One Church Month

July 2026

A whole month set aside to grow together as a church family through prayer, teaching, and shared life.

Three times a year we dedicate a whole month to be set aside for training, equipping, praying, and activating faith as one church family.

About

What is One Church Month?

Three times a year (in March, July, and November) we set aside a One Church Month — dedicated seasons where we intentionally focus on equipping, prayer, and growing together as a church.

These months include:

  • teaching and training evenings

  • times of prayer and worship

  • opportunities to build relationships across the church

  • moments to reflect on our vision and mission together

It’s a chance for the whole church family to pause, refocus, and grow together.

One Church Month is one of the ways we intentionally invest in discipleship, leadership development, and the shared life of the church.
