Northwest Christian Church Information

Northwest Christian church was established in 1957 to serve the Northwest area of Columbus, Ohio. We are a part of the international Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination. Our current membership numbers around 350 people. Our faith is not complicated. We respect and welcome differences in beliefs, while at our unified core is the belief that Jesus is the Christ, the revealed Son of God. We accept his grace and salvation as a free gift offered to all who believe. We celebrate a resurrected Christ and proclaim him as the personal Lord and Savior of our lives. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday, and we baptize by immersion when one makes his or her individual statement of faith in Jesus Christ. As a part of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), we are committed to working towards Christian unity. Our hearts have been inspired, throughout the years by the strength of spirit shown by our ministers. They have faithfully led us to be a congregation in mission. From young children to older adults, we are committed to living out our faith. Our children are involved in hands-on outreach projects like collecting macaroni or rice to help to feed the hungry. Our elementary-age kids participate in Kids of the Kingdom, a Bible study - music - fellowship based youth group program that meets weekly. They lead us in worship each May with their presentation of a Biblical story through music and drama. Our middle school and high school youth groups are strong and active. In addition to weekly youth meetings, these teenagers present their Christian witness each Spring through the presentation of a major musical which is fully staged and choreographed. Past offerings have been "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," "Jesus Christ Superstar," and "Godspell" to name a few. Our youth choir is exceptional! Our youth also participate in a bi-annual mission trip where they serve others who are in need. Adult opportunities for mission and service abound at Northwest! Through outreach efforts, like Habitat for Humanity and NNEMAP Food Pantry; through sharing of musical gifts and talents in four varied adult choirs; through Christian education in Sunday School, Bible studies, and special speakers; we are connected to God's Word and to each other! Our fellowship, too, is vital to the life of our church community. We welcome your presence in worship with us! Let us share our Christian love with you in this caring and supportive family of believers!
