One City Week
October 12 - 19, 2025
Imagine…
If the Church of Fort Wayne took an obedient step toward Jesus’ command in John 13 to love one another and lived out His prayer in John 17 to be ‘one’.
If the Church of Fort Wayne committed to love our neighbor, serve the least of these, and make disciples in the ev eryday, united as ‘one’.
If the Church of Fort Wayne prayerfully sought the peace and prosperity of our community as ‘one’.
See below for a list of the week’s events! We would love to have you with us!
What is One City Week?
A gathering of The Church of Fort Wayne to stand as one, for Kingdom come in the city of Fort Wayne.
One City Week will serve to amplify our oneness in Christ, by encouraging our togetherness, unifying our prayer & worship, and connecting our love to the city.
Why One City Week?
The purpose of One City Week is to convene and catalyze The Church (both Protestant & Catholic) to be a collective example of the Church unified. Together we will declare a unified message of the power Christ’s living water flowing out of us in prayer & worship, love to our neighbors, service to the least of these, and unity at the table.
Agreed gatherings of the Body of Christ, such as this, become accelerators that:
- Embolden us to robust & united prayer
- Become a gateway to ongoing togetherness as God’s people in love
- Lead to transformational moments that can become generational movements
