About

Who We Are

Overbrook Presbyterian Church welcomes and celebrates all of God’s children. For over 100 years, we have served the Clintonville area of Columbus, Ohio. Our members have helped build and influence the community through dedicated mission and service.  We actively share the love of Jesus Christ through multigenerational interpersonal connections, worship services, educational programming, community outreach efforts and by opening our facilities throughout the week to numerous community organizations and ministries.

 What We Believe

We believe that we are called to love God and to love our neighbors.

As a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA), our most basic beliefs are found in the Apostles’ Creed.  Below are the Mission and Vision Statements we have discerned as Overbrook Presbyterian Church.  To learn more about Presbyterian beliefs in general, visit the “What We Believe” area on the PCUSA website.

Mission Statement:
We are a community of God’s people. We serve through worship, teaching, learning, mission and fellowship.

We attend to local, regional and global needs of God’s creation, expressing the love of God and the caring example of Jesus Christ.

Vision Statement:
Gathered by God as Overbrook Presbyterian Church,

We respond to God’s mighty acts in the teaching, life, death and resurrection of Jesus by nurturing a culture of personal and corporate responsibility in believing, belonging, leading and serving.

To this vision we will:

Express faith and interpret God’s word in inspirational worship, drawing from various forms of music, the arts and the spoken word;

Become a center of support for all our members and neighbors – rich and poor, children, youthful adults, seniors, traditional and non-traditional families;

Welcome neighbors by developing a relationship with our community as a center of information and education about such matters as Christianity and religion, tolerance, justice, families, relationships, health, aging and other timely issues.

Expand our mission and service, which is the heart of the church, by growing our current good work while sowing seeds of new ideas.
