SERVE THE CITY
We are all broken and in need of a Savior! Because we have been saved by Christ and shown incredible mercy, we are compelled to care for the broken around us.
As we are present in our neighborhoods and build relationships (outreach), we see deep brokenness and choose to walk alongside those who are suffering (mercy). As we walk alongside those who are suffering, we are confronted with deep injustice and broken systems; this causes our efforts to narrow in on specific ventures to decrease need and make things right (justice).
MERCY, JUSTICE, & OUTREACH
ONE CHURCH, THREE CONGREGATIONS
We've indicated the congregations that are primarily involved with each partner and initiative as applicable. However, as one church with three congregations across Columbus, the contributions of members at one congregation are able to have a city-wide impact as we work together to see Columbus transformed by the gospel.
