together,
we are for columbus
We believe that God has been orchestrating a gospel-rich, unified, citywide network before our eyes — bringing together congregations, nonprofit ministries, and marketplace leaders of different denominations, races, languages, and vocational callings to embody the Good News as one Church. For Columbus is more than an organizational experiment; it is a new strategy to carry out God’s vision to unite the Church of Columbus for the City of Columbus. Kingdom collaboration is the most powerful strategy for addressing the most pressing needs in our city today.
To achieve this vision, we are calling upon the whole Church to come together and pitch in so that we can tackle complex issues, create sustainable solutions, and most importantly, strengthen our credibility for Christ in a city we love!

To unite the Church of Columbus, to be for the City of Columbus.

We Are Just Getting Started!
For Columbus seeks to saturate our city with the gospel of Jesus Christ by unifying the Church of Columbus. The "For the City" Campaign will build on and accelerate this work through storytelling, gathering key players in strategic events, and activating impact through our cause
and neighborhood networks.
Our goal is to raise $5 million in 2025 to empower our mission to flourish for the generations to come. Together, we will impact ministries and marketplaces across central Ohio to connect, collaborate, and catalyze powerful transformation.
