Who We Are
Our Values
God’s Word
- As 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says we believe, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Prayer
- Philippians 4:4-7 “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
- As a church we believe prayer is one of the most vital pieces of our relationship with God, both personally and communally. Prayer is how we are able to communicate with God, sharing with Him what is going on in our lives including all of our worries, cares and concerns. Not only is prayer how we can communicate with God, but is also how He can communicate with us. Prayer doesn’t have to be us talking, but it can be us being present with God and listening for His leading.
Relationships & Community
- Acts 2:42-47 The Fellowship of the Believers
42ÂThey devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43ÂEveryone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44ÂAll the believers were together and had everything in common. 45ÂThey sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46ÂEvery day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47Âpraising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
We were created to be in relationship and community with other people. God never intended for us to do life alone, which is why we as the church want to do life together. As we do life together we grow, learn, and even share the Gospel of Jesus with our neighbors, friends and family who don’t yet know Jesus.

- Our History
- Columbus Free Methodist Church was founded in 1921 by members of the community after Spray Town Free Methodist Church held tent meetings here. In the 1940’s the people built part of the building we are in now at 22nd and Maple. Over the years our building and people have changed, and God has continued to be faithful through it all!
