ORIGINS

Oneway was established in the fall of 2000 as an extension of a prayer group that some students started at the University of Texas at Austin the previous year.  God had been ministering to us, and we knew that He wanted us to share the blessing of His presence and the knowledge of an intimate relationship with Him to many others on this campus who were thirsting for more of God.  The Lord has placed a special burden on our hearts especially for the Indian community at UT.  Our mission is: to be a place of fellowship and support; to provide an opportunity for students to grow as Christians, taking it from a religion to a relationship; and ultimately to minister to our community and reach out to those who do not know Jesus Christ.

DOCTRINE

Oneway is affiliated with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and as such, ascribes to its doctrinal statement.

We believe in:

The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things,
  existing eternally in three persons—
  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—full of love and glory.

The unique divine inspiration,
  entire trustworthiness
  and authority of the Bible.

The value and dignity of all people:
  created in God's image to live in love and holiness,
  but alienated from God and each other because of our sin and guilt,
  and justly subject to God’s wrath.

Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine,
  who lived as a perfect example,
  who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place,
  and who was bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and   Lord.

Justification by God's grace to all who repent
  and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit,
  who gives to all believers a new life and a new calling to obedient service.

The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ,
  manifest in worshipping and witnessing churches
  making disciples throughout the world.

The victorious reign and future personal return of Jesus Christ,
  who will judge all people with justice and mercy,
  giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation
  but receiving the redeemed into eternal life.

To God be glory forever.
