The Church’s One Foundation is a well-known Christian hymn written by Samuel John Stone in 1866. The hymn speaks about the unity of the Christian Church, founded on Jesus Christ as its strong and lasting foundation. Its message emphasizes faith, love, and the hope of believers remaining united despite struggles and divisions.
The hymn is most commonly used in church worship services, especially during celebrations about the Church, Christian unity, ordinations, anniversaries, and communion services. It is popular in many Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, and other Protestant traditions around the world.
