One Love follows the hilarious adventures of Pastor William (Mark Curry, Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper) and Carolyn Winters (Sheryl Lee Ralph, Moesha), the first family of Mt. Sinai church. Together for thirty years, they’ve led their congregation as perfect role models, but when their adult children begin to navigate relationships of their own, they have to find a balance between sharing their wisdom and letting them learn from their own humorous mistakes. Carl Payne, Chico Benymon, Sarah Fletcher and Drew Sidora play the children.
