About Us
We exist for one reason: helping people far from God trust and follow Jesus. Every service or event, every Group, Team, or Class, everything we say and do is designed for that purpose.
Check out everyting below to learn a bit more about us-from our history to our mission, vision, values, and beliefs-and the critical role we think you play in everything we do.
Our Story
One Life Henderson launched in 2010, and grew into a 3-site network with a vision to plant churches devoted to changing the secular worldview of the next generation: One Life Network. In 2021, One Life Henderson was re-planted as an independent expression of this vision, and developed a locally contextualized vision for how we believe God has called us to impact Henderson.
The bottom line? God has given us an incredible vision for our city, and more than ever, One Life Henderson is committed to empowering and developing people to step into their unique Made For This, and to both experience and multiply belonging, hope, and transformation.

Our Belief Statements
Bible
Everything we believe, say and do is founded upon and held accountable to the Bible, which is the inerrant Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
God
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19; 1Timothy 2:5)
Jesus
Jesus Christ is the Son of God…and God the Son. He is the Creator of all things who was born to the virgin Mary, died for our sins, rose from the dead and will one day return to earth for all who have placed their faith in Him. (Matthew 1:18; John 3:16; 20:28; Colossians 1:16; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17)
Salvation
God created humans in His own image to enjoy closeness with Him, but we disobeyed Him, destroying the intimacy of that relationship. We cannot save ourselves, but need God’s tender mercy to draw us back to Him. Jesus’ death on the cross is payment in full for the sins of all who place our faith in Jesus alone for eternal life. In gratitude, we give up our sins as we follow Him. (Genesis 1:27; 3:8-19; Acts 2:38; Romans 5:12; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-10)
The Church
Jesus is the head of the church, through which He expresses His amazing love and awesome purpose on planet Earth. Followers of Christ are to become part of a local church, where they will be taught, strengthened, equipped, held accountable, inspired, empowered and set free to become everything Jesus created them to be. (Matthew 16:18; 1 Corinthians 12; Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 4:11-16; Hebrews 10:25)
