BE THE ONE MINISTRIES
ABOUT US
On August 6th of 2012, founders Steven and Katie Sexton answered the call to launch a ministry that gives students the opportunity to “GO” and not just “SIT.” While summer camps and youth events are impactful, Be The One Ministries provides the opportunity for young people to touch ministry. To accomplish this goal throughout the year, BTO hosts international and local missions, events filled with leadership training and outreaches, as well as a 10-week internship for high school and college-aged students. Since its beginning, Be The One has seen spiritual awakening by speaking right into the hearts of those who are discouraged, distracted, or in spiritual decline. Each year, countless pastors, leaders, and their congregations are encouraged by our events. The team has ministered at conferences, summer camps, youth rallies, and churches across the United States and other nations! We’ve seen transformation occur in hundreds of lives as people surrender to the Father and realize that their story can make an impact. Students and young leaders have experienced more freedom in Christ, identified their God-given gifts, and stepped into more leadership because of this ministry.
OUR VISION
Be The One was formed to awaken believers to be more than just average Christianity. The heart of this ministry is to see authentic transformation by teaching people to engage in partnership with God. A partnership is different from just showing up to church… it’s being the church. Our vision is to teach and train God’s people to “Be the One” in every situation and in every season in life. We are committed to activate faith, elevate understanding, and cultivate God given gifts.
OUR CULTURE
Seek Him
A fun personality is not all that it takes to impact people. Colossians 4:2 says, “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving.” Without a relationship with the Father, it is impossible to make a lasting effect on the lives of people.
See People
We see and love all people no matter how they look, talk, or act. We don’t want a single person to be overlooked. We want to build relationships with all people. Seeing people means loving those who are not easy to love, reaching out to those who are typically overlooked, and never letting your friend quota get full.
Bring the Fun
We love having fun, but we also understand that fun doesn’t “just happen”. By creating a life-giving atmosphere we can turn a rainy day into the best day ever. At each Be the One event, we want every person to leave with the desire to come back. We want to minimize discouragement and maximize their excitement!
Always Give
At Be the One we understand the value of always giving. By maintaining an always give attitude, refusing to complain, and helping wherever is needed… we believe that students will see that serving is the only way to grow in leadership and influence.
Make It Better
At BTO we value leaving things better than when we came. This looks like cleaning up every piece of trash at an outreach location and even remembering that a student’s life can be transformed by attending our events. By having a “make it better” mindset, we can effectively awaken the next generation of young believers, as well as leave a mark everywhere we go.
Choose Honor
No matter what, you are always choosing something. At Be the One we Choose Honor. We recognize that honor is a command given by the Lord. We believe that you have to choose to honor those who are above, beside, and below you!
