About us
One Volusia is a platform for the Volusia County faith community to share prayer requests, partner to pray for others, access events hosted by faith communities county-wide, and for faith leaders to stay connected, informed, and support one another.
We are excited and encouraged by the power of prayer and the community revival that is when we unite behind national, state, county, and personal prayer needs.
Our goal is simply to unite Volusia county. To do this we have created a way to enable members of our community to access prayer at any time as well as having the ability to join in prayer for others who are in need. This tool also enables faith leaders to share events and opportunities for prayer and worship in our county.
This is only the beginning. Technology is a great tool for connecting us. With strong Spirit-led leadership, and a simple goal to provide a free application which unites and empowers our community, we are excited about future additions and features.

Core
Key issues central to the Christian faith that cannot be compromised or the gospel itself is compromised.
Examples: The Trinity, The Deity of Christ, salvation by faith in Christ, the truth and authority of the Bible.
Creed
Our unique understanding of what the Bible teaches about important, but less central issues of faith. We can be brothers and sisters with those who share the core of faith, but do not necessarily share our creed.
Examples: Role of Women, Church Government, the Role of the Holy Spirit, understanding of sacraments/ordinances, understanding of baptism.
Convictions
Personal interpretations of scripture that Christians will certainly differ about. We must lovingly accept convictions that are different from our own, as long as they do not obviously go against God’s word.
Examples: schooling, entertainment, use of alcohol, political preferences.
