uniting the Church of Columbus
to be for the City of Columbus
What does it mean to be for Columbus?
To be For Columbus means joining God in His love for this city. We work together as one city-Church so that every neighborhood and every person experiences the love of Jesus.
It’s the people of God, across denominations, backgrounds, vocations, and communities, uniting for the good and flourishing of Columbus.
“Uniting the Church of Columbus, to be for the city of Columbus”
This is a vision of unity in action, where faith becomes tangible love that transforms our city.
“To love the city is to enter into its complexity, its beauty, and its pain—with the heart of Christ.”
-Tim Keller
Will you join us?
Because we love our city and long to see it flourish, we’re building the trellis that helps the vine of God’s Kingdom grow strong across Columbus.
We’re building, gathering, and resourcing networks of leaders, uniting the Church to meet our city’s greatest needs. Together, let’s turn Jesus’ prayer for unity in John 17 into a tangible movement of congregations, nonprofits, and workplaces for the good of all.
Don’t just live in Columbus, be FOR Columbus
“What an honor it is to be part of For Columbus, a unique gospel movement that aims to unite faith-based organizations to do good in our city. I can’t wait to see what happens when the body of believers in Columbus joins together and joins God on bringing the kingdom here on Earth, in Columbus Ohio.“
Don Wells
“It is my heart’s desire to see the city transformed by the love of Christ and have the power of the Gospel fully realized in Columbus.”
Scott Mallory
“I love Columbus. I believe a unified body of believers is the way our city will know that love is real and God is making all things right. For Columbus gives every org, church, and leader an opportunity to work with each other to bring God’s Kingdom here, now.”
Jess Gatton
“We don’t have a resource problem in Central Ohio… we have a connection problem. The Lord is using For Columbus to connect our city to solve problems together that we could never do on our own.”
Wally Martinson
“What an exciting time to be alive! God is SO FAITHFUL and I am glad to play a small role in assisting the unification of the global church here in Columbus. Maranatha!”
Dr. Wayne Gordon
“This glorifies God by demonstrating His unique ability to foster healthy community in a world where relational brokenness and strife are the rule. Promoting unity in the church of Columbus glorifies God and causes those who do not know God to sit up and take notice.”
