One Thing Year

One Thing is a discipleship year inspired by the prayer of Psalm 27: “one thing have I asked of the Lord, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” At the heart of the year is a desire pursue Jesus in all areas of life, to grow in what it means to follow him and to serve his local church.

Structure of the year

The programme runs on Mondays and Tuesdays, but usually involves being involved in serving on Sundays too. The year starts in September and finishes at the end of July. There is no cost for the year but usually those on the One Thing programme work part time during the rest of the week to cover their living costs.

What would my week look like?

You would work as part of the staff team at your church within a specific ministry area, helping to run, plan and develop it. Each One Thing participant works alongside a staff mentor who helps develop their unique gifting. Each week will have teaching time in which we talk about a different aspect of following Jesus. The week might involve staff meetings, serving in mid-week ministries and spending time with your mentor.
