PASTORS

The spiritual and social needs of our city are far too great for any single church to meet on its own. That’s why For Columbus unites pastors and church staff to pray, connect, and collaborate. We are strengthening one another for gospel renewal in every part of Columbus.


Authentic unity requires courage. For Columbus creates space for pastors to build real friendships and have honest, sometimes difficult conversations across lines of race, ethnicity, theology, and denominational tradition so that we can live into our oneness in Christ more deeply. But we don’t stop at conversation.

How to get started:

Participate in the FC Pastors Collective

Participate in one of our quarterly city-wide gatherings to connect, invest and impact our city.

Pray for the City

Use our Congregational Prayer Kit and prayer guides to unite your church in monthly prayer for Columbus.

Partner Locally

Join or help launch a Neighborhood Network to make collaborative impact with churches in your area.

We’re moving from dialogue to shared action by partnering across central Ohio to bring real, visible impact for the good of our neighborhoods and the glory of Jesus.

“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

VP of Ministry at Alpha USA

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.“
