One City Cares

One City Cares is the community outreach arm of One City Church — where faith turns into action. We believe the church doesn’t exist just for the people inside the building, but for the city outside our walls. Through strategic partnerships, local initiatives, and hands-on service projects, One City Cares meets real needs with real love.

From feeding families, supporting schools, serving first responders, and responding to local crises — One City Cares shows up.

We don’t just talk about change; we are committed to being the change.

Love God. Love People. Make a Difference.
That’s not a slogan — it’s our assignment.

One City Cares Emergency Assistance Program

As of November 1st, more than 690,000 Tennesseans will experience food insecurity — and over 100,000 of them live right here in the Greater Nashville area. With SNAP benefits disrupted and many government employees furloughed during the shutdown, countless families are suddenly navigating reduced assistance and missed paychecks. For many, this season has brought stress, uncertainty, and tough choices about how to provide. If you’re walking through this, hear us clearly: you are not alone. God sees you, and your church family is with you.

For those who are not impacted, this is our moment to step in with compassion. At One City, we believe hope isn’t something we speak — it’s something we show. When we serve, we carry peace into heavy places. When we give, we help lift the burden from someone else’s shoulders. Love looks like action. Hope looks like us.
