One King City is a bold vision
for unity within the church body.
It starts with
a biblically grounded vision and a 24/7 global platform.
Biblically Grounded Vision
At the heart of One King City is the desire to fulfill the great commission (Matthew 28:18-19)
by reaching out to a diverse world and uniting a diverse and divided church (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)
so we can equip the body to know and attain the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13).
The problem is pretty simple:
As a body we are not yet united - neither locally nor globally.
As a result, many believers do not know how to serve, tap in, and grow and countless seekers struggle to find the truth they seek.
The solution is straight forward:
Provide a platform that unifies and empowers the body.
It is our goal to unite and strengthen the body while also connecting the disconnected through an always accessible platform that is intentionally built to serve both believers and seekers.
We recognize this is no small task.
The Platform is Key
Imagine a place that helps seekers and believers find answers, a place that equips both pastors and disciples alike, a place that brings resources to launch ministries, missionaries, and outreach efforts. That's One King City.
But One King City is a place full of resources and other ministries. It provides its value not by taking from other ministries, but instead by connecting them and uniting them through an always accessible 24/7, global platform.
One King City does not espouse any single denomination of Christianity, but instead supports all those with the shared goal of bringing souls unto Christ.
One King City empowers Kingdom expansion through unity, acessibility, and openness. Through our vision we equip the body of Christ by acting as the relevant central point for tools and resources while constantly seeking kingdom expansion and unity.
While One King City creates resources, technology solutions, and provides its own outreach efforts with ministry positions and ways to serve through One King City, so much of One King City is that it empowers visibility of ministries and resources already created by others who are called to expand the Kingdom and reach the lost.
In short, One King City amplifies the body and accelerates growth by reducing barriers.
This platform is built upon unity. Everything One King City does is specifically to unify the body and to empower the body.
Through One King City, we can provide connections, equipping and discipling resources and a unique marketplace along with ongoing unity based outreach efforts.
Our Purpose is Clear.
In all these things, we give God the glory.
1. Be the Onramp for Seekers
Be a known and trusted source to connect the lost and seeking.
2. Unify the Body
Connect the body and make visible all ministries serving the Kingdom of God.
3. Be a Platform

4. Be a Marketplace

5. Serve and Launch Ministries

6. Create Local Ambassadors
Connect seekers in need to local churches who can help them.
7. Provide 24/7 Prayer Support
Be available to minister via site, chat, phone and email.
8. Teach and Equip Disciples
Provide relevant educational support to minister in all aspects of life.
9. Connect the Disconnected
Create opportunities for Christians who are not serving to serve.
We Serve Through These Four Pillars:
These four pillars demonstrate the core competencies of One King City and guide us as we fulfill our vision and purpose.
The Arts
Music, media, writing, video and creative expression are all tools we employ as they are gifts given uniquely to us by God. Through these skills and talents we produce music, graphics, content, and video to create unity within the body and awareness of the Kingdom globally.
Technology
Websites, apps, online tools, ecommerce services, and coding are essential to our always accessible 24/7 platform and our ability to assist in uniting the body of Christ. Through technology we create and build solutions to empower otherwise technology adverse ministriest to grow and serve.
Equipping
Training, curriculums, educational programs, discipling, mentoring, and providing resoures and tools are central to equipping believers. With a clear vision and purpose, we hope to equip and empower the body by both creating as well as bringing together equipping resources.
The Marketplace
In America and developed countries, the marketplace is in desperate need of revival and Kingdom influence. We hope to create tools, resources, and to unite disconnected business leaders and influencers to strengthen and encourage Kingdom expansion in the workplace and marketplace.
Unity? 24/7 Platform? What's the problem?
Although the world is now more connected than ever, the body of Christ is still struggling to unify all it's parts. Seekers struggle to know where to go to learn, grow, and connect even though we have more than 400,000 churches in the US alone. This is not a church problem. With nearly 1 in 3 people professing Christianity as their faith, the problem is that billions of people are disconnected from Kingdom resources, tools, and ways to grow in their own giftings. What we need is to claim the high ground, leverage all the resources of the body, make them widely available, and equip. One King City is the 24/7 platform to connect the disconnected, to strengthen ministries, to unite the body and empower Kingdom advancement at all new levels.
