One Mile Mission

Your Next Mission Field May Be Across the Street.

You don't need a massive budget, a large staff, or another complicated church growth program. One Mile Mission gives your church a practical plan to meet neighbors, pray for families, serve real needs, and share Jesus.

Reach Your Neighbors. Share Christ. Grow Your Church.

The challenge

Start with the streets around your building.

Many churches want to reach their communities but don't have a repeatable plan. Some assume outreach takes significant money, specialized staff, or complex programs. One Mile Mission starts with something simpler: the streets around your building.

One Mile Mission emphasizes respectful personal conversations and permission-based follow-up.

The framework

The M.I.L.E. Framework

M

Map Your Mission Field.

Define your radius, identify streets, assign territories, and display a progress map.

I

Invite Conversations.

Train volunteer pairs to introduce themselves, offer a Bible, ask two questions, and respect every response.

L

Love Through Service.

Respond to prayer requests and expressed needs with practical help, always with permission.

E

Engage for Discipleship.

Follow up when invited, share the gospel clearly, build relationships, and offer next steps toward Christ.

Two questions

“How can our church pray for you and your family?”
“How can our church serve you and your family?”

The founder

One Mile Mission was founded by Dr. Jeremy Roberts, who serves as its principal instructor. The approach grew out of a church outreach effort he was part of: the team mapped a one-mile radius, hung a large map in the lobby, and highlighted each street as volunteers covered it.

More about One Mile Mission

Frequently asked questions

Is this for my denomination?

One Mile Mission serves broadly evangelical churches and focuses on clear biblical teaching and gospel conversations.

Do we have to pressure people to attend?

No. Volunteers ask two questions, respect every response, and follow up only with permission.

What if no one answers?

If nobody answers, pray privately and move on. If someone responds through a doorbell camera, keep the interaction brief and respectful.

What does it cost to start?

The Starter Kit is free. An illustrative budget for about 100 households is roughly $200 for a map, door hangers, Bibles, and printouts. That's an estimate, and actual costs vary.

Does this guarantee church growth?

No. People plant and water; God gives the growth (1 Cor 3:6–7).

Is the course available?

Not yet. The course is coming soon and is planned as part of church membership.

What does membership cost?

Membership is coming soon. It is planned at $50 per month per church and is not open yet.

Is one mile required?

No. It's a practical organizing tool, not a biblical mandate.

Is it safe?

Training standards include going in pairs, never entering a stranger's home, respecting no-soliciting signs, and honoring do-not-contact requests.

Start with a map and a prayer.
