Meet The Pastor
Pastor Charles Burnett-Morrow
Dear Friend;
I believe you will find The ONE Church to be an exciting new concept in old-time religion! For the past 20 years, I have been on a journey of revelation and enlightenment, such as I had never before known. The Lord led me into a new season of ministry back in 1993. The understanding of God's grace and love that I have today has been worth every step of the journey. I have learned to love people without conditions and to accept folks without unrealistic expectations and demands. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a simple, uncluttered message. It is both practical and realistic in it's scope and application. Everyone who hears the Gospel ("Gospel" literally meaning, "good news") ought to perceive it as GOOD NEWS. It is not hope for some and condemnation for others. It is help for the helpless, hope for the hopeless, healing for the sick, deliverance for the oppressed, and liberation for the bound! I believe in a God of grace and miracles who responds to faith and answers prayer. We have seen the Lord respond to prayer and grant so many miracles in the nearly twelve years that we have had this work in Dallas. But, faith is the byproduct of hearing God's Word preached in truth, and too few churches seem to be doing this today. Too many get entrenched in the trappings of a false prosperity and carnally minded message of greed and worldly affections. I am of the old fashioned way. Preachers ought to preach a Word from the Lord, not just pretty messages that sound good but offer little substance. The truth may not always be easy to handle, but in the end it produces a blessed people, walking in God's favor, who experience the power of a living God daily.
Our church is an open and affirming church. This means that we welcome people of every age, race, skin color, background, sexual orientation, etc. If you sincerely desire to know the Lord, we have a place for you at The ONE Church. You will not be able to visit our church without immediately feeling welcome. Ours is a close knit family of faith. We do not merely speak of love and acceptance, we practice it! If you seek a church that feels more like a family, you will find The ONE Church fits that bill to a tee.
This is a restorative and reconciling ministry. No matter who you are or where you come from, we seek to provide the depth of teaching and the spiritual foundation necessary for you to live a victorious Christian life within the context of who you are as a human being and a unique child of God. God does not ask us to do what we cannot do or be what we cannot be. He accepts all of us as we are and welcomes us wholeheartedly and unreservedly into His family of faith. Our church name even speaks to the fact that God is One, His people are one, and His church, undivided, is one church! If you can love all kinds of people from all walks of life, united by sharing and celebrating your common faith, you will fit right in here. Straight, Gay, Rich, Poor, Black, White, Old or Young - ALL sincere seekers of truth are welcome at The ONE Church!
We would love to see you this weekend. I genuinely believe that you will be so very blessed for having made the effort to join us in service. I know in my heart that the Lord desires to know you, to bless you, and to walk with you through this difficult journey we call life. And we also would love to be able to help you in this journey.
We hope to see you in service with us very soon!
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Charles Curtiss
