Columbus keeps adding apartments, warehouses, students, and new neighbors. The Short North version of the city is only one slice. Linden, the Hilltop, Franklinton, the South Side, Northland, and Eastmoor carry different stories and different pressures.
A follower of Jesus learns the names close by. We gather around small tables, read His words, share food, baptize believers, and put love to work during the week. Nobody takes an offering or earns a salary.

How to use this guide
Jesus Saves Cities does not operate a church location in Columbus. This page gives followers of Jesus and curious readers practical places to begin. A few people can read Matthew, share food, pray, and help somebody nearby. Local gatherings belong to the people who form them. A living room works, and so can an approved table at Columbus Metropolitan Library.
Ohio State shapes the northwest side, while state government anchors downtown and logistics work stretches toward the outer belt. Columbus also receives refugees and immigrants from Somalia, Bhutan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and elsewhere. Housing costs have risen unevenly. Some neighborhoods have easy access to groceries and parks; others do not. COTA routes, school schedules, and winter weather matter when a group claims it wants everyone at the table.
"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." (Acts 2:42). That's the whole model, and it moved into the streets every day. Learn Jesus' words, then live them in Columbus: forgive, welcome, feed, serve, baptize, and help somebody else follow Him. The study is preparation. Love is the work.
