One thing we commonly hear from our guest is that when they walked into our community, they felt loved and welcomed. We are a multi-ethnic, multi-generational community that love to encourage one another, learn scripture together, and rely upon the power of the Holy Spirit. We want our church to reflect God's kingdom here on earth, and we strive to help every person grow in their relationship with Christ so they can fulfill the purpose God has for their life.

What We Are All About
At Vineyard Columbus – Pickerington Campus we exist to develop multi-ethnic communities of disciples who experience God, love one another and partner with Christ to heal the world. Here you can get connected deeper into relationships through small groups, serve our city through various volunteer opportunities and gather together as a church family on Sunday mornings.
What to Expect
We want you to feel comfortable your first time here with us! Grab a drink from the café, then take in a down to earth message from the Bible with music and an opportunity to receive prayer during the 75-minute service. There is a place for YOU and your whole family. If you want to know more, check out our Welcome page.
Ways to Plug In
Kids
We can’t wait to help everyone in your family grow in their faith.
When you’re raising a family, it's tough to find a church that everyone loves. That's why we've created a weekend experience where your kids (birth–grade 5) will learn about God in an environment created just for them.
Students
Student Night is our Sunday night gathering for students in grades 6–12. We meet from 6–8pm. every Sunday night. At Student Night you can expect worship, relevant teachings, snacks, games, and Crews. (Crews are our in-house small groups split by grade for discussion.) Student Night is run on a regular schedule with built-in breaks for our leaders and staff through the year. Come and experience God, have fun, and build community!
Small Groups
We know the difference community makes; that’s why we’ll help you find yours.
We want to help you meet people you’ll connect with, who can help you grow in your faith, and cheer you on. And we make that happen through opportunities like Groups and Serving. There truly is a place for everyone to experience connection.
VC Serve
We want to help you make a difference in Columbus and around the world.
We’re passionate about what God is doing in our communities and around the world, which is why we love our partners who are making an impact locally and globally. We want to help you come alongside them and live out your faith in practical ways. Ready to make a difference?
We can’t wait to meet you!

Open Pastoral Positions
We are excited to expand our pastoral staff by investing in four key roles that will continue to set us up to be the church we believe God is calling us to be in the coming years. These four positions are:
• Students Pastor
• Next Steps Pastor
• Campus Launch Pastor
• Westerville Campus lead Pastor
Creation Care
In partnership with Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN), Vineyard Columbus staff and volunteers gather to study the scriptures, learn about ways to reduce individual and collective impact on the earth, and equip others to use best practices through information sharing, educational sessions, and activities.
The Creation Care Ministry also oversees the Vineyard Columbus Community Garden located near the Northside Food Pantry. If you would like to learn more, email Jenney Rice using the button below.
One City Worship Night
Join us for an unforgettable time of worship and prayer! One City Worship is an all-city gathering of the Christian community in Central Ohio. Thousands of people from more than 300 churches have attended in previous years. This diverse community comes from all walks of life to lift our voices and hearts together in praise of Jesus, and to pray for our community.
Come as you are and experience the joy and power in this expression of our oneness with Jesus. Prepare to be inspired, encouraged, and refreshed as we worship and pray together as One City.
