What OneLife students are saying
“One of the many ways in which Three Springs and OneLife coincide perfectly with one another is their drive to eliminate distractions that keep one from connecting to themselves, others, and most importantly God. Both TSM and OL deeply value and recognize the need to step back from the pressures of life and reconnect with the beauty and simplicity of presence. Whether this is being fully present with others, present in nature and God’s good creation, or simply being present with one’s self by taking necessary time to reflect in solitude. Whatever this may be, both Three Springs and OneLife wonderfully offer the ability to eliminate distractions in order to encounter what one needs most.”

“I believe with all my heart that Three Springs is the perfect partner for OneLife because of their intentionality in everything they do, focus on Jesus, and longing to grow deeper in relationship. The goal of both places was accomplished in me; to be strengthened in faith, build Christ-like character, and use our gifts and callings for the glory of God and the furthering of the kingdom...Three Springs staff facilitated a family for us as students at 3OL and I will always feel like I am coming home when I visit the farm. It was a joy and honor to serve alongside folks who cared so deeply about the mission of the camp, worked their tails off, and loved us well as students and honorary sons and daughters.”

“TSM genuinely adds to the OL experience because of the incredible examples set by Jeff and the staff day in and day out. Stewardship, wisdom, grace, patience (usually lol), kindness, and intentionality as well as outstanding leadership. It's also incredibly instrumental in experiential learning because the beauty and wonder of God's creation is so obviously there, from the hills and the sunsets, the sunrises, to the stars and the horses. It's so easy to find peace there and to focus on God. Three Springs is always gonna be my family and one of the few places I'll truly call home.”
