Why 4thaOne
Finding the forgotten
Mike and Niki Robinson never set out to build a traditional church. They set out to follow Jesus. They have been in Ministry for 28 years, but for the last 15 years their "Church" has been found in the streets.
For more than 12 years they served on the streets of Hamilton, Ohio, alongside people experiencing homelessness, addiction, mental illness, and trauma. There they learned that ministry isn't about how many people fill a building. It's about how deeply we love the people Jesus calls us to reach.
Fast forward to the last 3 yrs, that vision has taken root in Middletown, OH.
