Our Message

The Risen Christ and Him Crucified for All of Life

THE BIBLE

The Bible is the only inspired, only infallible, only authoritative word of God.

THE TRINITY

We confess, worship, and rejoice in the Trinity: God as Father, Son, and Spirit, one God, eternal in three persons.

HUMANITY

Humanity was created gloriously in God’s image with a purpose for life and fullness before God in this world. Sin has shattered this relationship, and we need the restoration only God can bring.

JESUS

We are devoted to proclaiming the good news of the risen Jesus Christ and Him Crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2). His grace, His love, His sacrifice for our sins, and His resurrection life are our only hope in life and death.

CHURCH

The church is Jesus’ body, filled with His Spirit, where we live together, worship together, and build each other up in the most holy faith.

KINGDOM

Under Christ’s kingship, we seek His kingdom in all our life, living out the purpose for which He made us.

ETERNITY

Dependent on His grace, we wait for the final day where we will always be with the Lord.

Our Name

Columbus Reformed Presbyterian

  • Columbus: We love the city of Columbus. We believe God has us in this city and this region to proclaim His gospel to the people here.
  • As Reformed, we confess the historic Reformed faith that flows from the Protestant Reformation. You can learn more of this faith in the Westminster Confession of Faith, which expresses in greater detail our beliefs and practices. Our worship has a simple style, centered on God’s Word sung (Psalms a capella), read, and preached, and then our response to God in prayer.
  • As Presbyterian, we embrace leadership by elders and are part of a broader denomination of churches to which we are accountable and with whom we partner. We are members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America.
