From Humble Beginnings to Flourishing Growth

1-Ness Ministries, led by Pastor Brandon and Co-Pastor Stephanie Nickerson, derives its meaningful name from the teachings found in the Holy Scriptures, particularly highlighted in Ephesians 4:4-6 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20. This ministry, rooted in profound biblical principles, emphasizes unity and the call to spread the Gospel.

The Founding of 1-Ness Ministries

The ministry began its humble journey in October 2020 in a living room in Humble, TX, with 11 dedicated members. These initial gatherings were marked by heartfelt worship, prayer, and a shared vision of spreading the love and teachings of Jesus Christ. The cozy living room setting provided an intimate atmosphere where members could connect deeply with one another and God.

Expansion and Growth

After three months of fervent prayer and fellowship, it became evident that the living room could no longer accommodate the growing congregation. The church transitioned to a hotel conference room in response to this growth. This move was a significant step, reflecting the community's increasing commitment and the tangible impact of their ministry.

The period spent in the hotel conference room was characterized by a surge in attendance and participation. The members' dedication and the leadership's unwavering faith and vision played a crucial role in this expansion. Weekly services, prayer meetings, and Bible studies nurtured the spiritual growth of the congregation.

Acquiring a Permanent Home

The consistent growth and the need for permanent space led to a new chapter in the ministry's journey. In January 2024, after much prayer and divine guidance, 1-Ness Ministries acquired its building. This acquisition marked a significant milestone, symbolizing the church's establishment and readiness to serve the community on a larger scale.

The new building provided ample space for worship services, community outreach programs, and various church activities. It became a beacon of hope and faith in the community, attracting more individuals seeking spiritual growth and fellowship.

Core Teachings and Mission

1-Ness Ministries' mission is deeply rooted in the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. The name itself is inspired by Ephesians 4:4-6, which speaks of unity in the body of Christ, and Matthew 28:19-20, the Great Commission, which calls for the spreading of the Gospel to all nations. These biblical foundations guide the ministry's activities, emphasizing the importance of unity, love, and evangelism.

Conclusion

The journey of 1-Ness Ministries from a small living room gathering to a flourishing church with its own building is a testament to the power of faith, unity, and dedication. Under the leadership of Pastor Brandon and Co-Pastor Stephanie Nickerson, the ministry continues to grow and make a significant impact in the community. Through unwavering commitment to biblical teachings and a focus on unity and evangelism, 1-Ness Ministries stands as a beacon of hope and faith, inviting all to join in their mission of spreading the love and teachings of Jesus Christ.
