We have 12 current and retired pastors we call "Ambassadors" that meet senior pastors one-on-one to encourage them. Why Statement:
The Washington DC area is one of the most influential regions in the most influential country in the world. There is enormous wealth in our community, yet there are also extreme levels of anxiety, depression, division, poverty and brokenness. As Christians, we know
that God has shown us the way to thrive in a broken world. We recognize that Pastors leading diverse Christian communities across our region are on the front lines working to improve the spiritual, physical, and mental health of thousands of people in our region every day. Pastoring is an exhausting, stressful, lonely job. Pastors are susceptible to burnout and falling into sin. Our Purpose:
One Heart DC was founded to connect pastors from across our region to strengthen, support and up-hold them, to allow them to fulfill their calling and to positively impact the lives of people across our region. Vision:
Dramatically advance the Kingdom of God in the Washington DC area by growing pastor-to-pastor relationships, and strengthening the mission Jesus gave us in His John 17 prayer: “I pray also for those who believe in me…that all of them may be one.”
Mission:
To create a Gospel community that has One Heart by encouraging and connecting pastors.
