ReachColumbus

Reach Columbus is a joint church planting project among EFCA Student Ministries, EFCA Start Churches, the Great Lakes District and the Alleghany District. Columbus, OH, is a large metropolitan area with 1.5 million people. Almost a million (977,567) are unclaimed (http://www.thearda.com/mapsReports/reports/metro/1840_2000.asp). They don’t belong to any church of any kind. Eighty-three percent are unchurched, and we have only one EFCA church.

From June 28-July 3, 2010, close to 6,000 students with gather in Columbus for the Challegne 2010 “Undo” conference

During that time our vision is to plant three EFCA churches.

One down; two to go.

The first church planter has been identified.
He is Jay O’Brien. http://www.columbuschurchplant.com/Purpose.html
Pray God would raise up the other two planters.
