About This Organization

One Church is a rapidly growing, multi-campus church located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Originally founded as Calvary Baptist Church in 2000, the church was planted to reach a quickly expanding community with the gospel. Under the leadership of Senior Pastor Steve Willis since 2020, One Church has experienced significant growth, now averaging around 1,300–1,700 attendees across two campuses, with a vision to continue planting additional campuses rather than becoming a centralized megachurch.

At its core, One Church is deeply committed to biblical teaching, leadership development, and relational ministry. The church emphasizes a simple but intentional discipleship strategy: every person is encouraged to worship weekly, serve on a team, and connect in a group. This philosophy extends across every ministry, including student ministry, where the focus is not just on programs, but on developing leaders and making disciples who make disciples.

The culture at One Church is best described as a “family on mission.” Staff and volunteers genuinely enjoy doing life together, prioritizing relationships, teamwork, and spiritual growth. The church is known in the community for its strong Bible teaching, welcoming environment, and missional mindset, with a clear passion to reach both churched and unchurched people—especially students and young families—in the surrounding area.

With thousands of students in nearby schools and a growing population all around them, One Church is uniquely positioned for continued impact. For the right leader, this is a rare opportunity to step into a healthy, growing ministry with strong support, clear vision, and significant potential for future expansion and influence.
