STEPS to START

  1. Church leaders review the One by One program and decide if the church is able to develop a One by; One Ministries at this time by seriously considering the following:
    • Does the church have access to a source for expectant moms such as a church sponsored or nearly pregnancy care center, relationship with a local OB/GYN Clinic, or, perhaps a neighborhood community center?
    • Is the church able, at this time, to make a commitment to reach out and minister to families to include:  paying the initial start up support, selecting a two to three member team to guide the development of One by one; and providing Bible study, fellowship, educational, and discipleship opportunities for the families served through the church's One by One ministry?
  1. Once these questions are answered and the church approves having One by One as one of its ministries, the church signs the One by One Church Agreement.
  2. Church leaders select the two-three member One by One Church Team.  This team begins meeting regularly as they recruit, interview, and approve the church's onsite One by One Coordinator.
  3. Once the Coordinator is selected and approved by the church, One by One Ministries trains her to develop the program within the church.
  4. After being trained, the Coordinator will work with the church's One by One Team to:
    • Educate the church family about the ministry.
    • Connect One by One to the church's prayer ministry.
    • Establish a budget for the ministry.
    • Determine the time line for publicity of the ministry, recruitment of the mentors and prayer partners; training of mentors; and, recruitment of the participants.
    • Establish the link with the source of the participants
    • Begin actually recruiting and processing volunteer mentors and prayer partners, and potential expectant and new moms/'participants.
  1. Coordinator arranges mentor training with the One by One Administrative Office.
  2. Coordinator begins the matching process between trained mentors and the recruited expectant or new moms and the One by One ministry begins.
