ABOUT US
One Chapel began as a church plant in 2010 with a small group of people in a movie theater in Southwest Austin. Their dream was, and is, to help people encounter God’s presence, experience meaningful, spirit-led relationships, and engage in the mission of Jesus. One Chapel has met in theaters, commercial office buildings, schools, and now actual churches, but is still committed to retaining its original renegade personality.
In 2015, One Chapel became a family of neighborhood churches in the Austin region, with campuses now in Austin, Lake Travis, and Liberty Hill. Our vision is to help people move forward in their spiritual journey to fulfill God's purpose in their personal lives, in our church, and in their community.
We believe this transformation happens through WORSHIPING together regularly, BELONGING to the community, SERVING others humbly, GIVING our resources generously, and GROWING practically in the ways of Jesus.
Our values of Presence, Relationship, and Mission guide each and every ministry at One Chapel, as we offer our lives sacrificially to God, to His Church, and to the entire Austin region.
