Matt and Vivi Warren

Typical of the cultural flavour of One Church, Matt grew up in France and England as a child of missionaries. While Vivi grew up in Argentina and met Matt at Bible College in England. They were married in 1998 and pastored the youth for 17 years. Together they have four children. In 2018 they became Senior Pastor’s of One Church.

“We love the church and believe it should be confident, family centred, compassionate, and audacious in faith and service. If you’re seeking answers to some of life’s questions, just visiting, or already a follower of Jesus, we pray that you will connect with God’s purposes for your life in a unique and beautiful way.”

— Matt and Vivi Warren

They lead the church, teach and preach the word, intercede, pray for the sick, protect, exhort and admonish the saints in sound doctrine. In biblical terminology elders; shepherd, oversee, lead, and care for the local church.
