some complicated religious system, but about helping people from all backgrounds discover the joy that comes from knowing and serving Jesus Christ.

We invite you to visit us this weekend at one of our worship services. We know that going to a new church can sometimes be intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you’ll feel welcome and not like an outsider. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. You’ll discover a warm atmosphere, practical teaching from God's Word, and lots of friendly people pursuing God together. And with childcare and classes for all ages, your family will love it too!

God made a promise in the Bible that if we seek after Him, we’ll find Him. You are a valued part of God’s creation and His deep desire is to be in a relationship with you. So come and join us as we pursue God together!

FAITH

Biblically speaking, we all have been given a measure of faith. Whether that faith has been misunderstood, misplaced, or malnourished, we believe that through God's Word, prayer, and the community of believers, our faith can be maximized. Here at ONE Community Church, we believe that your measure of faith is more than enough for your life's journey.

FAMILY

To quote Pastor Dhati Lewis, "A church is not like family. A church is family!" At ONE Community Church, we value the family and we believe church should be a place for people of all ages. Every Sunday we provide children's ministries alongside our regular services, which offers an age-appropriate environment for children and adults to encounter Christ. 

LEADERSHIP

ONE Community Church is guided by a leadership team that provides overall direction and watches over the spiritual needs of the church. Our spiritual leader, Pastor Ken Richardson provides sound, practical, biblical teaching at each worship service. He has received theological and pastoral training alongside his multifaceted experiences and is equipped to share God's love with our local church and community. ONE Community Church is blessed to have a team of leaders who are truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will.

OUR HISTORY


SIERRA VISTA COMMUNITY UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST


Late in 1957 about 50 people from the Sierra Vista area joined together to form a Protestant Church. This was a joint effort of believers from 4-5 Protestant denominations who simply desired a place to worship God and to give witness to their faith. On December 22, 1957, they held their first worship gathering, using the Masonic Temple. Rev. Clell Hickman was called as the first pastor. By December of 1959, the church had 81 members, and they saw the need for their own building. Fundraising began, and land on the far east side was secured. Groundbreaking took place on January 21, 1962. The new building was dedicated a year later on January 27, 1963. That building now serves as our Fellowship Hall.


The church continued to grow, in both spirit and number. Music became an even more important part of the church life. By 1974 the church counted 225 active members.

After a series of pastors in the prior years, the Lord brought Ross and Shirley McGuire. They served the church faithfully for some 30 years, during which time our current sanctuary was built in 1980.

We have always welcomed people from varying backgrounds and experiences. It is our sincerest desire to continue to welcome the curious, cautious, questioning, and cultivated.  We invite you to join us on our journey of faith and service.
