Love Our City Columbus
Sunday, July 30 – Sunday, August 6
Locations vary
Love our City Columbus was born out of a desire to see local churches come together without agendas to partner together to love the people around our neighborhood well. Coming off a past year of division and struggle in our nation we feel the need to come together in a way we have not done before so that we can go further than we could on our own. As a result, we are partnering with several local churches to impact our surrounding community in a special way.
We heard someone once ask a question: “If your church burnt down today, would the community around you notice?” We want that answer to be a resounding YES because of our united and consistent love. We ask you and your family to join us as we need each one of you to be involved to accomplish the dream of reaching Columbus for Christ.
