One-On-One Information

A one-on-one is a 30-45 minute interview that is an intentional conversation designed to gain an appreciation of another person's struggles, dreams and hopes.

The purpose is to build a relationship with the person and to gather information about what is really important to another person. It is also a way to discern the passions and concerns that move people to address justice issues in the public arena and to seek action.

Within congregations, one-on-ones:

• Foster an increased sense of community as church members get to know each other better
• Help to clarify strengths, resources, and needs
• Create a clearer sense of what it means to put the teachings of our faith to work in the world

The type of questions that might be asked in a one-on-one include basic questions about one's family, schooling, church and job; questions about one's faith journey; questions about challenges, obstacles, or struggles one has encountered; questions about issues that one is concerned about in the community, state, nation or world; and questions about one's gifts and talents.
