Julie brings warmth everywhere she goes—both in personality and in the sunshine she loves so much. Her heart for encouragement, hospitality, and caring for others is a vital part of their ministry together.
Together, Jacob and Julie are committed to helping individuals and families grow, thrive, and experience the life-changing power of Jesus. Their desire is to build a church where Jesus is at the center and people are at the heart—a place where faith feels real, hope grows strong, and lives are transformed.

Married for 15 years, they’ve built their life and ministry on authenticity, compassion, and a genuine love for people. They’re proud parents of four boys and recently welcomed a wonderful daughter-in-law into their family.

Why we're starting
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”
Psalm 127:1
The story of OneLife didn’t begin with a strategy or a building; it began with a thought— that God was doing something new. Over time, that stirring became a conviction: people matter to God, and He is calling us to create a place where they can discover the life He designed for them.
​
Every person has one life to live — one life God formed with purpose before they ever took a breath. Scripture says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you” (Jeremiah 1:5). That means you aren’t accidental. You aren’t overlooked. Your life carries eternal weight and intentional design. And that truth is at the core of why we’re starting OneLife.
​
This church was born from prayer — simple, steady prayer around tables and living rooms. We prayed like Jesus instructed: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done” (Matthew 6:10). And slowly, God began shaping a vision for a church that looked less like a weekly event and more like a family on mission.
​
We’re starting OneLife because we believe God still seeks people. Jesus said, “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). That means He’s after the hurting, the overlooked, the exhausted, the searching. And we want to join Him in that pursuit. We want to be a church that runs toward people — not away from them.
We’re building a community where people can come as they are, because Scripture reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted” (Psalm 34:18). We don’t want anyone to feel they must be perfect to belong. We want OneLife to be a place where grace meets real life — where questions, struggles, doubts, and victories are welcomed.
​
We also believe God created us for community. “Two are better than one… a cord of three strands is not easily broken”(Ecclesiastes 4:9–12). OneLife is being built as a place where relationships are strengthened, burdens are shared, and nobody walks alone.
​
And finally, we’re starting OneLife because we believe in God’s promise:
“Look at the nations and watch — and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe” (Habakkuk 1:5). We believe God is preparing something beyond anything we could build on our own. Every step we take — every decision, every prayer, every plan — is rooted in this truth: He is faithful. He will finish what He starts (Philippians 1:6).​
We’re not just planting a church. We’re joining God in a story He is already writing. A story that includes you.
Thank you for being part of the beginning of something beautiful. This is only the start — and we can’t wait to see what God does next.
