Marcus is gauging interest in a One Hope coed soccer team to enter into the YWCOs soccer league this fall. Matches take place on Sunday afternoons and begin on Sunday, Sept. 7. The team would be semi competitive and it would cost about $55 a person depending on how many people we get registered (aiming for 10). Registration closes Sept. 1 so we’d like to have our team settled by today. If you’re interested in participating, please let Marcus know via text or Slack message as soon as you can.

Student Cookout: Our Welcome Event for Students (Fall 2025)

If you are a college student looking for a church home in Athens, Georgia, we invite you to come to One Hope Church’s cookout on Saturday, August 16!

The details:

We are a local church in Athens, Georgia. We’re made of multiple generations and many walks of life, all united by a desire to respond in faithfulness to the gift of salvation given to us in Jesus’s death and ressurection.

We make a point to be an involved community and love integrating students. In fact, many of our 20- and 30-somethings attended a college in the area and decided to stay!

We are non-denominational, Elder-lead, and we practice, primarily, expository teaching and preaching (selecting a book of the Bible and teaching through it verse-by-verse).
