For Columbus

We're excited to launch our new Pastoral Residency Program this fall!

We've received several strong applications already, and because of the interest, we're extending the application deadline to make room for more aspiring pastors.

The residency is led by Pastor Rich Nathan, who served as the Founding Pastor of Vineyard Columbus for nearly 40 years. This local, practical, and cohort-based program is designed to equip leaders through:

• Small-group mentoring in leadership and theology
• Practical ministry experience within their local church context
• Intentional spiritual formation
• A supportive learning community of fellow residents

If you feel called to pastoral ministry—or know someone who does—we encourage you to apply.

Learn more and submit your application at forcolumbus.org/residency before the program reaches capacity.

Yesterday, the Church of Columbus came together around one shared mission: learning how to reach Gen Z with the truth of the gospel.

Pastors, ministry leaders, and believers from across our city gathered to hear from Aaron Pierce of Steiger International and to be reminded that Gen Z is not beyond reach.

Together, we gained practical tools for outreach, spent time in prayer, and talked about what it means to faithfully show up in the lives of the next generation with the hope of Jesus.

It was especially encouraging to see men and women from different generations, denominations, churches, and backgrounds united by a shared love for the young people of our city.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this gathering meaningful. Columbus, we’re better together.

This is an opportunity for churches, families, small groups, friends, and individuals to serve side-by-side and show the love of Jesus in tangible ways across Columbus.
