About This Organization

In the 1990s, Murfreesboro’s rapid growth prompted Dr. Mark Gregory to found Calvary Baptist to reach the expanding community with the gospel. Initially meeting at Middle Tennessee State University on March 1, 2000, the congregation relocated multiple times before purchasing 40 acres in north Murfreesboro and settling at 431 Dejarnette Lane in 2004.

Dr. Gregory led the church with a strong emphasis on the Word of God for 19 years. In 2019, he transitioned to a teaching role at a Bible college, and Pastor Steve Willis became the second pastor in early 2020. Despite starting during the COVID-19 crisis, Pastor Steve increased attendance from 200 to over 700 by 2022.


Now renamed One Church, it has grown to about 1,400 weekly attendees across two campuses, with 1,100-1,200 at the Murfreesboro campus. The church emphasizes worship, service, and connection, ensuring members participate in weekly worship, ministry, and small groups.


One Church plans to plant more congregations around Murfreesboro instead of becoming a mega-church. These new campuses will be part of a unified network under the leadership of one group of elders and pastors led by Senior Pastor Steve Willis.
