An Exciting Update on the For Family Network

Dear friends and partners in the work of strengthening families,

God is stirring something significant in Columbus. Across our city, we see the challenges facing families—but we also see leaders like you who are ready to respond with courage, compassion, and conviction. That’s why we are launching the For Family Network, a new collaborative effort of ministries, churches, and business leaders united to restore and champion God’s design for families in our city.

We have been talking about this for a while, but this is the first official meeting! We would be honored to invite you to our official launch gathering:

Tuesday, December 9, 2025 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM

Linworth Baptist Satellite Campus

5970 Godown Rd, Columbus, OH 43235

Lunch will be provided

This gathering will be a time to:

• Share the vision behind the For Family Network and our partnership with For Columbus

• Identify who desires to join this growing movement

• Begin tallying the collective impact we long to see across Columbus—strong families = lower numbers of divorce, abortion, foster care placements, and the list goes on and on.

• Build meaningful relationships with one another as we unite around a shared calling

  
  

Our hope is bold: that God's people would pursue His design for marriage and family and that His Church would rise up and care for families before they are broken apart. Your voice, presence, and leadership matter deeply in this mission. I hope you will join us for this important beginning. We recognize that your time is valuable, and especially at this time of year, it is hard to fit one more thing in, but we are praying that God moves many to join this cause!

Please email Melody Marshall at melody@myvillageministries.com if you are coming and include how many from your team will join so we can prepare lunch accordingly.
