Monthly Missions Info Meeting
Find out MORE about OC missions at our monthly Missions Moments gathering. This time will focus on ALL things mission at One Chapel. We discuss every global and local missionary we support as well as the short-term trips we sponsor. Most importantly, we spend time praying for each missionary. We meet the 4th Thursday of every month upstairs at the Austin Campus. Let me know you’re coming!
FEATURED LOCAL PARTNERS
austin disaster relief network
Austin Disaster Relief Network is training and organizing churches to offer physical, emotional, and spiritual support to disaster survivors to meet short and long-term needs. By serving our communities in times of crisis, we offer the transforming hope of Jesus Christ. One Chapel is becoming a storehouse for those in need as well as a trained body of believers to help in times of crisis. If you are available to help our neighbors when crisis arise (general tasks-no training necessary) let us know by emailing Lore Cottone. Keep an eye out for in-depth ADRN Trainings coming soon.
