Amplifying the stories of the citywide Church.

“Learning from other creative believers and being around artists of faith is a unique experience I have never experienced. I want everyone to know about this community and grow from it.” “Creativity needs continued inspiration and community. Get your tank filled with BOTH.” “The community of creatives from across the country that love Jesus is so inspiring.” These are some of the responses we’ve gotten from attendees of the 2026 CreatedCon, which took place on September 19 at

On Monday, October 19, youth ministries from across the city teamed up to bring their student leaders together for Storytellers, a fun, hands-on training in how to introduce friends and family to Jesus. It was our first time trying a collaborative training designed specifically for high school students, and it was a blast! With Columbus Public Schools off for the day, students spent the afternoon together learning that evangelism is a team sport, not a solo one, and that God

I’ll admit, when I first started showing up to the Good Housing Network, I was clearly the least knowledgeable guy in the room when it came to affordable housing. Around the table were architects, developers, attorneys, nonprofit leaders, and city officials—people who have spent their careers tackling one of our region’s greatest challenges, but what I’ve witnessed has been deeply inspiring. Under the leadership of Kim Stands and Jeaneen Hooks, this remarkable group of men an

Lately I’ve been reflecting on the in-breaking, coming Kingdom which Jesus inaugurated. What exactly does this ‘Kingdom’ entail? What does it look like? Paul states that Jesus’s world-renewing resurrection event confirmed that everything He said and did beforehand was legitimate, especially attesting to His identity as God’s son and His mission of redemption [Romans 1:4, 1 Corinthians 15:14-17]. In addition, His resurrection reveals the reality that Jesus is the risen King of

On September 20, believers from across Columbus gathered at Hope City Global for One City Prayer, united around one prayer: “In Columbus as it is in Heaven.” From the stage alone, more than 30 churches and seven languages were represented, with more than 44 churches represented throughout the congregation. Different generations, cultures, denominations, and expressions of worship and prayer came together with one focus: Jesus. Throughout the evening, we worshiped, prayed Scri

The process of fostering a deeper creative Christian community in Columbus has been a slow journey, but its fruit is now popping up all around us. More than ever before, believers all over Columbus (and beyond…more about that later) are connecting to discuss their work, share inspiration, and explore how faith gives us new eyes to appreciate what God has made — and is remaking — in our great city. Christ is glorified when His people behold Him in all His beauty and share tha

The role of men within Western society has been under intense scrutiny from many sources and sectors for some time now. While this has left men to feel hard-pressed and lost, spiritual dynamics are also at play. Men generally don’t understand what it means to be a man in a society that largely doesn’t appeal to a source of ultimate truth outside of the self. Without personal choice being formed and guided by truth, everything becomes subjective, and malaise and malformation b

"Worship must be the heart of the church because Christ is the head of the church." – H.B. Charles Jr. It’s typical for human networks (or really networks of any kind) to trend toward complexity and specificity over time. We as humans beings do the same- from the womb to the height of our personal faculties in adulthood. If healthy, we develop physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We grow, we mature, and we enact our God-given gifts, within our specific sphere of
