oneChurch.tv

Overview

oneChurch.tv is a nonprofit organization based in Clarksville, Tennessee, with a mission to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Founded in 2007 by Pastor Chris Edmondson, the church aims to appeal to unchurched and dechurched individuals, providing an environment where they can explore faith and reconnect with God.

History

The organization was established in response to the high percentage of the local population not attending church. Initially, oneChurch held its services in a movie theater and later moved to Northeast High School due to growth. When local schools phased out hosting church services, the church returned to the movie theater in 2016. That same year, GraceLife Church Clarksville merged with oneChurch.tv, further expanding its outreach under the leadership of Pastor Carlo[1].

Mission and Beliefs

oneChurch.tv emphasizes creating a welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. The church's mission is rooted in connecting people with God and fostering a sense of community. Their core beliefs are based on Christian scripture, emphasizing the authority of the Bible and the central role of Jesus Christ in Christian faith[4].

Activities and Outreach

The church offers Sunday morning services both in-person and online. It also supports various ministries, including a Military Ministry led by Pastor Don Dees, focusing on serving military members, veterans, and their families[2]. Additionally, oneChurch.tv engages in outreach efforts to help people develop a deeper relationship with God.

Since its inception, oneChurch has facilitated significant spiritual growth among its attendees. Over 11,500 people have attended services, and more than 1,000 have begun a relationship with Jesus Christ, with over 750 baptisms performed[1].
