WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN INDIE SPIRIT AT ONElife.
We think this is a great thing. We value the Biblical principle that every follower of Jesus is a minister in one way or another (Eph. 4:12). To this end, we encourage everyone who’s part of the ONElife family to be actively involved in ministry. We also encourage people to be involved in the myriad of ministry happening outside of ONElife. There are many great ministries in the greater Flint area, and we’re excited to see people using their gifts and serving with them.
As a leadership team we feel it is our role to equip and catalyze leaders to start and grow their Indie ministries. Below is a list of what we first need from you before you start your ministry and then a list of best practices.
