Our Current Missions
Serving Our Community and the World
As a church community, we engage in mission projects that make a tangible difference in Columbus and beyond. We invite you to help us uplift and strengthen individuals and families facing life’s challenges.
Ongoing Service Opportunities
Pack Lunches for Clients of The Open Shelter
On select Sundays throughout the year, we pack a free to-go meal for the day center clients at The Open Shelter. We can always use a few more hands willing to make a sandwich, bag cookies, and fill lunch bags.
