One Church

One Church, is the Mason City church plant led by former First Presbyterian members Eric and Tressa Voss that our Missions & Evangelism committee supports. One Church officially opened the first Sunday of 2025! They are amazed at the response they have received so far. In their January newsletter they share, “These past few weeks have completely blown us away. We can’t begin to explain how thankful and blessed we’ve been since officially opening up.”

First Presbyterian members Lee & Michelle Wilkinson were excited to be able to attend One Church the second week they were open. They came away feeling the Spirit is powerfully at work there, reaching new people, younger people, people whom Jesus loves. There were at least 130 people in worship, far more than Eric expected as he and the team were planning and preparing for this church. Seeing the work God does through ordinary people is such a blessing.

You can help One Church through your prayers for it and Eric and Tressa and their Core Team. They request prayers for unity among the church, continued protection from the enemy, and for God to prepare the hearts of those He calls them to reach.

To learn more about One Church, the work Eric and Tressa are doing, and their story you can visit the church’s website here. You can also read the post they wrote for this blog three years ago here. We also have Eric’s sermon from August 11, 2024, when he preached here. It begins at the 26:17 mark here.
