PATRONS

We’re inviting 50 Patrons to commit $12,000 or more annually for five years as business sponsors, church partners, or individual families. FC Patrons are generous investors who believe in the power of collaborative impact. Their support strengthens citywide unity, equips leaders, and accelerates a movement where every part of our city experiences the love of Jesus. Patrons also receive early access to new resources, monthly impact updates, and invitations to key gatherings shaping the future of our city.

PATRON FAQs

Giving to a single church or ministry is powerful! But giving to For Columbus multiplies impact. We don’t replace local ministries, work around them, or compete, we unite them. Your gift fuels the infrastructure that aligns hundreds of churches, Christian nonprofits, and workplace leaders to work together for citywide transformation. Instead of isolated efforts, your investment ensures collaboration, shared resources, and measurable outcomes across the whole city.
Every thriving movement needs a backbone. Without structure, even the best ministries can become fragmented, duplicating efforts or competing for limited resources. For Columbus serves as the connective tissue through the initiatives, networks, and support that allow the Body of Christ in Columbus to function as one. Infrastructure may not always feel glamorous, but it’s what makes collaboration sustainable and effective.
Your support builds the “central nervous system” for kingdom collaboration in Columbus. That includes:

Citywide prayer and unity initiatives through Pray for Columbus.

Leadership development and discipleship networks through Columbus Discipleship Network

Cause-based and neighborhood collaborations (affordable housing, youth, new American support, human trafficking, etc.).

Catalytic events and backbone staff support.

In short, your gift funds the systems that make collective kingdom impact possible.
Individual ministries often have deep expertise in one area (discipleship, housing, evangelism, students, etc.). For Columbus brings them together under a shared vision so they can multiply each other’s strengths. By building trust, aligning strategies, and coordinating action, we ensure that the whole Church is greater than the sum of its parts.
Yes! Unity is Jesus’ prayer for His Church (John 17). But unity doesn’t just “happen.” It requires intentional leadership, coordination, and investment. For Columbus exists to steward that biblical call to help the Church in our city move from good intentions toward visible, lasting collaboration that the world can see and believe.
Because of patron investment, we’re already seeing:

750+ churches and ministries collaborating across divides.

Thousands of believers united in measurable citywide prayer.

New initiatives launched to meet tangible needs in Columbus.

Workplace leaders engaging to serve the city.

A credible, visible, unified witness of the Church to our neighbors.

Your gift doesn’t just fund programs—it accelerates a Jesus-shaped ecosystem for the flourishing of our city.
We measure success not only by numbers but by stories of transformation. We track collaboration, prayer engagement, citywide initiatives, and long-term sustainability. More importantly, we invite you to walk with us by attending events, meet leaders, hear stories, and see for yourself how your investment fuels renewal across Columbus.
Becoming a Patron means you’re a partner in shaping the future of our city. Patrons provide the consistent and powerful backbone support that keeps collaboration alive and sustainable. Your investment doesn’t simply fund programs; it fuels a citywide movement where the whole Church is united for the whole city.

Becoming a Patron is a tangible way to answer Jesus’ prayer: “That they may all be one… so that the world may believe.” (John 17:21)
