Whether we turn on a news station or scroll through social media on our phone, it doesn’t take long to realize that our culture is rapidly becoming more polarized and unstable. These polarizing effects tear apart families, alienate relationships, and destroy the peace and joy that transforms a “house” into a “home”.

From the earliest days of the church, Jesus followers have witnessed the incredible power of the Gospel to not only transform individual lives, but entire households. These Jesus-centered homes became the foundation of the church.

We believe that Jesus has not lost any of His power to bless and transform the households in our community. We believe our church has been uniquely gifted and called to plant, grow, and nurture these Jesus-centered homes in Columbus.

We want Jesus-centered homes in our community to be places where we feel rested and recharged, the type of places we miss and grow homesick for when we’re away. We want to see Jesus-centered homes that overflow with so much joy and laughter that our neighbors begin asking what we’re celebrating. We want to see Jesus-centered homes where those struggling with temptations and sin can find hope and healing. We want these Jesus-centered homes to be places where the weary and brokenhearted can powerfully encounter Jesus and find rest for their souls.

We believe that when we’re able to come home to a Jesus-centered household, it will inevitably alter the rest of our experiences throughout the week. That’s because Jesus-centered homes are places where our cups are filled to overflowing. This leads to transformed students at our schools, renewed passion at our work, and deeper relationships with the people around us. We believe these kinds of Jesus-centered homes are what change communities, cultures and even nations.
